How To File a Complaint with FTC

Got a call from 1-207-453-7422 claiming to be a credit card company "Card Services" offering to lower my interest rate.  Called this number back and got a personal answering machine.  Looked it up on whitepages.com and it was registered to Marcella and Michael Pollard in Fairfield Maine.  Also got calls from 1-207-478-0327 and 1-207-402-5637, one each day after the first call. I get recordings when I try to call these numbers back.

Telemarketers may still call me, but I have a gift for making them wish they hadn't. I simply keep them on the phone until they think I'm going to say "yes", then when the opportunity arises, I tell them "Wow, you really need to work on your selling skills" or something worse. Perhaps they'll lose that job then. Who the f*ck cares. Get another job. By the way: IT SEEMS TO WORK.

The federal registry is a fraud and a scam. Why in the world should I have to sign up to not get these annoying, unsolicited calls? Why are those making these calls given more rights than me or you when your eating dinner, playing with your children or at work?

Why not forward all these calls to your local congressman? I bet he can get them stopped easy enough.

If I was Called, I would use Hackers thats {whitehat} of course they will
Make them for get the number real Quick, lots of them out there just waiting for the reason to do fun little hack attacks see.....what u can FIND!!

I have set up my modem to repeatedly   automatic dial there toll free number of a collection agency. they got hundreds of calls per day for a week. They eventually stop calling.

I don't know you and I don't answer without names or numbers or with numbers/no name.I let FTC know about it.whether you are a TELMARKETERS.Or whoever you are.800-566-6128

I keep getting calls on my private cell number, which is also out of the US. I have read about filing a complaint but why is it that they make the filing so difficult for us??  We are the ones being harassed!!
These numbers are constantly calling but I will not answer my phone.
310-241-0012, 310-241-2909, 310-241-0648, 310-241-0165, 310-370-0917,All of these area codes are from LA. California  954-724-9490 (this is a new area code from Tampa, FL)
These scammers really need to stop.

Wow, Fed-Up.  I would have never thought of that.  I was just getting ready to call them back and ask to be put on thier internal do not call list, but now I will wait for them to call me back ( which I know they will).  Thanks.

It is my understanding that you need to reregister every year.

Next time a telemarketer calls you, ask for their home phone number and address. Ask for their full name, and the type of credit card they use. Ask do they have any kids, and try to sell them a car for about $50,000, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, they will think your nuts.

Is that legal?  I would like to do the same thing but I fear it might be intrepreted by a lawyer as "harassment" of the person that started the harassing calls?  If we could do that with EVERY unsolicited call, I believe the number of them would drop dramatically.  First of all, their lines would be kept so busy they COULD NOT use them to make any calls!

I wonder if you all ever received weird text message that are very NASTY, DISGUSTING sent to your cell phone from an international number (12 digits)? I not only have receiving weird telephone calls but also receiving weird and sickening text to my cell phone too, the number sent to me was +393399945135. I do not know what to do!! if you know or know anyone having this trouble like me please share and help!! Thank you very much in advance!I think the area code 39 is from Italy.

No Pup!
A marketing trick is to call the number first to see if it’s a live number. This is usually not done by a person and that’s why no one says anything. You may get this type of call a few times before a live person calls. If it says unknown caller hit the * button a few time and hang up or do not answer at all.

I keep getting calls from a company that calls itself Mountain Area Communications and I tell them each time to stop calling me and to take me off the list.  Not only do they call me again but they call me from different numbers also all starting with the same first 6 numbers. 423-317-8219, 423-317-0554, and 423-317-9129.  How do I get this to stop and I'm even on the do not call list. This is very annoying!!
