   I have been getting calls from them, and when I try to call back it is always busy. Will someone help me find out who it is?

2. Whitney said on January 24th, 2006:

   I have had 3 calls today from 866-823-6832

3. Whitney said on January 24th, 2006:

   I call this number back also and it is busy everytime.

4. cindy said on January 24th, 2006:

   I have called this number back several times, it was busy every time except one where it rang and rang then a message picked up and said “——– you will be contacted” Pretty weird

5. Tanis said on January 25th, 2006:

   I am getting the 866-737-3913 coming in on a cell phone…I am over it and I do not know who it belongs to either. I won’t take it and I won’t call it back..I use cingular.

6. David said on January 25th, 2006:

   Thank you so much for posting this info…I too have been getting numerous calls from that 866 number on my emergency cell line. I am going to call my provider (T-Mobil) and see if I can have it blocked, or perhaps traced and reported. I will let you know of the outcome.

7. Stan said on January 25th, 2006:

   I live in Miami, however, I’m using my cell for business needs that starts as 917. I received 4 calls during 3 days — 3 from 8668236832 and one from 866 7373913. I assume something with New York cellular network. I’m using AT&A/Cingular.

8. Larry Gilbert said on January 25th, 2006:

   I got a couple of calls today from that 866-737 number myself, on a NET10 phone. Google’s only result for that number is your page. The only big company to which I can recall ever giving my cell phone number is Best Buy.

9. Larry Gilbert said on January 25th, 2006:

   Or was it Office Depot? Gahhh.

10. Aaron said on January 25th, 2006:

    Yeah. the 866-737-3913 # just called me on my HOME PHONE and asked for me. I said “this is”, he kept saying hello, then hung up. Called back to complain - busy.

11. Aaron said on January 25th, 2006:

    So its 915 pm here. And this 8667373913 number called back for the 3rd time today. Apparently it is from “U.M.A.” out of Vegas. And I was “selected to win the vaction of my lifetime”. I asked him to to ake me off his list because they were calling all day hanging up on me. He says, “Take you off the what…?” Hang up again. Now that I have the company name, I plan to file harrassment charges with the better business bureau.

12. Andre said on January 25th, 2006:

    I was getting the same type of calls on my Cingular phone. I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or not, but one week after adding my number to the Do-Not-Call List I never recieved another single telemarketing call.

13. Kendra said on January 25th, 2006:

    I have gotten four calls on my Verizon cell today from 8663733913. Every time I answered there was no one there. Finally, the last time they called I picked up and did not say anything. The person on the other end then said, “Hello, is Tanya there,” which is not me. I started to tell her that she had the wrong number and to stop calling, and she hung up on me mid sentence. I plan to file a complaint with the FTC.

14. Aaron said on January 26th, 2006:

    ANDRE:
    I just put my claim in for do not call list. Apparently it does not begin omitting your # for 1 month (31 days). its kind of funny how everything else in our country revolves around 28 day schedules, but when you or I want to get off of a telemarketing list, its 31 days (max days/month).

    IM MOVING TO CANADA AND IM ONLY GOING TO USE PAYPHONES

15. Aaron said on January 26th, 2006:

    Heres a good one, NOW I am receiving calls from some ass in Texas that likes to promote “mail order brides” from South America. As beautiful as S.A. Women are, Im not in to breaking the law. 281-481-0036

    Do a google search on that # just for your own amusement

16. Janet said on January 26th, 2006:

    I recieved 3 calls on my Virgin Mobile cell yesterday from the number 866-737-3913. I missed them everytime, and refuse to call back anyone that calls me and doesnt leave a message so I havn’t called to see who it was.

17. Cathy Butts said on January 26th, 2006:

    I too get these calls. The number I get is 877-258-0758. I now have it stored in my cell phone as do not anser. When I call it back it’s always busy. I was getting them at least 3 times a day.

18. Cathy Butts said on January 26th, 2006:

    I forgot to tell you…I went to this site and registered my cell phone on here. http://www.donotcall.gov

19. Sabrina Hawkins said on January 26th, 2006:

    I have gotten numbers from
    866-737-3913
    866-823-6832
    877-258-0758

    The 877 number is calling me about four times a day now. Always busy when I call back.

20. Sarah said on January 26th, 2006:

    I too received 3 calls today for the first time from the 877-258-0758 no. I tried calling back but it was busy. The one time I got through and i received a messege saying something “…services….you will be contacted”. This is very annoying and distracting. Its one thing for telemarketers to contact you at home but cell phones…!!!!

