>>> I am on the Do Not Call list and have been for years. Continue to receive Annoying telemarketer calls. Would like of these calls and caller to stop. <<<
So would all of us, but there is a small problem --- the government is shut down.
Maybe you can get the House Republicans to put it on their list of favorite bills to tack onto the debt limit along with their National Parks and Air Traffic Controllers bills.

How about a simple law requiring these calls to be made by a human being and that they have to identify themselves and the organization/business they are calling for ? No more auto dialers - no more sales calls from anonymous businesses claiming to have statistics from the FBI or some other source telling you that you need their services....but never identifying the business making the call. Robo-dialers should be turned back on their inventors so they know what we go through.
The disclosures you want in a live call are already part of the Telemarketing Sales Rule. Also, sales calls are supposed to deliver accurate and useful Caller ID, and recorded sales messages must volunteer a business name and a valid return number. Lack of honest disclosure is a big part of what makes scammer sales callers both illegal and difficult to prosecute.
You're not getting a ban on predictive dialers. The telemarketing industry fought too hard to water down the rules governing their use to ever give them up, since they are seen as a vital tool in cheapening labor cost. The dialers make sense from an efficiency perspective, since so many more people actively resist and ignore sales calls than in prior decades. The main problem I see is abuse of those dialer systems.
For example, the TSR holds sales callers to a thin margin of error regarding call "abandonment", or "dead air" calls. But such incidents are hard to prove and/or not documented by the annoyed called parties. I do keep those records when possible and routinely find both "legitimate" and fraudulent call centers breaking the 03% cap on dud calls.
Even if you could physically destroy, and not merely outlaw, every autodialer on Earth, I'm not convinced you would raise the cost of violation enough to deter bogus sales callers. They would still rely on the cover of spoofing and the stealth of cheap VOIP. Let's not forget the worst call center owners pay miserly wages and create such a hostile environment that many new hires end up working for free once they quit in disgust or are forced out.

I see where others have said to ignore the call and they will stop calling, but I don't know if this caller is a real person. the 30 or 40 I did not answer don't leave message, and they call every minute literally I have the record of it. then there are the 20 or so I answered and said hello, and waited for a voice but no one ever said anything and the second i hung up they called back again. I cant even get any calls from anyone else in the last hour. I am at home with 2 babies and this is my only phone, can anyone tell me how to fix that. I have no clue if i can block a phone number, I have Cricket as my carrier.
How can one of these auto-dialers/predictive dialers continually call the same number over and over again. this is going into the second hour of that call. and I dont hear anyone, and when I try to call the number back it get an immediate busy line what this usually means is it is a nonworking or inbound number. I used to be a call center manager 20 years ago so I do understand the concept but our auto-dialers/predictive dialers never called the same number more than 2 times in a single day. Now explain that one to me.
Today I knew I was being proactive when an Indian telemarketer said 'don't you remember me, I'm Rachel, you sued us 4 years ago." "Rachel " of course refused to provide her company's name [first call was from 510-775-8005 w/ "Oakland CA" on Caller ID] but someone in the US who she sold a lead to got sued and paid a settlement to avoid litigation, as her phrasing reminds me of an Indian male perp calling from the adjacent 925 Area Code who whined that "you sued us.".
Very simple.. these callers do not obey laws period! They think they have the right to call you repeatedly with the hopes you will get angry enough to answer.
You do need to report them.. However, I would suggest that you get a call blocking device or phone.. Amazon has a lot of different ones available for around 60.00, the T-lock Incoming PRO Call Blocker sells for under 60 bucks on Amazon and can block up to 1500 numbers.
I get about 10 calls a night from 800 service 1-866-249-8332. I called the number, someone on tape asks "If you want to get removed give your phone number. I called and they started calling me every 10 minutes. It drives me crazy.

Oh wow, "a cam"? Do you mean the site supports webcams now? Shivers of joy! I can't wait to model my "Phony's Worst Enemy" t-shirt or for Yef to demo his new shill repellents or Tamianth to point it at the dragon in the bedroom closet or Not Michael to show us all 34 ways he is not like Michael.
My eyelids moisten a tad, as I've not read this illiterate and feeble attempt to smear the site founder in many months, by far a longer time than the "three months" the "fresher" claimed to have helped that diabolical Forte build an empire of blackmail. An absolute master of deception, she's even been to court several times over to smite hardworking businessmen who just want a chance to be heard and promote themselves -- mainly by somewhat abusing the site resources and its users, and kinda-sorta claiming "slander" and "libel", and slightly yet directly referring to the woman in charge as a child molester.
The fact that she wins every time is supposed to be vindication of the mission of her work and reinforce the idea that the sincere user base has a solid expectation of privacy. But most importantly, the ones heaving the most rotten produce at their search engine screens -- as unique 800Notes complaints jockey for placement among their own barely legal promotional links -- are shown up as unstable frauds with dangerous motives who cannot stand the suggestion that they might all quit racketeering and get real jobs.
Well, I have to close for now, having indulged this way-off-topic slide into the past on my lunch break. Time to get back to sniffing out who's been torturing my poor Dad, who never learned keyboard skills, with fake PC tech calls. Then I have to work on my latest case against another lawbreaking debt collector which hides behind "peekaboo" phone calls. Along the way I'll be making use of this haven of skullduggery to help me get nearer to the truth. "Ones" I am done, see you on the "cam"!
ROFL.. Wow! I need my hip waders for the male cow matter being spewed here in that post...

I don't know who you are but it truly warms my heart to know that 800notes.com has put such a dent in whatever criminal activity you're involved in that you felt compelled to come here and spew that load of lies at us.

Gee, your use of the English language mirrors that of some of our scammer "friends". You were hired as a fresher - what is that? You state complaints are "against one number". Could it be that number is loaded with scammers, shills, and trolls? Show proof that 800notes/Julia was paid to delete negative reviews. I believe most of the registered members would love to see that!!!
Another one who uses "God" in their tirade. Sad!!!
