Bill collector looking for someone that had the number years ago.

I've received seven calls from this number and they're not bill collectors. Each time they call they've asked to speak to someone different who clearly isn't me. After the third call I decided to play along just to see what they had to say. Note that all seven callers have been Indian and they won't identify where they are located, or the name of their company.

Once you tell them you're not the person they're looking for they want to know your name so they can address you properly. The callers then claim to be a company that handles promotions for Target, Wal-Mart, and some other popular American retail chain stores. Guess what? They are pleased to tell me that a "promotion" I signed up for at one of these stores has granted me a free seven night cruise for six people. I asked one caller how long this promotion had been going on, which the reply was "since Summer." I then asked how five different people I don't know signed up for an in-store promotion with my phone number in the last two months, when I've had this phone number for over six years. Silence.

I pretended to be the person on one call and acted enthusiastic to push forward, and to get this cruise all you need to do is provide them with all your contact information; including your address, phone numbers, and two credit cards or bank account number for "deposit security."

Just don't answer the number if you see it pop up because they don't leave messages. I'm trying to get the number blocked and I've reported it to Verizon.

Questions they won't answer and/or fumble around and change the subject:

Where are you located at in the United States or Globally?
What's your companies website address?
Can you email me some information about this prize so I can think about it?
If you're calling for <persons name> because they won a trip, then why are you giving it to me?
I'm clearly not the person you're trying to reach, so why do you need to know my name?
Can I talk to your supervisor?
If you have my sign-up information, can you tell me what store I signed up at?
You've called me seven times and asked for seven different people. You also said this "promotion" has only been going since the "start of Summer", but I've had this number for over six years. You're really just trying to phish information from me aren't you?

Another hang up call. Guess these telemarketeers get a credit for every completed call they make. One ring.. nobody there.

A Bridgett said this was a follow-up call for a purchase of a time share I made two years ago.  First of all, she said she was with Client Resources and caller ID showed G.W. Financial.  I told her I had never purchased a time share and certainly not from my work phone.  She apologized for bothering me and hung up.

Must be spammer time.  This number has called me morning, noon and night.  Like most of us here, I never answer if the number is not one I'm familiar with, and they never leave a message.  Either block it or ignore it.

Same experience as jeoffrey

We've received calls from this number several times over the past month. I've answered a couple of times...crickets. Other times, I've not answered: no message is left. Above the number it says "Unknown name".

repeated calls..no message.

I told them I couldn't understand them ( I couldn't) they hung up

called the number back, only get a fast busy

i answered and there was a pause then a loud burping  sound, i hung up

Caller ID said "Unknown Name.  I answered, no one there, hung up.  An hour later, they called again.  Did not answer, it rang three times and stopped.  This is so damn annoying, especially at this very busy time of the year.

Rang a few times, then hung up when I answered "what's the scam for tonite?"

Caller ID said GW Financial.  I never hears of this business before.  First  time I have received a call from this company.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.
