916-527-3010

Same as above note.  Just received a call from this number - no message was left.  Caller ID reflects the phone number.  

Unknown number, left no message.

This number belongs to Commonwealth Financial Systems Debt Collectors calling from one of many numbers from around the country. My big mistake was to tell them that I was NOT the person that they were looking for and that this was a new phone number for me, however, it mattered little to them.......then the high-pressure collection tactics began!

This number calls every few days, sometimes twice a day.  We have turned off our answering machine so the phone rings 4 times before they hang up.

Not sure how they accomplish this but they have different #'s all the time. Every time I answer it's silence or after a few seconds someone will come on & ask for someone else. I say to take my # off the list but they won't. I have no idea who Commonwealth is but each time I Google the #'s, that's always the name associated with it.

Modern technology has given telespammers the tools to call you.
Lawbreaking telescammers 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 most effective thing to do is to get a call blocking device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.

Google "call blocker" for more information.  There are available apps (some free) for smart phones, and services and devices for landlines.

If you cannot use or afford such a tool, then:

• Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service.  Telespammers usually hang up after 3 or 4 rings.

• 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 the incoming call was important, they would have left a message!

• 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. (This also works for smartphones).

• Another option, for cell phones:  Assign a "silent ringtone" as DEFAULT.  Then, assign your favorite ringtones to all known friends / family / business numbers.  That way, you will hear rings ONLY from those you wish to contact!  You will not hear scammers' rings, even if they change their number!  (This is also called "whitelisting", and will cause you to miss calls from non-whitelisted numbers).

If you want to report potential fraudulent or scam calls, here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report those scams, or learn more about them.

I don't know who it is but when it called my call blocker popped up automatically flagging it and saying it has been reported as spam or phishing and asked if I wanted to block it... so I took it's advice.

I got a call from 3010 and when I answered they hung up.

they keep calling and hanging up? i am dumbfounded. i am dumb
