860-791-6721

Started receiving calls from this number today.

These are folks who want you to think they are here to help with your mortgage refinancing.

Caller ID ONLY says Manchester CT.

As usual - you are asked to "press 1" to speak with an agent . . . .
There is also an option to "press 3" to be removed from their marketing efforts.
I chose to "press 1" so that I could determine the name of the company that was calling me.
That seems like a real simple and courteous thing dont you think ?

So I asked the person that answered the phone what her name was - and she said "Mia".
I asked her the name of the company and she said "This is the intake department."
I said "THat's the name of the area you work in - I want to know the name of the company you work for."
and she said, again "This is the intake department." - - - I said "I just want to know the name of the company that is calling me, why is this such a difficult question ?"  at which point she said "THank you, have a nice day."  - - - and HUNG UP ! ! ! ! !

Now - why do you suppose ANYONE in business would be calling and would  N O T  want to tell you  who they were ??????????


Think about it !!!!!

Now these guys have changed again - - the ANI digits they're handing over are 406-623-3003 and the Caller ID now says Hardin MT - - nothing else.

The voice of the gal doing the recording is different - - - - UNTIL you press "3" to speak to the agent (who - again is NEVER accessible) - - - - but, the voice that tells you "All agents are busy" is the same as the ORIGINAL recording . . .

I'll start a new thread under this new number

Remember - press "3" - and leave 'em a message !!!!Caller: Harden MT
Call Type: Telemarketer

Caller Company: Hayden MT
Caller Type: Telemarketer

These are the mortgage refi idiots that keep calling and pass bogus and various caller ID's and calling numbers.  none of which are legit. . . . so, whatever phone number you SEE - has nothing to do with where they are really calling from. . . .

Here's a partial list of phone #'s and Caller-ID's  that these same idiots have been using -

406-852-8353    Loan Mod Dept
406-640-8788    West Yellow MT
406-623-3003    Hardin MT
618-741-1356    Cell Phone IL
901-654-5689    Memphis TN


If you want to fight back and have the time - here's the only strategy I've come up with -

Press the menu option to "speak with an agent" - - - - In all the times I've done this, I only got thru to someone once (probably by accident) - - - if you get the voicemail - - leave a recording, which then has to be screened by someone . .. the more recordings we leave - the more ineffective this process becomes. . . .

IF YOU DO get thru to someone - - - act real interested - DONT GIVE ANY INFO - - - but, placate them and at some point, try to get details of who they are. . . . and post it HERE so we can all start to return the favor !!!!!!!!!!!!!


LOL

These guys have changed the ANI and Caller ID   - - - - A  G  A  I  N  ! ! ! ! !!  !

Now they are passing 406-623-3003  and    Caller ID  =  "CASH FLOW"

I have a cell phone with only 250 minutes a month and this number calls me 4 to 5 times a week.
I do not have a mortage on my home and I do not know why these people are eating up my minutes on my cell phone...I am 70 yrs old and I can not afford to put minutes on my phone it is for emergery calls only..How do I stop these people from call my cell?

They are scammers!!

Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru. If you do not know how, call their custommer support!

But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:

Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.

It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!

Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!

if you have verizon you can block their number but i dont know if other services offer this

Conversation went as such:

  Telemarketer: Hi this is Dwayne, i hear you are interested in lowering your mortgage today

  Me: Absolutely not! Seeing as I do not have a mortgage, I have nothing to lower

  Telemarketer: Well stop hitting buttons and you should be all set.

  Me: Well how about these calls, seeing as I have gotten a few from them, I'd like to know how you got my number, and for you to stop calling it.

  Telemarketer: *Hangs Up*

 When calling this number right back.  It gets one ring, and then immediately disconnects.

continuous call backs and no message.  How many times do they have to get no ans before they get the message????

They will stop calling after you blow their ears off with a whistle, air horn or smoke alarm.

860-791-6721.
Called my cell phone. Unfortunately I was not able to answer before the phone stopped ringing. I thought that it was someone important, I have family in CT, I am in Maine, no one left a message. Now I know there are times when I do not leave a message. I think that most people check there phones to see who has called. House phone, I don't check that way. At any rate, no voice mail, I decided to call it back. Lo and behold, I get hung up on. Not once, but numerous times. I am one of those people that think ok, maybe they are busy and on the other line with a REALLY important call. Laughs on me! They blocked me. Wow....seeing this...they are a SERIOUSLY reputable business! Who does this?

they keep calling me 860-791-6718
