No message left. Will be blocking the #.

Very pushy saleswoman claiming to be from Hilton trying to sell a timeshare

I didn't answer. No voice mail left.

Have received multiple calls from this number or others in this series of numbers.  PIA Don't bother with the Do Not Call list.  Automated response says they cannot track down every complaint.  Total waste of time and total WASTE of taxpayer dollars to operate the list.  We as consumers are condemned to financing an advertising platform which is totally unregulated by our tax support of the FTC.  Had to get rid of the land line, are cell phones next?

Called two days in a row ... no message.  Annoying since I'm on the, apparently BS, "do not call" list.

>> I'm on the, apparently BS, "do not call" list.  <<

Yet another poster who signed up for a govt freebie, but was unable to understand what it really does, or why it was instituted.  The Do Not Call Registry works well.  It is your understanding of it that is faulty.


Fact: The National Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!
The DNC list is a LIST, subscribed to / purchased by legitimate telemarketers, so they know who not to call. The FCC or FTC do not give or sell the list to unqualified recipients! Click "Tip" for a tip.

Fact: Telephone numbers on the Registry don’t expire.  You do NOT have to re-register annually.

Fact: Scammers and spammers ignore the DNC list.
Many use "war dialers" to quickly dial phone numbers.  After all, phone numbers are just numbers, and are no secret!  (Arabic numbers were invented about 500 AD, so even stupid scammers know about them by now).

Fact: The DNC list does not apply to NON-sales calls, such as political calls, charities, surveys, debt collectors and businesses with which you have done business with during the previous 18 months.

Fact:  Spam callers can be blocked by getting a real call blocker.
 Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.

Called 3 times in past 6 days. Leaves no message. I don't know anyone in FL and don't answer phishing calls.

Calls all the and leaves no message

Called and didn't leave a message.

Asked if I have ever been to Hawaii, Hilton has a hotel with a great offer.  Hung up

Called, left no message. Likely spam caller - selling "auto warranty to expire".

If your a hilton gold member or stated at a hilton and gave them your number its a automated call

Downside of being Hilton HHonors member.  They want to send me on a vacation to Orlando or Las Vegas and try to sell a timeshare or such -- I've lived in both cities, why would I want to vacation there?  A quiet beach instead? -- Never.  I ignore, not worth arguing with pushy sales people.  They're a blight on Hilton's name and reputation.

Received fraudulent call from this phone number, alleging to be Hilton and thanking me for a being a member.  I am not a member.

Hilton Honors doesn't know who the caller is but if you're a legit Honors member they'll remove you from their list so if anyone other spam bot gets their info, you might not be bothered.  Just FYI

It's Hilton Rewards. They called me looking for my boss and I said no but I can take a message since I am his assistant and the Hilton rep hung up on me. Today I just got another call from that number so I prenteded to be his wife so I could hear what it was. I tried to tell the rep I wasn't interested and that I had to go and he kept talking. Very rude, even though they sound nice. I eventually had to hang up on him because he wouldn't let me get a word in after a while.

Caller stated they were calling from Hilton Honors for me and my husband. Said they were offering a stay in Orlando or Vegas. Told them I am not interested and to remove my number.

I spoke with a salesman so pushy that it seemed to me like a scam. For example; wouldn't let me end the conversation, would go speak with a "representative" to lower my price instead, etc. Tried many ways to keep me on the line. And now I cannot confirm that it wasn't a scam.

All you have to do to end the conversation is hang up the phone.

Missed the call- called the number back. Was recorded offer for Hilton Vacation Club.
