thanks for the Portfolio heads up...they suck and are the biggest scam out there

I also have an Iphone.
What I did was make a contact for the first @#&^%$ caller and name it Blocked Calls.
I downloaded a ringtone for that contact called bees that is so quite I can barely hear it at all.
Now when the "others" call I just "Add To Existing Contact" which is Blocked Calls.
I don't know how many it will hold as I have 80 in that one contact (so far) and still adding.
Hope this helps you as I looked around for a way a long time before someone turned me onto this method.

REPORTING THEM TO THE WEBSITE ftccomplaintassistant.gov AND THE DONOTCALL REGISTRY

my cell phone block list for portfolio recovery. I use Mr Blocker. free app for BB. Hope it helps

Your poor husband has to listen to you all day? Arghhhhhh

I simply do NOT understand all the people who answer their phones to unknown numbers?!?!?!?! This to me is absolutely bizarre! I have had these total losers call me with every number in the book. Yet, because I NEVER answer a number I do not know on my cell phone caller I.D., they hardly ever call anymore. They never leave messages anyway. For me, they would know it is a total watse of time. Thus, I have no stress in dealing with them. They can call until they are blue in the face. I will NOT ever answer the phone nor ever return the call under any circumstance. That is why I am totally stress-free.

The same A**hole keeps calling asking for the same person. He has been repeatedly told that the person he is looking for is unknown to me and for him to take us off the list. He is rude but I'm ruder all he can do is hang up.

how is it that their BBB rating is A+    LOL one of thse b's stand for [***]

This telephone number appeared on my ID caller list for the first time yesterday, 8/2/11.  The wife and I have made an agreement - we do not answer the telephone when it has a long distance number or unknown name.  I have registered in the National do Not Call List but it seems this jerks think they are above the law.  If they call again I am reporting them to the District Attorney's Office in my state.  Also, how do you obtain a "block number" for the house phone?  What I mean do I have to buy a gadget to put a stop to all this stupidity?

Thanks for the website Jan.  I intend to use it.

Reverse boycott. This company's own customers can destroy their cost/benefit ratio by consuming their service.

When a company can repeatedly call with the intent of getting money their customers can repeatedly answer or call back with the intent of not giving them any. They need people to pay with as little talk as possible. They don't want to talk with people who know they are never going to pay. Be all talk and no pay. Answer when convenient. Call back. Give no information. Verify nothing. Ask as many questions as you can. Answer none.

Don't ignore/block/report them. It doesn't work. These folks want you to ignore them for as long as you can stand to or until you give them something valuable like money or information. Ignoring them is being their good customer. Sending a cease and desist is giving information. It lets them know you are still alive and remain their good customer. Their legal model is less vulnerable than their business model. Preparing to initiate unlikely individual legal battles is being their good customer.

Be their bad customer. Make them talk to you fruitlessly for as long as they can stand to or until they stop selecting you as their customer. These companies cannot spend seconds much less minutes on the phone with every person who will never send them a dime. But they don't know who that is. You do. That knowledge is power. Every second you can keep their staff on the phone will render their business less profitable giving them a reason to never call you again.

Calling will not reset your SOL. Making a partial payment will.

I like to ask general questions they should but usually won't answer. "May I have the name and address of your agent for service of process?" Calmly and slowly ask them to spell every word in the address. Read it back for verification. Control the pace. If they are rushing then politely ask them to slowly repeat. "Are you a corporation and if so in which state are you incorporated?" Repeat your questions when you don't get direct answers. When they won't answer a question ask, "Would you like to comply with the business and professions codes of your state?" That is usually the point when they hang up on me but if they say they want to comply then begin your questions again.

Repeat while you have the spare time. These folks have many victims and few operators. If everyone calls back but pays nothing the mass auto-dialer business model becomes unprofitable. Don't aide and comfort the enemy by ignoring them. Call! Have a nice long slow friendly chat! Make them hang up first.

Press 2 for Spanish.

For any business, customers who consume the most resources but don't pay (or otherwise add value) become the least desirable. Most businesses will stop (cease and desist) soliciting an undesirable customer. Those that don't stop remain knowingly vulnerable to the actions of their undesirable customers. Few companies can afford to let everyone take a piece of them whenever they want endlessly. For instance they must pay staff to answer everyone's telephone calls which can be placed at your convenience for the joy of it. Call and consume their operator time without paying or giving information. Be a bad customer. The worst customer. Inspire them to invoke their right to refuse you service by not soliciting you.

There are certainly enough victims with unlimited long distance to take down this company so ignoring/blocking seems downright Orwellian to me. Really? We're just going to passively submit and go with a block list or however we manage ignoring an endless stream of unwanted phone calls day after day? Hell no! Unite or remain conquered. Answer/return every call - become well practiced at keeping these folks on the phone - or count yourself not amongst the free.

BEWARE! These people are a scam. They are calling about a credit card acct Ive never had. I do not have any outstanding credit card debts. They ask for personal information, and cannot provide any documantation. They are calling every day and calling my sister and mother, which is strange because we all have different last names and Ive never listed them as references or emergency contacts! The only thing that links us  all is facebook.
We have reported these scam artists to the FCC, I suggest you do the same!

ADD 443) 313-1382

They keep calling.  I do not owe nor do I have any outstanding debts.  If you do happen to take the call, they do not even know who or what they are calling about.
How do you stop them.  My call block is full - mostly from #'s that they use.

Get a lawyer that sues debt collectors and sue the [***] for harrasment. I received a $1000 judgement from these ding-dongs...my lawyer ask for a jury trial and Portfolio settled in a heart beat...they had to pay my lawyer her $3500 fee, too. Hahaha!!!

Just get a lawyer that sues debt collectors, it's an easy $1000 in your pocket.

Lol!!!

Get a Panasonic cordless phone with Call Block.

If you ain't sending those letter certified mail, they just throw them in the trash.
