Harassing Phone Calls: What To Do

801-647-6089

Received a call from this number, apparently its from Utah.

bank of america is the worst company to deal with, rude when you do have someone on the other end.

We have been getting phone calls that the caller always hangs up when anyone answers. I have the number but it comes up as a private name. I did a reverse phone lookup and it says it is a pay phone. Does anyone know if a payphone location can be traced if I have the number?

I hate these calls. why why why??? jobs are tough to find, and i know the person on the other end is just trying to make a living. but dammit these companies were calling my grandmother on a new # who was suffering from alzheimers in a nursing home. for what, i dont know. she (grandma) insisted they were telling her that her daughter had died. she said she asked one caller if thats what he meant...and he said yes. this is disgusting. i guess the caller realized gram didnt want a subscription to whatever he was selling and thought it apropriate to terrify the woman. the phone ultimately was removed due to this individual's deplorable behavior. i wish i knew who it was...

This is an excellent idea! It might cost me a few cents, but hey, whatever it takes...May all of our holidays be happy, and with no harassing phone calls..

I keep getting calls from 604-687-0142 no one leaves a message or says anything when I answer, so I used my call screening, which allows you to block up to 10 unwanted callers from calling. All you do is dial *60 on your phone and follow the prompt. That's my solution.

not that long ago i was laid off work. and well had no money to pay my bills. and barely made it for the rent. one of the bills i had was with CASH CALL. they people are the worst. i explained my situation and let them know i will pay when i get job. and omg. thEsE people. where litterally harrassing me and threatening me. its scarey. they act MAFIA. i kid u not. i was threatened and. had nonstop calls maybe about 5 calls an hour from the same or diferent collectors wanting there money.

SO PLEASE. THIS IS A WARNING. ---CASH CALL---
THEY ARE THE WORST AND THEY WILL HARRASS NONSTOP.

WHAT IS MORE MISSED UP IS. ONCE THEY SEE U DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. THEY WILL LEAVE A MESSAGE WITH A SWEET VOICE. ACTING LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO HELP. AND WHEN U CALL BACK. OMG. AGAIN ITS LIKE A  NIGHTMARE. I SWEAR I HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OTHER BILLS U HAVE. AND WHERE U GET THE MONEY. BUT THEY WANT U TO PAY.

I keep getting random calls from a 1-000 number. I answer and no ones there. It is starting to get really anoying. When I return call it wont connect. Any idea where these callers are coming from? Each time its a new 1-000 number, heres the list.
1-000-8
1-000-528
1-000-518
1-000-507
1-000-526

888-520-7225 keeps calling even though I am on the U.S.A.Do not call list these f--ing ja-k off I think I will report them to U.S.Gov Do Not Call.com all I reported this to AT&T at phone abuse 800-769-4099

If you are getting calls with the caller ID 800-697-1234, the company is Bay Area Credit Service - you'll see that this number is listed on their web site:
http://www.bayareacredit.com/pay/index.htm

The company has an automated call system that does not identify the company or the purpose of the call so you know it's a scam. The message asks you to call them back at 866-515-3445. Do not give them any information.

If they are harrassing you, you can report them to various governmnt agencies - FTC, FCC, etc. The more complaints filed, the more likely Bay Area Credit will be stopped. Please take the time to report them:

is there a way to track blocked ID calls? there are people that call me on friday nights and always say stupid [***]. sometimes they call during school hours, its a big problem for me. if i could get the number i would call back, they probably would be scared i know their number.

I've been gettin repeated calls from 303.785.4060 and there is no one on the other line and they leave no messages.  Make them stop!  They are a telemarketing company calling people on cell phones. Englewood, CO. TrendWest Resorts, CO

Note to ALL women regarding telemarketers or bill collectors:
When someone calls demanding to talk to someone besides myself, I tell them the person they are asking for died recently and we just returned from the cemetery.  Was there something they wished to say at the funeral????

These bill collectors are usually poorly educated foreigners who do not know the laws regarding collections in the U.S.  I had a crap Dell computer which I returned but was not given credit for.  These easterners called me 20 x's/day demanding money I did not owe, so I told them I was writing down their names and having their police arrest them for harrassment, and having them sued in American court, where they would go to prison in their country!  shut them up quick!

Is this still happening to you? and did you find out what (who) it is?  I'm having the same problem.  I have received a couple of DOZEN of these 1-000 calls (but never have answered)...it's always at weird times of the day, sometimes EARLY enough in the morning to wake me up.  I'm sick of it.  Let me know if you found any information, legit? spam?.  Thanks

I just got a call from 1 (000) 507  - someone finally answered and said they work with Sprint and that I qualify for a crappy phone for free.  Yeah right they work for sprint.  Just FYI for everyone it is not worth answering.