21. Leah said on January 26th, 2006:

    Yeah the calls are really weird… after the fourth or fifth call in the past two days i finally looked up the number on google… I was suprised to not only find that number, but the other number that had called me a few times as well… these numbers are 877-258-0758 and 866-737-3913 if anyone knows how to get these numbers to stop calling someone could email me please?

22. Annoyed said on January 27th, 2006:

    I just started receiving calls from 866-737-3913 on my cell as well, two of them within the last hour, didn’t answer though. I decided to do a search for the number and this is what I came up with.

23. munna said on January 27th, 2006:

    same here, i got the call from 866-737-3913, when i lift the phone no one responded. I called back thinking some serious issue or so, its been always busy. I am using verizon. Thanks for u people coz this is the only site i found when i googled.

24. shamon said on January 27th, 2006:

    I received three calls this week from 866-823-6832 and the 866-737-3913. Thanks for NY Times article. I’m shocked though because it didn’t mention Sprint since I’m with them. It also didn’t provide any way of complaining to the authorities about this. I could only find your site by typing in the numbers in Google. Good look out.

25. Something's fishy said on January 27th, 2006:

    Hey, with all the wire tapping and shit going on these days, I got a call from the 866-737-3913 twice today and just figured that someone was screwing with me. All of this stuff is a conspiracy. They don’t want you to have anything of your own. Interesting how the government is listening to everything and allows other people who you don’t know to sell your information, what do you think they are doing with it. They don’t care, sure, don’t call list, FTC…. They will find you no matter what. So disappointing to listen to all of us in this together. Vote for the right people get these money grubbing ass holes out of the government. They own all of us, all of our information, and know EVERYTHING about us. I guess I will see if they call again, who cares, I will call Cingular too. The government, I won’t contact them, they don’t care about my privacy or who is making money off of it.

26. I HATE SURVEYS said on January 28th, 2006:

    I’m glad I found this site. You guys helped me out big time. The one thing I still don’t get is how they got my cell phone number! I’ve only had the thing for a little less than a year now, and only my family and few friends know the number. The first time I got the call some idiot was trying to sell me on “the vacation of a lifetime” and a chance to win 25K in cash along with a sweet ride. It sounded good to me until the guy said one word: survey. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I fuckin hate surveys!! They’re worthless and a waste of time (yes I know that was redundant). After he said survey I said no way, I don’t do surveys. And then he tries to make me do it anyway by asking me the questions anyway. At that point I told him “I said I don’t do surveys. What part of no do you not understand?” and I hung up. I swear, people just don’t respect other people’s privacy anymore! This is just pathetic! It’s getting to where you can’t leave your house without being bombarded by some idiot trying to pull this shit on you! While we’re all trying to teach our kids to respect each other’s privacy, there’s the idiots of the world messing up what we’re teaching our kids!

27. What is going on... said on January 30th, 2006:

    How weird? Never in a million years would I expect to type this number into google and you all are getting the same exact phone number on your cell as me, what is going on? I don’t answer these calls b/c it costs me minutes! Do you think it is the cell phone company? One website said the phone number: 877.729.3970 belonged to drugbuyers.com. Weird!! Stop calling us!

28. i kinda feel stupid right now... said on January 31st, 2006:

    I was called by the 877-729-3970 number and found no answer when i said hello… twice. Later i recieved a blocked id call.. it was the U.M.A. they tried to sell me magazines and give me free stuff… they just kept talking and before i knew it they said they were charging my checking accout for $62.40 every month for 16 months.. (i later did the math… $1000.00) right after, i called and cancelled and reordered a new debit card… those creeps arn’t getting my money! I guess they were in Las Vegas… and i was there for my birthday so i thought maybe its not a scam or something… it was weird. they even knew my address.. and i moved only a month ago.. so it had to be pretty recent. All i can think of is my taxes online at turbotax.com… no one else knows my current adress… im creaped out and i hope they stop calling… now that they think they have my money, but i have great trust in my bank (washington mutual) they knew just what to do.. so if your reading this and you have already told them yes.. i hope you have a good bank
    ~Kinda stupid

29. i kinda feel stupid right now... said on January 31st, 2006:

    oh.. by the way.. i have Sprint

30. Chris said on February 1st, 2006:

    Just googled 866-823-6832 to find out who was trying to call me the past two days and this post showed up. Weird.

