If so, I will file a complaint as they called me 5 times today!!!

Didn't answer, they left no message. I suspect it was from Photonics magazine, since I recently got an issue of it and I saw someone above say their call was from Photonics magazine.

They called, I answered, silence, then I could hear someone on the other end. I kept saying hello a couple of times, could hear someone, then they hung up.  I called back, the message said thanks for calling the do not call line, of Graven,Austin and Drake.  Press 1 to be put on the list, 2, if I wanted to add another number.  I pressed 1, of course, the message said thank you, and they hung up. Go figure. We'll see what happens.  I was going to ask the caller to wait, I had something on the stove, and see how long they would wait before they hung up, but they hung up without saying anything.

This number calls our office weekly, sometimes we get lucky and they call multiple times a day..all with the same result: I amswer with my office greeting and they hang up. I called back the number and got the automated do not call list line for this Graven, Austin and Drake. Our office gets these types of calls every day..telemarketers trying to "give away a free trade publication" after we answer a few short questions..which are never short, by the way. It's a way for them to get info on your business, including contact names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, most importantly to them, the type of business you conduct, how many employees are working there..all so they can sell your name or company name to other marketers who can then bother you. Sometimes these dirt bags ask for a specific person in my office and when I tell them they aren't in the office, they quickly jump in with asking if that person has a secretary or assistant who can make decisions for them. I can, but I tell them no and hang up. We already get enough unsolicited "free" junk magazines and copious amounts of sales material from every sort of industry. By the way, if you ask the sales person to remove your name from the list or to stop sending the magazines or that you just aren't interested..they will get even more pushy and hostile. Yeah. That's the way to do business. idiots.

This number repeatedly calls in the am hours and does not leave a message.

Called in but No any messages.

This "company" has been calling on our business phone for a couple of weeks now - always hang up before saying anything.  I called the number today and it said it was "Sylvan" - maybe that Sylvan Learning Company? They just called again (this is the second time today) and asked for my boss.  I told them he was in a meeting.  Never leave a message, never want him to call back.  Very annoying!

Call lab 3-4 times a week.

Really, you think they don't have enough phone calls to answer?  I sure hope they aren't wasting their time answering a phone call you had forwarded to them when someone else is calling for an emergency.

They have been calling (harassing?) me for weeks as well. Today I decided to just call the number back from my caller ID. It was an automated message saying I reached their Do Not Call line and to press 1 if I want to be  removed from their list. I'd suggest this to everyone!

Called them on there local colo sprgs number and got a live person and told them to take me off there call list.

Never leaves a msg on the answering machine and when I do answer the call it is dead air then a hang up.

The number belongs to Graven Austin & Drake, Inc. out of Colorado.  I Googled the company and found another phone number in which someone WILL answer if called. Give this number a call and tell the person to STOP CALLING: (800) 888-6780.

888-826-5108 rand the work line, I missed it. Called it back and a recording said
'thank you for calling gravin austin phone number removal line....
press 1 now to be removed from our calling list'

Pressed 1.... We will see if this works, as this number calls here several times a day.

The calls continue....... Their phone number removal system is a bunch of b/s crap.

Received a no-message-left call.  Called the number which J Man Drews provided above, spoke with a real [English speaking] young lady and requested that my name be removed from their calling lists.

As with Graven, will have to wait and see.  This is such a P.I.T.A. - and I am not referring to animal rights.

I finally answered a call  from this number after ignoring them for a long time.  It was a renewal for "Farm Industry News,"  an agricultural publication.

These people will not stop calling. I have requested to be removed from their list several times. I have reported them to the FCC and am going to file a second complaint. They are calling even more frequently.

Called and did not leave a message.  Returned call and recorded message picks up phone and does not identify caller or reason for call.
