How to report annoying Telemarketing calls.
- C replies to JeanI have used esupport.fcc.gov for my landlines in the past so it should be okay to use it for yours (at the time I disn't have a cell phone, just my landlines).
I also wouldn't just stop at the FCC or the do not call site but try also FTC's own site and ic3.gov as well and see if that might also help. - KwitcherbellyakinThe FTC is having Robocall Summit on October 18th. For more info go to:

- PaybackIf some people don't get calls during the holidays, you can be certain that your callers are wimps hiding here in the US. They are enjoying their holidays and I don't want them to enjoy a holiday or any day of their pathetic life.

- Mary Lou Hall| 1 replyI get annoying calls at least twice a week from an Air Duct Service...I live in a senior residental apartment complex and have no need for that service...they call after 5pm and as I'm not well the calls really bother me. I could not contact them as when I call their number back(1-206 257 7822) I get the recorded messsage: "B241 test successful" I don't know what that means????
How do I stop the calls?? - Nancy26I get calls that simply say "goodbye" when I answer . Then come the messages when I don't answer on the answering machine that say "Day". There is not a valid phone number when I try to dial back. The real phone number appears on the answering machine. I have called to report that I don't want those calls, to no avail. The calls started in April and are still coming. The valid call back number is 1-616-613-2225, however you get a sales pitch and no response to complain. Very maddening.

- Just another JoeThey use a combination of "spoofed" caller IDs and actual "VOIP" portals courtesy of unscrupulous marketing companies who pay individuals for a small spot in their homes and small businesses all over the US. It is in these places where the company provides internet service and a phone line or two to the gateway. Time on these gateways are sold to anyone world-wide who wants to appear "local" to their intended victims (oops, I mean "markets"). Of course they are not going to stop calling. Once on a call list circulated by these thugs, it is sold, and re-sold... the buyers are going to make the calls.
I don't answer unknown or unrecognized numbers. For each unidentified number which doesn't leave a VM, I do a search. If the number comes up as one with lots of complaints, I add it to the contact named "SCAM". Depending on my mood, I assign a ringtone of "silence", or for some cathartic relief, I use a barking dog. - just do it replies to freadgee909 is an area code in San Bernardino/Riverside California....block it or report it.
- AnnoyedSend the calls as a call forward to the States Attorney General's office. Verizon allows selective numbers to be forwarded. Let that office see what it's like to get these calls day and night.