31. Beverly Voss said on February 1st, 2006:

    Hello! I, too, have been getting at least 3 calls a day from this 866-737-3913 number. When I answer, no one says anything. And when I call back, the line is busy! If anyone fingures out who this number belongs to or how to block the call (it comes up on my Verizon cell phone), could you please post some info here? This is so annoying. Thank you!!

32. Jo said on February 1st, 2006:

    wow, so I am not the only one out there receiving calls from 866-737-3913. As a general rule I do not answer calls who I can not identify right away and always wait for the message maching to pick up, they have not left a message so they keep calling I have had their ‘missed calls’ at least 6 times during the last 24 hours.
    I use sprint

33. Nesh said on February 1st, 2006:

    I just got this call twice on my Cingular cell phone (866-737-3913). I just signed up for the Do Not Call registry….hopefully that works!

34. erin said on February 2nd, 2006:

    I just recieved these calls tonight.. 3 in a 2 hour time spand… i too called it back and it was busy.. i use tmobile. I am getting tired of this crap!

35. Dianka Diaby said on February 2nd, 2006:

    I use sprint. I also missed a few of those calls..When I finally took one..The guy said that I ” have been chosen for a dream of a lifetime” How? I asked.. I didnt buy a lottery ticket.. ! So he said something about my visa card being chosen for free. Wait a minute, did he just say my “visa card”? How the hell did he know that? Then he asked me these wierd survey questions like: my age range, my gender, if visa or mastercard serve me best? Definately very wierd..I am on my way to cancel my card right now..

36. Joette said on February 2nd, 2006:

    For the last week I have been recieving calls from the 877-258-0758. Just for the heck of it I googled it.. & up this came. I have sprint and am in PA. It is very frustrasting, and when i try to return the call it is always busy… I just hope the other numbers dont start calling next. I have also noticed that I am getting a ridulous amount of Unknown calls since this number starting calling… If its unknown or i dont know the number I tend to not answer, if they leave a message I will all them back.

37. Aly said on February 2nd, 2006:

    I just received are call from 877-258-0758 today, too, while I was at school this morning. I tried tracing the call on whitepages.com but nothing came up and when I tried calling the number, it was busy, too. So far I’ve only received one call, and hopefully it will stay that way. This is really weird how we’re all getting these calls.

    I use Verizon and I reside in PA…. hmm, those are some evil, evil people.

38. chip said on February 3rd, 2006:

    i have recieved several calls from a few of these numbers in the last couple days with hangups if i answer

39. chip said on February 3rd, 2006:

    p.s. - on my vonage phone line

40. Rhonda said on February 6th, 2006:

    Same here. Survey calls, strange toll free numbers. I signed up to do surveys on the internet right before this all started so must be my fault, but did NOT ask for them to call me on my cell phone. Nextel/Nevada the number for today was 877/729-3970. Searched and found all of you!

41. Theresa said on February 7th, 2006:

    yeah, I have gotten those weird calls too, and i too, had registered for the “do not call list”. so not cool! i have not received them in a week, maybe they gave up? one can only hope! ha ha

42. Donna said on February 8th, 2006:

    I have been getting calls all day from 866-737-3913 on my cell all day. I’ve missed 6 calls from them today, and they just now called me (at 8:30 p.m.!!), but when I answered, they just hung up. I have an Ntelos phone but it’s not really a big company like Sprint and Cingular. But I saw someone before said something about turbotax, that’s where I did my taxes too. maybe they’re giving out the numbers?

43. Blue Berry said on February 9th, 2006:

    I received too a call from 877-258-0758.
    On calling back always get an engaged tone

44. Blue Berry said on February 10th, 2006:

    I again got two calls from 877-258-0758.
    One on 9th feb 6:30 PM and otehr at 9:30 PM

45. Mr Hulk said on February 10th, 2006:

    I’ve gotten a call from 866-737-3913 and 877-258-0758, each time i call back the line is busy.

46. Blue Berry said on February 10th, 2006:

    I got a call from 866-737-3913 twice.
    Once I got a missed one. The next time I could actually pick it up. There was a guy who was calling from Las Vegas something. Regarding card or something. I just told him not to call next time

47. tamara said on February 10th, 2006:

    I got calls from
    1 866 737 3913 and 1 877 258 0758 several times over the past two days. By doing a google, I pretty much found the same info as you guys did: this is most likey scam artists from UMA and they are crooks. I use cingular and there is no way to block phone numbers like on the land line, but I did register my cell number with the do not call list today. I still get telemarketers calling my land line and it was registered last year on the do not call list. I can’t block them or *69 them because they are “unavailable” on the caller id. You can’t even catch these sneaky crooks when they blatantly break the law.

