I have just started repeatedly calling them back and not saying anything.  I just keep hitting redial while I'm watching TV.  They answer multiple times, stay on the line ~10 seconds, then hang up.  I've probably called them about 150 times an hour for the last two hours.  It's not difficult or even that distracting to do.

Before I stopped listening all together, I was able to ascertain that they have about eight operators working the phones.  If several more people start helping my effort, we can effectively shut their system down.  Maybe once they realize why it's happening, they'll actually start honoring our requests to remove our numbers from their calling lists.  Good luck!

The meant 72 years to get you off their list.  I have asked 4 times to be removed.  If they aren't scammers then they are very sloppy at business and following FTC rules.

People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office and also file with:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done.

The calls are being made from outside the US however most of the call centers (where you actually talk to someone after pressing 1) are in the US and the companies making the money from the scam are owned by people in the US. They will charge thousands of dollars on your credit card without performing any services.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC. Keep complaining to the FTC and FCC, and start bugging our politicians to pass laws to make it punishable in criminal court instead of handing out fines that they don't pay. Another course of action is to contact phone companies to find out why they won't block spoofed numbers. With today's technology that should be an easy thing to do, unless they are somehow profiting from the use of their systems.

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.
Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

For anyone thinking of using Special Information Tones (or as they're called in the industry SIT tones) to fake a non working phone number, they won't work. Since around 2001-2002, the costs of "digital" business lines have dropped dramatically, along with Voice over IP (Internet) telephone service. Neither of these use the SIT tones as the call information is carried separate from the audio.
This separate call information tells the calling party digitally if the call was answered, busy, voice mail, forwarded, rejected, etc. This renders SIT tones useless. Also the "TeleZapper" products that used to be on the market used this method as well, and were rendered ineffective for the same reasons.
It is also through this separate call information message that the spoofed caller ID information is transmitted.

Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.

Check here first to see if it is one of their phone numbers:

Pacific Telecom Communications Group
Follow JD's recommendations in the blog and stop them at the source.

Many of the disposable numbers come from Pacific Telecom Communications Group and they are currently under investigation and in the midst of various lawsuits. (The principles involved have been part of actions by the FCC under other business names).These businesses have ripped people off for millions of dollars, yet have paid only a couple of thousand dollars in fines. The only way to stop them is to throw them in prison for a few years to make this criminal activity less attractive.

The Oregon Public Utilities Commission has revoked Pacific Telecom's certificate to provide telecom services in Oregon.

The Indiana Attorney General’s Office filed lawsuits against:
Consumer Credit Group and Proactive Planning Solutions of Arizona for violating Indiana’s Do Not Call Law and Auto-Dialer Act known as the robo-call law. Both companies violated the Credit Service Organization Act and Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining $25,000 surety bonds with the state and collecting money upfront without performing any services.
Debt Zero of California for collecting money up front, failing to provide services or a refund and operating without a $25,000 surety bond.
Clear One Advantage of Maryland and Credit Arbitrators of Texas for violating the Credit Service Organization Act and the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining the required surety bonds.

Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved. Since they are operating across borders it should become a federal felony and should be handled by the FBI under the RICO Act.

I assume these companies or people get a list of new phone numbers.  I got a new number in December 2011.  I have lived in this house for 50+ years.  I have been getting calls for lawn service, security service, even a welcome to the neighborhood.  I have asked my house phone to be disconnected at the end of the month.  I do not get these calls on my cell phone.  They text me there and I just ignore it .

Keep getting phone calls even though I requested them to stop

Called them back, told them to take my number off their calling list.  We will see

Good luck Ive done about every thing and they still persist in calling, today I had told them that I would not accept any thing less than 1% when they declined I had informed them that they continually call my no# and that I had asked for them to stop, I then asked them if they could uarintee that I would be removed from thier list and of course they declined. So inlight of my situation I had created a face book page titled Morgage Inversters Corperation can suck my balls. please feel free to join!

Steve thay the clones at Morgage Investers Corperation are very persistant! thay will not stop, I have ask them on numerous occasions to not call, Although they say that they will take your # off and to wait 72hrs. It appaers that means we will not call for 72 hrs, because the calls just start back up again. I received my daily call today around 1400 and politly told them that I would not accept any offer less than 1% and the solicitor still insisted for my personal info (current finance rate) The BBB has no authority over them since they are not an accredeted business. and I am under the impression that the National do not call registrey has no control over their buseniss practices either. So in light of my situation I had created a face book page titled Morgage Investers Corperation can suck my balls. please feel free to join!

Ha good luck that just means that they will not call you for 72 hrs. Join my face book group Morgage Investors Corperation can suck my balls

They have called at least twice a day for over a month. My wife & I have both told them to stop calling & take own name off their list. But, the calls keep coming.

Hi everyone

Please register on this website https://complaints.donotcall.gov and wait 31 days and if they call back after that file a complaint them on the same website, also if the call was a recorded message you can file a complaint even if you number is not on the registry which means you don't have to wait 31 days.
telemarketers could be fined up to $16,000 per incident.

Calls about mortgage investors.

Got a call from this Mortgage Investers group. I think I know who they are getting by the DNC lists. They called asking for someone by first name, when I told them they had the wrong number, they jump right into their sales pitch.  Sneeky.
