Your usual scumbag scammers - this time I "won" a $100 rebate card.

Called my cell. Grrrrrf!  Left no msg.

Called for only about 2 seconds before hanging up.
Left no message or voicemail whatsoever.

Called my cell-rang once, no message

Called it rang for 2 seconds- they hung up- no vm. Im in California- call showed to be coming from Texas-

Not even a ringtone on cell phone, just went to missed calls.  Number now blocked as spam.  So much for the Federal and state  "do not call" lists working.

Perhaps it is your understanding of the DNC lists that is not working.

The DNC list does not automatically block calls.  Instead, it provides a list of  "do not call" phone numbers to legitimate telemarketers who pay a fee for the list.

The DNC list exempts political callers, survey organizations,  charities, companies with preexisting business relationships, and some other organizations (such as debt collectors), but these organizations might have their own, internal Do Not Call list (ask them).

The DNC list  is not effective against criminals, spammers and scammers, because those people do not subscribe to the DNC list, and do not care if you are on or off that list.
It can stop calls from legitimate telemarketers, and it does a pretty good job at that.

Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is buy a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.

Google "call blocker" for more information.

If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers!  All that does is verify your phone number!  And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scam" (or similar).  Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.

Called cell phone located in SoCal at 12:22pm 04/17/2015. Rang twice then disconnected. I don't answer calls from numbers I do not recognize. Advice given by Sam above is spot on.

Same thing, received a call from this number, in NorCal, rang twice and hung up.

I had the same thing just a minute ago.  Call shows from TX, USA, it rang once then disconnected.  I'm adding it to my blocked list.

Rang twice then disconnected.

This number has called 3 times in 2 days. I finally called it back and it was an automated voice saying "Hi this is Lisa with Reward Redemption..."

This is great advice, thank you.

called my phone no msg hung up, shows up, missed call.

single ring, no voicemail.

I don't KNOW the # SEW EYE Don't AN$WER....period!

They need to be prosecuted for violating the DO NOT CALL list!

Just got a call from this number; phone rang once, then "missed call" message came up. I looked up the area code (Houston) and as I don't know anyone there, I didn't call back. Blocking the number now.