48. Rich Williams said on February 13th, 2006:

    I Got a call today from 877-729-3970
    the first call came around 11:00 am. i called back and got the busy signal and then got through and got the message that i would be contacted. it was almost 3 pm est when the 2nd call from the same number came. The only thing i can tell you is that they knew my name… Then we got dissconected.

49. Rich Williams said on February 13th, 2006:

    I got another call from 877-729-3970
    They told be i have been selected to be entered in a dream vaction. and then Wanted to know if i had a Visa/Mc or Discover card when i told him no. he said
    oh then you must have a new visa check card. agian i told him no and his finaly responce was well good luck anyways.

    So becareful folks.

50. raj said on February 14th, 2006:

    call from 866-823-6832 and i am out on the west coast … with T-mobile???

51. B said on February 14th, 2006:

    ALSO RECEIVING CALLS FROM 1866-823-6832 two so far in 1 day, not sure how they got my number I also did not pick the phone up.

52. B said on February 14th, 2006:

    FOUND ON ANOTHER SITE

    “I’m posting all the information I have on the devil company United Marketing Association. Their supposed address is:

    United Marketing Association
    Address:
    P.O. Box 12057
    Las Vegas Nevada 89121
    U.S.A.
    Phone Number:

    Owner of the P O Box:

    ROBERT MICHAEL HORNF
    MILLENIUM CORPORATE SERVICES,
    3914 SEATON PLACE LAS VEGAS

    The phone numbers they use for these heinous calls are:

    866-737-3913
    877-258-0758
    888 669-8868
    727 450-0346

    Make sure you register with the Do Not Call Registry

    File complaints and violations of the registry here

    The Better Business Bureau has a website here, and UMA is sending people to the BBB’s website as their own. Quite odd.

    I found out that Presbyterian Hospital sold my list to the above company under the pretense of being a non-profit agency and immune to the Do Not Call regulation. My original Post is here with all the comments that led me to making this post.”

53. S said on February 16th, 2006:

    I’ve also been getting calls from 866-737-3913 and 866-823-6832 for the last 2 days on my Spring mobile, averaging about 3x a day. I never picked up. My recent activities requiring giving my # is some online shopping at Bluefly and Yoox. Think I also submitted my # at everyfreegift.com without confirming registration (decided against it). I submitted my # on the do not call list and plan to just not pick up when the number calls.

54. S said on February 16th, 2006:

    So, apparently UMA in Las Vegas is actually former “Telesolutions” in Canada… here are former employee comments:

55. Alex said on February 16th, 2006:

    I’eve been getting calls from 3 of the 4 numbers on my cell phone. The one time I aswered they said I was in the running for a sweepstakes. They asked if I like visa, mastercard, discover, or american express best. They also said I would recieve a diamond watch and three magazines free if I bought one. I said no and then they suggested other magazines. I said the cost of the magazine is the same as the cell phone minutes they are wasting of mine. They then hung up. When I try calling the # back, I too get a busy signal.

56. J Hova said on February 17th, 2006:

    877 258 0758 just decides to randomly call my cell and I try and call back and just a busy signal…My area code is 253 in Seattle

57. B said on February 17th, 2006:

    I pick up every chance I get with these harrassing calls. I’ve been on the DO NOT CALL registry for a year and still get approximately 5-12 calls EVERY DAY. Some have come on Sat. morning at 7 a.m. and some have come on Sunday evening at 9 p.m.. I also get them on my cell phone. These intrusions to our privacy shpould be illegal. About a week ago I bought myself one of the loudest whistles I could find. I pick up and say heelo. As soon as they start to ask for whoever they want to speak to, usually in a foriegn voice, I blow that whistle as loud and long as I possibly can. Before that, I would ask them to hold, lay the phone down and go about my business. Maybe if enough people would fight back. It just seems that ignoring the calls doesn’t help. I’ve tried that and months later they are still calling.

