I screen them all.  Who actually responds to these sadomasochists by actually BUYING anything.  In 60 years I have NEVER seen anyone running down the street like a little girl screaming, "I need aluminum siding and NOBODY'S CALLING ME"  God gave most of us brains.  Everyone else becomes politicians or telemarketers.

I just want to be left alone.  

Please leave me alone.

calls 3 times a day

Pretty sure the call I just got from these guys was a phone number fishing program as it hung up 5 seconds after I picked up the phone. Apparently they do this a lot; their BBB score is B- for their advertising/sales. They are just another company that ignores the National DNC laws.

I'm somewhat surprised that this loser has a college education but then see his major was agriculture, so he ought to be bothering cows, not honest citizens.


The business is known as GAD and it has a website where it will give you quote for its telescamming services.

Hey, Jason Graven, do you like making money by scamming other people?  How will you feel about this on your deathbed?  What did you accomplish in life?

They call a few times a day and they do not talk when we answer.

I just went online to Time Warner (my phone carrier) and blocked that number from calling in. Call your phone carrier and see if you can block the number.

Called again. Just keeping track of these guys. 6/26/2013

Start keeping a horn sports horn next to phone. It scares away big Black  Birds form my back yard.

They call several times a day. Earlier this week I answered. It was someone trying to get us to sign up for a free publication that we already receive. I told the caller we already get the magazine and I hung up.

Today, the calls have resumed.  They are now on our phone system's block list.

F-You

They have called here 5 times in the past 2 hours.  No one would talk to me.  I tried the 800 number above but it is now disconnected.

We've received calls from this group before, and when I looked at their number, it was different each time.  They're really starting to piss me off.  I've never answered their calls, nor any others if I don't recognize the name on the caller ID, or if it says "private caller" or "Out of Area",  The whole Do Not Call list has become a joke.  The calls stopped for a while, but they're back to the same frequency as before.  

They called, just now from 719 623 4411 10:26am Feb 18 2014, 1st time a woman left message on my voice mail looking for me by name.
2nd time they called, I did not answer, I don’t answer the phone any more I am sure if it’s important they would leave a message, if it sounds important but not sure I look up the No online just like now see if there are people like you are complaining.
If it’s all good then I called from a block phone, I used to answer the phone the more I answered the more calls from different No I received many calls from places with heavy accent (mainly Indian males) so I went to police, they tell me there is nothing they can do and these companies/people are way more sophisticated than they can handle.
Let me tell you all….This is all about gathering data about us.
You be surprise how easy they can profile you by just calling you and hear your voice.
the way you handle annoying calls, also they repeat the call to see if you are alone or the only one answers the phone and what time of the day you answer or goes to voice.
They like to know if you curios?, will you call back?, does it bother you and so many information by just the way you handle the call and the tone of your voice.
Then they use this to come to your door for (marketing… let’s hope its just marketing!!) or call you knowing you would answer and would not put the phone done on, etc…..
I am just puzzled, as to how we are forced to pay for NSA and many other unknown organization created by government to listen to our conversation and watch what we do where we go who we are friend with.
yet are not interested to go after these guys/companies and charge them, perhaps they could use the money for updating their system instead of asking us to pay for it.
If I don’t pay for my traffic ticket surely I be tracked, arrested and force to pay, or just take my money. Next time police calls asking for donation, I will give them Mr. Graven Austin No

You are an [***]. Nobody cares for [***]. Go back to your telemarketing job and stay off of this website for non-[***].

They call multiple times a day.  Very annoying.

These are very annoying people. I started giving them a dose of their own tactics. I have their  phone number which is
719 548 9292 which goes to their switch board. I then wait until they put a person on. then I wait until the person says her name Deb. 3 or 4 times. I say nothing and then hang up as they do. If we had a few thousand people doing this it would plug up their system.. Give them a dose of their own tactics.   Gus.....

fax a heavy text or all black page - toner is expensive

At work I've been getting calls from a Austin Graven but the number that shows is 720-961-5746. I even called it and a recording said the number was disconnected.

I work at Graven Austin Drake. Tell anyone on the other end to change the number for whoever they asked for...

Call 970-300-1047 which is the do not call number for them.  I have call this twice and still no response.  It should not take 12 days to have my phone number removed.

Just rcvd call from 717.368.4585 but didn't answer.  I called back and got a recording about pushing 1 to get on do not call for Gravin, Austin & Drake.  I then looked them up on internet and went to their website and my computer was immediately attacked and security warnings flashed.  I powered down.  Then ran a security scan.  Next I called GAD and told the company what happened.  They said they'd add me to the do not call list in case it was their company.  He didn't sound too bright, and he didn't sound too concerned about possible hackers.  He said hsi company was a call center for magazines.  I suppose the security warnings & beeping sounds were just the normal landing pag for their bogus business.  Anyhow, there is another number to reach them.
