716-219-6824

Caller ID said "Local" but the area code is from NY and I live in another state. Recorded message about "experimental pain relief drugs."

Same call received as described above.  Went to government Do Not Call Registry and filled out complaint form. Encourage others to do the same.

Just got a call from this number. I didn't recognize it so I didn't answer. We are already on the DNC list. No message was left. I'm blocking it.

How do you block calls please

Called. no message.

Same story, won't leave a message. I do not answer if I don't recognize the ID. I too, am on the DNC list and still receive several calls a day.
Also said "local"
I live in western Pa.  

Caller ID said "Local" but, of course, it was anything but.

3 Rings then hung up. I think it is more spam calling 7162196824 caller ID said Youngstown, NY and nothing else......
............Now, we will never know where this spam originates from, really, so absurd.

We live in TX so when it said LOCAL with a 716 number, I knew someone was LYING !!!  Really irritating that we pay for this phone line and can't control these nonsense calls.   I get so tired of the phone ringing with all these "fake/hidden" agendas when we did not solicit their calls.  I think we should get discounts for every call that comes through that are nuisance calls and being on the DNC list accomplishes nothing because too many telemarketers are allowed to hide behind fake numbers that you can't even call back.

Called and said it was AARP.  Wanted to send an alert button.  

called and said they where AARP. Wanted to send FREE alert button.

received a call from this number, starting out with AARP.  said medical provider gave them our name to be selected for
a medical alert device and $3000 worth of food coupons.  it's a scam. no medical anything will ever give out your phone
number to anyone!

It depends on your phone and phone company.  If you have a landline phone look in your phone book for directions on how to block numbers or call your customer service.  If you have a new  cordless phone, it might have that feature built in like mine does. Now if you have a cell phone ( android) then I recommend downloading Mr Number app. It does a really good job of blocking unwanted calls and texts. Iphone have that already built in.

Just called and left no message.  The Do Not Call List is just a BIG WASTE of Taxpayer money !

Since you have no idea what the DNC list is all about or that it is constantly working, you have no business complaining.

Honest businesses are abiding by the DNC list. We haven't received an (illegal) call from a legal company in over 8 years.

The call that we do receive are scams like this. They are illegal calls for illegal companies (or at least illegal sources). Crools do not obey the law. That's what makes then crooks.

What is not working is the current majority currently in the U.S. House of Representatives. If they were not so engrossed in  getting elected, they could pass laws with severe penalties for the calls, and finance the tracking and prosecution of the illegal callers.

Caller ID said 'LOCAL' but I could see by the number it wasn't. Didn't answer, but they left a recorded message claiming my doctor had referred me tp them ( I know that's BS), as I'm a senior citizen...LOL...I'm 52 yrs. Some scam about medical equipment. Blocked the number!

Left message that I was eligible for a free medical alert system for senior citizens over 65 and that I had been referred by my doctor. Bull****!  Also said that I would receive $3000 worth of grocery discounts.

Getting calls from Indians from this number. I don't know what they want and i don't care.

I am on the do not call list. Also the don't give me preapproved credit offers list.

Got the same, "you doctor has selected you to receive a medical alert system via AARP, and the $3,000 in grocery coupons, blah...blah...blah" the call came in on a 7/11/2014 (Friday night @ 8 pm). It did say "Local" but since we have only a few area codes in Louisiana, 716 is not one of them! Also, I'm not a senior citizen (41 yr old) & my doctor would NEVER release my info for a "prescription medical alert service". When it asked to press such and such number to accept offer or press such and such to "decline this prescribed service from your physician" I just held the line open, as if they got an answering machine or possible business after hours.