58. Kelly said on February 17th, 2006:

    I am getting so sick of these phone calls. Mine keeps coming from 877-258-0758. It wouldn’t be AS frustrating if they would say something. Instead they hang up and call back. I know it’s the same people calling because once they hang up it is only a matter of seconds before the “unknown name unknown number” starts ringing. It seems like they get paid by the “connection” and not the sale. I have three small children, I don’t have time chasing down the phone to have it slammed down when I answer, or to sit and listen to silence. Thank goodness I haven’t had the problem on my cell phone yet. That will piss me off. Be sure to post if any of you find a solution to this annoying problem.

59. David Fisher said on February 18th, 2006:

    I have Cingular Wireless out of Michigan and keep getting about 3 calls per day at various times from the 877-258-0758 number. Getting rather annoying when i am at work, working like an American that has PRIORITIES in life! In addition to contacting my attorney, I will be forwarding a complaint to whomever i have to. If this keeps up, my attorney will be contacting the company responsible!!!!!

60. Kim said on February 18th, 2006:

    I get 6-7 calls a day from the 877-258-0758 number, at all hours of the day, which basically fills my answering machine with hang-up messages. I managed to get through to the number by repeatedly hitting redial, only to get an answering machine after 6 rings saying “You have reached Customer Service, you will be called back in” and then a hang-up. I thought I had disconnected myself, so I did it again. Same results, and this time I stood stock still in case I had “lost signal” the first time. This is extremely annoying. If I do happen to answer the phone, the person on the other end says nothing, then hangs up. I was beginning to get paranoid that someone was trying to figure out my patterns so they could come in and take my stuff when I wasn’t home… (Although they would probably discover that all the dog bites would make it seriously not worth their while..LOL) Thank you “B” for tracking down the information on UMI, now maybe I can start to fight back!

61. Fancy said on February 18th, 2006:

    I too am getting calls from 877.258.0758 I have had 4 calls in the past 24 hours. Who are these people? Does anyone know?

62. Rihanna said on February 20th, 2006:

    I received a call from 877-729-3970 and when I picked up no one answered and the the call was ended. I called back and heard a voice mail that said “You have reached customer service, you WILL be contacted.” Thats really sick.

63. Alyssa said on February 20th, 2006:

    Oh my gosh, yeah the people from Canada called me tonight from 877-729-3970. The guy on there apparently has my Visa check card information, and now I don’t know what to do. Can you cancel your debit cards?? I really think I should, and like get a new one or something. I really hate those people…when I tried calling them back the line was busy. My friend said that they call you from canada and charge you long distance.

64. David Fisher said on February 20th, 2006:

    Once again, i have had the 877 numbers come across my cell phone. This time though, the number was different. It was not the usual 877-258-0758 number. This time it was 877-729-3970. I am really getting sick of this bullcrap!!!
    Does anyone have any information as to who we can contact about this ongoing problem so many of us are dealing with?? Thanks for any available help!!!

    I have contacted Time customer service (since there office is right accross the street from mine) They stated they have been recieving phone calls from people who have been receiving these calls. I provided them with information from this site. They plan on pursuing this company.

    i live in michigan, and every day i get 3 or 4 calls on my cell phone from unknown number

    I just started getting the calls last week and seeing as i use my phone while i work i told em no this is DHL and hung up, well they still call back and i ignored over the last couple of days but today i picked up and started talking dirty to the woman lol. She didnt like it and hung up. I think i’ll have more fun like this for a few days

72. Lisa said on February 21st, 2006:

    I just started recieving calls today from 877-729-3970. They called 3 times. When I call back, its busy. I live in NY and they’re calling my home phone. I would agree that talking nasty to these people will make them hang up. I don’t mind telemarketers…as long as they stop calling when I tell them to. But 3 times? Get a life.

73. Dave said on February 22nd, 2006:

    I got some shareware for free that is called “phonetray”. It zaps telemarketer calls! So awesome. I got the call from 866-737-3913 today after my kid was on some kids website. I later found out she ordered some free books. I was pissed when a grown man was calling for a 10 year old!!!!

74. Aubrey Phillips said on February 22nd, 2006:

    I have recieved these calls for about a week now. I am getting irritated. I thought my boyfriend called someone from my phone once and they called my phone trying to reach him but hung up when I answered. My cell phone is from t mobile.

    I did a very STUPID thing the other day… and now I’m paying for it. I suspect that my response to a pop-up from FREEGIFT.COM while downloading the latest realplayer is responsible for my demise. I actually entered my office phone number when I “responded” for my “Free Gift” (a sony playstation) and now my info is plastered throughout the world… I started getting these 866 calls the day after I commited the ultimate sin… beware of FREEGIFT.COM… BTW, I also have now registered with http://www.donotcall.gov to try and “unplug” myself from the insanity.

