813-899-1569

1-813-899-2012  L J Bay Area Holdings out of Flordia.  I have no idea what they are selling but when I
spoke to them a month ago they started right in on personal questions.  I was more than rude, but they
are back.  They seem to call about once or twice a month but hang up when the machine answers.  
I know they peddle information, if you give them any, and either sell or give that info to others.  Delete!!!

Francis you are funny and you nailed them.  They are not really any kind of company and seem to operate out of an apartment.  When in the mood I ask the same type of questions.  The odd part is
these guys keep calling with the same line of crap.  I did a little BBB research and they have the worst
credit I have ever seen.  Their rating is F.   Let's see where is that soft ball bat?  He seems to have
a bunch of addresses and phone numbers -- who does that?

Problem:  Telemarketing is not going away anytime soon in fact it is getting worse and is troubling at best to try to stop.

Solution:  When I get a strange call / number (and I get a few per day) I throw it to VM (2 second operation) if it's important they can leave a message.

Whining, blogging and trying to chase down VOIP calls burns daylight.

Pffffft is an idiot.  Plain to see.  You sir are the Jerk of all the Offs.  

When are you people gonna use your brain?

Scammers do not care about the Do Not Call List.  You are crazy if you think most of these calls are not scams or phishing calls of some sort.  

There are some legit calls that come through but they are usually the police or political looking for donations or a survey.  

I agree that the DNC list needs stricter guidelines.  
Also, I agree that the government is not up to par with what they should be doing.  But things could be worse.  

Lets face it.  This is how things have been for a while and probably will be until someone can be traced.

But you people that think the DNC list is a joke.....well that's your opinion.  Some people have it worse than others.

It can depend on how much exposure your number has on the internet too.  Facebook, instagram, twitter, other public sites.  There are programs that search the internet for phone numbers.  Then they robo call these numbers.  When you pick up, it transfer you to an operator.  This is how some scammers work.  Others just randomly dial numbers down a list.  you call 10,000 numbers in day.....all you need is one sucker.  

Bottom line.  Dont answer any call you do not recognize.   Do not let your answering machine pick up.  That counts as an answer and your number gets marked as active.  Do not call them back.

If it is a legit company, they can mail you contact info.  If it is legit company, their name will pop up on your id or on your cell phone, after the number calls you......google it.  If you see they might be legit, answer next time.  

It's sad things have to be done sometimes like this.  Also, take all your phone numbers off of any social or public site.  I have done this, and now I might get 1 call a week from some people.  I have gotten two calls in last 3-4 days from this number.  I do not get the calls I use too though.  It was 2-3 a day every day.  sometimes more.  I reduced my exposure and over the course of a year, stopped getting alot of the calls.

I used to always get a telemarketer call; until I got on the Nat'l Do Not Call List.  Now I hardly ever get a call from anyone.s
I always sign up on the DNC list for any numbers I have.  Been working for me for several years now.  

Different Folks; Different Strokes.  Just cause it doesnt work for you doesnt mean the Gov't is not doing something.

Just saying.

If you don't speak, the call doesn't connect. It operates on voice recognition. That's why it hangs up.

I am on a national do not call list and they called me anyway.

Shut up [***]. Nothing the gumment does is good.  You must work there.

They sell bid lists to contractors for Federal Government Opportunities/Bids. We will never ever do business with the Federal Government again! Talk about fraud, waste, and abuse. The Pakistani Embassy in Karachi ordered 6 Gelato Machines from us this during our war over there. I felt guilty filling the order as taxpayers $$ was used to purchase them.

You are full of [***] as well as uninformed. You can be sued for doing this, I have an employee of yours recorded telling me you were a non profit, which you are not, you are an LLC. I looked it up while the idiot was still on the phone. That is flat out fraud. Violations of the registry laws are not the only violation of law you are committing. your "Survey" is also a bunch of [***]. You have a concealed agenda. I represent myself, and have done so successfully on many occasions. I can give you a handful of docket numbers. I can, and will, cost you a bucketload of money by the time I'm done.

Correction the company is named L&J Holdings Inc., and is well known for making unwanted telemarketing calls. Better Business Bureau looked into it and the company refused to respond. These people need to be brought down. Since they are apparently located in Florida they are not a moving target and so theoretically it won't be a game of whack a mole before they get shut down.

And more. Call their phone and how do they answer? "L&J MARKETING!!!" Yes, folks, MARKETING!!, as in TELEMARKETING

(813) 987-2490

Got a live person @ this number.  Asked to be removed.
CALL THEM !!!!!!

L&J Bay Area Holdings is using a variety of telephone numbers with area code 813 and prefixes 899 and 988.  They ask for your name in order to have you take a survey for a charity.  The do not honor requests to be placed on Do Not Call lists.  They probably sell your telephone number to other similar organizations.  Since the survey is for a charity they might be exempt from the federal Do Not Call list.  It appears that the only way to handle them is to ignore their call by either not answering or using a call blocker.

One other thing, Better Business Bureau in Tampa, FL has received numerous complaints and has L&J Bay Area Holdings listed as a telemarketer with a grade of F.  Of course, that does not mean anything to them as they are conducting a survey and not selling anything directly.

I even wrote to my  senator as i get dozens of calls a week.  However he is too busy getting his stupid face on tv to care about anyone but himself !

The biggest scam of all is the list !  Its as useless as any politician on their bestvday !

If you want to stop being called, just answer and say you're not interested. Bam, put on not call list.

Source: I do it about 60 times a day.

Not answering is the wrong choice. A not answer gets put on redial while a pick up and "I'm not interested" gets deleted.
