866-376-3470

My number is on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) national Do Not Call registry.

I receive a call from this number - 866-376-3470 - on numerous occasions; nearly every day.  My Caller ID displays only the telephone number.  It is likely a fake telephone number but that does not matter.  Also, it does not matter what the live or automated caller says, it is likely false information until you are sucked in anyway.  After you return the call to the number they provide, you find out the real reason and originator of the call.

EVERY TIME I receive an unwanted call such as this one I report it to the FTC using its online complaint format.  It doesn't matter if it is a fake number or not.  I provide the date, time of the call, what the Caller ID displayed and the message if there was one.  This action lets the FTC know that people are tired of unwanted calls - and if they (the FTC) want the reports to stop, they must stop the unwanted calls by imposing heavy fines or allowing the commercial providers such as Verizon, etc. to block the numbers.

These companies/individuals know that most people will not bother to complain to the FTC - that is what they are relying on.  Thus, they stay under the FTC's radar.  Complaining at this website, other than identifying the caller and letting others know they are not unique, does little to stop the calls.

If more people would complain to the FTC and not just complain on this forum, the FTC WILL take action against these annoying callers.  The FTC does not act on one complaint alone.  It takes many complaints before they will take action - but they DO take action if enough citizens complain.

You, too, can submit a report at (note this is a new URL address as the old email address states it is not in service):

Click on "File A Complaint" on the left side of the web page - or click on "Continue."  It only takes a minute of your time.

Don't just get mad and vent on this website; get even by reporting the number to the FTC.