78. Ms. Apple (elem. teacher) said on February 23rd, 2006:

    I am also receiving the phone calls two times a day for the past three days. I am sick and tired of it. So I try to call back to find out who’s calling, yeah it’s busy! I, like everyone else, pay way too much money per month to keep my cell phone running. What can we do to stop this nonsense?

79. oscar said on February 24th, 2006:

    i got these phone calls too, 8667373913, a couple of times today and yesterday.. picked up today, but the signal was bad.

    I heard of cases of wierd numbers that if you pick up, they’ll let you pay a big amount of money, don’t know about this strange number.. So i won’t answer it next time.

80. oscar said on February 24th, 2006:

    Forgot to say: i called back several times, and it actually got through once, it was answered by machine, and said: “You’ve reached customer service, you will be contacted. ” But i havn’t gotten anything back yet, and it didn’t say what customer service was that…

    this call came to me and they spoke in a low tone like they was trying to be sneaky or something when talking to my father in law who answered the phone. the man on the phone would not leave a message but this call came in on a landline to my home any info on this number would be helpfull so i can stop this caller.

    what is the number or website of the “do not call list”?

85. Jonathan said on February 24th, 2006:

    Today is day #1 that I began receiving calls from 866-737-3913. I missed all of them, until they called at 9:06 p.m. I answered.

    The guy asks for two people who don’t live here. I twice tell him he’s got the wrong number, and begins his sales spiel about how this number was entered into a drawing for a Las Vegas vacation.

    I asked him if he was in Vegas, and he said “Yes, sir!” I said, “Are you aware that it is a violation of federal law (the Telemarketing Sales Rule of 1995) to call after 9:00 p.m. in the target time zone?” He asked, in a smart #ss tone, “Oh yeah? Where is that the law?” I replied “Uh, in the U.S.!” He retorted: “Yeah? Well this call is coming from CANADA!”

    At this point, I had the little b#stard dead to rights. I said “You just told me that you were in Las Vegas? Vegas is in Canada? You’re trying to get me into a vacation in Las Vegas, Canada?” He hung up. Reading everything else here, I’m guessing this company will be calling back.

    I filed a complaint with the FTC for him calling after 9:00 p.m. I also registered with the Do-Not-Call list. What can I or any of us DO to stop these #ssholes from doing this to us? Thank you!

    STONE….. I sent a message to that Anne Dean lady and asked her if she was affiliated with United Marketing Assn. She replied that she was NOT affiliated with the company and that U.M.A. was using her address and phone number and that people were messaging her about it. I have not, however, been receiving any more calls!!! (Now i prolly just jinxed myself) LOL

87. Katie said on February 26th, 2006:

    I have recently been getting calls from two different numbers:

    866 654 9724
    866 239 2497
    (notice the last 4 digits of both of these are the same just in a different order…strange)

    I haven’t been able to find anything on either of these numbers. When I call the first number back i get a busy signal, every time. And when I call the second number back it says the number is not in service.

    Has anyone been getting any calls from these numbers?

88. Jennifer said on February 28th, 2006:

    in addition to the 1-866-737-3913 there is also a 1-877-729-3974. When these numbers are called back, they are either busy or a recording picks up saying that “you have reached customer service and you will be called” then it cuts off. This is so freaking annoying. These psychos call in the middle of the night and several times during the day. Anyone with any idea how to stop this, please let us all know!

89. Gary said on March 1st, 2006:

    I have been getting calls from these two numbers for the last 2 weeks

    866-737-3913

    I get the calls on my Vonage phone not my cell phone

90. Sherilyn said on March 1st, 2006:

    i called Anne Dean as listed above, and she is just another victim of this UMA scam. They are giving her home addresss, po box and telephone numbers out. She is an attorney fro nevada who was very helpful to me. I told her about Robert Michale Honrf and she said she does not have any clients by that name nor does she represent suncoast or UMA, however she does have a client that is robert Horne, and she is not investigating him further. my attorney contacted her this mornign adn she is legit…she got casught up in the same scam as us only worse

91. Sherilyn said on March 1st, 2006:

    also- anne deans wwebsite is- incorporatenow.com and seems to be for real as well my attorney is attempting to get a suit together for these people as they have ALL of my credit card information as well as my social and my both of my parents socials….this is sooo messed up when i got the last phone call i screamed at the guy and he got his supervisor, when i asked the supervisor where he got my information from he replied “that is confidential” i said so is my credit card info but u have no problem broadcasting that to the world. then he hung up on me..i cant wait for them to call back now cuz ohhh man are they in for it

    is there a way to block them from calling you?

