These calls originate from the Chinese mainland, digitally repeated across the water to the US Pacific Coast seamlessly and uninterrupted by hacking satellite transmissions. From a central location in western Washington state, the possibility of dialing millions of calls to sequential cell numbers simultaneously is now reality. Basically, they are hacking verizon networkings on a continental basis.

Rang twice and hung up before I could answer.

They just called again - no one there when we answered......

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list.
2.    Consider blocking the number
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office.
Register your phone numbers online at http://www.donotcall.gov or call (888) 382-1222 (must call from # you want removed).

I have greatly reduced the number of calls to my cell phones by going to my carriers website (Verizon) and they allow me to block up to 5 numbers for 90 days. Since these scum change numbers every 30 I have had a very peaceful time. Call me once shame on you, call me twice shame on me. I also put it in my contacts list under Scum Suckers and assign it NO ring tone so at least after the first call they won't bother me anymore (I have filled all of the numbers in each and am up to Scum Sucker 47 now). This is only a whack-a-mole solution however it is the only one I can offer.
The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them nothing and they can make a million of them a day so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay $5 to $15 to your phone company. The scammers send out millions of calls per day which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls. You can also see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their con then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the caller ID at no charge to other phone providers and to it's customers as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.
Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant jail time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. The government needs to go after them using the RICO act. That will be the only effective means of dealing with this.

It doesn't seem to work since we are dealing with criminals that do not obey the law. Saying it doesn't work is like saying the DEA doesn't work since drugs are still being smuggled in (did I just disprove my point?).

Got a call didn't answer

Got a call, didn't answer called back and just got the busy signal...

My boyfriend and I got the same call on different phones. We are tired of this phony call

These people call me up several times a month at the most inconvenient hours. I pick up the phone to a damn recording of a ship blowing a horn and some idiot saying hes my captain on a free ship trip. STOP CALLING ME, ITS BEEN A FEW YEARS OF THIS!

I got the call, answered the questions, and when a live person came on the phone to get our names that we would like to have put on the ticket., I said before I give you our names, who do you represent, they said they were a question company that asks questions for specific companies, I said ok, who do you represent, they said something that an american could not understand from a person that sounded middle eastern, so I repeated my question 2 more times.  He hung up, and when I called the number back, it just starts to ring and then goes to a busy signal.  How does a person like me sue them because I was already told that I won the two tickets, and I did do what they said I had to do.  Oh, he said it would be a promotional cruise, I figured kinda like the resort thing, where in order to get what they offer, you have to sit in on one of there promotional meetings, trying to get  you to buy a time share to thier resort, and that is it.  We sat in on one in vegas, and did not buy in, it took hours, and they really did not make it easy to take no for an answer but we finually said we are broke, we gambled our our assets, and we have 20.00 to our name so that is what we can afford to any amount of time on your resort, they gave us our gifts and let us go lol.  I just dont understand why a cutthroat lawyer could not track them down and do a civil suit with the millions that were scammed and freeze thier accounts, which they would find out about before they talk to them or anything so he/she could be swift on securing money for him/her and us!!  It is called breach of contract, it was verbal, but on recording and I know for a fact that they have these recordings kept somewhere, so those they got to agree to whatever they are selling, they could use against them, if they tried to get out of it!  I would also sue the phone company whom sold an already given phone number making them an accomplice to this scam, and hell, if we can't find them, it will be the phone companies fault for not making them give all the info we have to give to get a phone!  Why can't we sue them for giving them a bogus number which was the onlyway to make this scam workable???  Is there a lawyer with half a brain that would and could go after everyone involved, not just the scammers!!!!!??????  Hey in the drop down call type, why dont they have scammers on their choices???
