360-322-6806

These calls are originated from various numbers. New technology allows them to trick your caller ID. Therefore, while your device sees this number, the blocking service from Verizon may see another -- [Verizon retiree].

So this number just called me saying her name was Megan and asking if I was a mortgage holder. The "rep" asks if you are a mortgage holder who wants lower rates. I responded no and the caller quickly disconnected. The call was definitely a robotic prompt that adjusts questions based on your responses to previous question. Do not give this calling system information. It is a scam. There is no working number associated with it when you call it back.

Called regularly by this number. no message

This number calls at leat twice a day & as late as 8:50pm Central Time.

this number has called me 7 times today alone...this needs to stop

Several missed calls. When I call back it says the number is no longer in service

Caller ID:  Washington State (either Arlington or Marysville).  Multiple calls coming minutes apart, then later that day over multiple days.  Apparently from a robotic, computer-generated and spoofed number.

I'm tired of complaints posted about the DNC or that someone receives continuing calls after requesting or responding telephonically to a removal process.  These are not normal business-telemarketing calls, nor are they intended to remove anyone's number from the call originator's system, generally a computer-based dialer with analytics to find and record working phones, either to re-dial automatically, or to create new dialling lists for resale.

The only way the Feds will respond (when and if they even respond to numerous reports and complaints since they generally cannot identify the party responsible) is when lawmakers realize the current system, designed to benefit a select few, is actually costing Corporate America, and especially small business and homeowners inordinate time and money.  Here's an alternative strategy (and in a perfect world, a bit of potential irony):

Instead, call your elected officials (Congressmen and Senators) and tell the staff member who answers that these computer-generated calls occur (at least 10,000 times per minutes which equates to calling your listed or unlisted phone, whether or not on DNC) at least once every 22-23 days, but when you don't answer or when the caller doesn't get their expected automated response, they repeat on the order of 30-100 times as frequent with a redial,  costing you time, money (and unfortunately aggravation) especially in your business dealings.

Tell them your business continuity is threatened, and you may be forced to close, creating layoffs and unemployment, and that current legislation is directly responsible.   Lawmakers have to be held responsible for job losses in their district.

If a homeowner, tell them you are requesting your service provider be forced to provide blocking systems, at no cost to you.

Tell them how many your receive daily, and that they are escalating in number, frequency, and repetitiveness from similar and morphing phone numbers.   Once enough constituents complain, lawmakers start to take on the issue, after all they don't want to lose support in reelection, even when they retire, since they want their party to continue holding control on that particular office.

In my case, I receive 30-75 times as many illegal calls as I do legitimate calls (which often are 100-150 per day) - including but not limited to real business calls, real telemarketers (those who will remove a DNC phone, or remove upon request) or those charitable, political and other exempt calls.  Thats a huge volume of illegal calls.  As a business owner, we must answer all of them.  This costs us time and money, even when they "hang-up" upon answer.

Remind those lawmakers that legitimate phone carriers are "supposed" to pass through the caller's true id, not simply a cloned number or an "out of area identification, and ask them to pass legislation to make the carrier who supports these false and illegal calls totally legally responsible for supporting cloned, spoofed, and other false computer-generated calls.  If carriers were legally responsible and responsive, and couldn't be paid revenue for passing these calls through their privately-owned systems, they (carriers) would quickly be forced to either block numbers after multiple complaints or become unprofitable, i.e. driven out of business.  Here's where class-action lawsuits could work, because the carrier can be identified.

If your elected official backpedals, objects/demurs, offers only sympathy or says he can't really help, ask him/her for permission to forward all of your calls for the next week to his office phone number, and them tell that official to expect an inordinate number of calls tying up that phone, both from yourself and other business/homeowners.

The official won't agree, of course, but if you were to forward calls as a [now] legal strategy [legal because you have given notice] officials will be forced to deal with this problem.

Lawmakers like to appear sympathetic, so tell them that simple agreement won't solve this problem.

Instead, ask them to imagine a hundred phones, business or residential, all forwarding calls for just one week.  Tell the lawmaker you will want to have them publically publish and report on calls lists.  Lawmakers are required to answer (and while not legally required, they do record) all of their caller's business and track all of their office calls.  Hold them responsible for reporting.

Imagine the irony of Republicans getting multiple calls for Democratic (Hillary) fundraisers, or the opposite, charitable requests on top of all those alternative energy/electric calls, plus all the bogus calls/numbers.  How long to you think an elected official could support and maintain their office staffing and operation before they would need to find a solution to this problem?

I've used this strategy.  Here's what happened.  I asked the lawmaker to report,  He/she gave me some 'preliminary' summaries.  I challenged them saying they had (from my own experience) omitted a number of obvious calls since they had also received a number (I could estimate from my own historic lists of calls all of which I forwarded) of other calls they didn't include in their summary.

Once I had challenged, the lawmaker became very uncomfortable, especially when they didn't include certain obvious caller groups.  The lawmaker refused to give out real numbers or statistics, so we promised to continue forwarding and to bring in the media and make a public issue over disclosure.  Not a friendly tactic, but one that got their attention.  And, we forwarded a sufficient number of calls in just one week to tie up every office phone for that entire week.

Finally, got the message across; but not getting any more Christmas cards.

Does anyone have any more information on this company?  LLC name, location, etc?  Someone mentioned that they are "LoanDepot" can anyone confirm this?

If you would like the calls to stop, you can say "please add me to your do not call list" and the calls will stop.  This is also true for any telemarketing calls.  If you are dealing with a "legitimate" LLC telemarketer, you can request a copy of their DNC policy sent to your address.  If they don't have one or don't send it to you, you can file in a small claims court for an easy $500.  The same goes for companies that repeatedly call you despite requesting to be added to their DNC list.

The called our business line 5 times Saturday, even though  we are closed. I see their number on my business caller ID almost every day.

Left a message stating I have four allegations against me and threatening legal action.  Voice was a robot.  Called number back and got some Indian guy saying he was with the IRS.  Called back three more time and they hung up my call.  SCAM

OMG=Oh My God!  This is exactly the same number that called my cell phone 6 years ago today!  When it did, somebody was asking for Gabriella "Bernice" Ortiz and assumed that 860-992-8174 is the number she gave to them when she was suppose to give them her real number 860-992-8173!  VERY AGGRAVATING then!, but LOL=Laugh Out Loud now to think how stupid this random call has been!