    This phone # 866-737-3919 is pissing me off. I’ve bin getting these call from like 10am-9:30pm EST.

    me too! 1-866-737-3913 this number has been calling me then hanging up. Could it be that someone I know works at that number and they’re just fooling around and hanging up?

96. Tricia Lynn said on March 3rd, 2006:

    starting today i got called by 866-737-3913 It started at 1:21 PM and then they called about 6 times all within an hour. i tried to call it back and it says the # has been disconnected. i just registered with the DONOTCALL list. I hope they get what they deserve.

97. Geoluis said on March 3rd, 2006:

    I got it tonight at 7:29 (Fri.) at my home in Los Angeles. It went to my answering machine, and a girls voice aid “hello”, then a pause, then hung up. I called it from another line at 8:00 and it said it was disconnected. I once remember a few “collect” call services would come up on caller I.D. as a toll free number. is that possible? Although even if that were the case I don’t think any collect calls can go ta a cell(yet), right? Or can you call cell phones, collect (maybe from certain services?)?

98. David Fisher said on March 4th, 2006:

    Well, it appears as though they have stopped calling my cell. THANK GOD! Maybe something i did made them stop doing it, who knows tho! LOL

99. Chen said on March 4th, 2006:

    I also got three calls from 866-737-3913. I did not get the phone calls. When I called back, it always said that the numebr was no longer existed. Please let me know how to block those calls. Thanks a lot.

100. Erica said on March 4th, 2006:

     I’ve gotten 3 calls from 866-737-3913 on my cell in the past 2 days. I never get the call though. I’ll see how long it goes on and update this bulletin later.

101. Erica said on March 4th, 2006:

     Okay, so heres the deal, I got another call, and it was a telemarketer telling me that I was in the drawing for some kind of sweepstakes, i would have to pay 3 dollars for 4 magazines. So unless you want some magazines, just tell them that you rather not participate as soon as possible. its a waste of time.

102. Nichole said on March 6th, 2006:

     I have also been getting the calls from all of the numbers listed. I answer my phone quickly and there is only dead air, no one says anything and then the line custs off. On trying to call back the lines are busy. Does any one know how to stop them?

103. Dana Caldwell said on March 7th, 2006:

     I also received a phone call saying I was in a drawing for money and prizes. But the catch was I had to give my credit card number but I don’t have one. They were willing to take my ATM/Debit card instead.I told them NO and hung up. I think it takes a pretty low life — to do something like this.There are thousands of elderly people we they catch everyday with this sort of scam.These people need to get a life and a JOB. I work like a damn dog for what I’ve got and for someone like this to try and take a dime of it, is pretty sorry.

104. Laticia VanStechelman said on March 7th, 2006:

     Mine is from 877-729-3974 and has been happening for about a week now… Same as everyone else no one speaks when I answer and I called the number and in a rude tone a automated message said:
     Customer Service we will call you back and hung up on me…. I think that is really weird??

105. denobravo said on March 8th, 2006:

     I just got a call from 866-737-3913. Has anyone identified them 100% or still guesing?

106. Laurel said on March 8th, 2006:

     Anne Dean lied to you guys. She does represent Robert Hornf and is probably part of this scam.

107. Robert said on March 8th, 2006:

     The numbers I am getting are 866-243-4357 and 866-737-3913. Just one day after I clicked on a popup ad for a free computer (spam/spyware). I put the number to my backup cell phone which stays off most of the time, I never receive calls on this phone just make them. It just happened to be on today.

108. Amanda said on March 8th, 2006:

     HOLY CRAP! I am honestly sick to my stomach right now! A few days ago these phone calls started on my cell phone! (Only had the thing for 3 months!) I googled it to see what happened and found this site! I can’t believe how many of us are in this crapfest together! Anyone know ANYTHING we can do to find out who they are and stop them!?!

     The numbers calling me are:

     877-729-3974
     866-737-3913

     When I call the first I get a busy signal. I got through ONCE yesterday and the weird voice said “You will be contacted” Seriously this is FREAKING ME OUT!!! Once when I answered I said nothing. They asked for Amanda and I hung up scared that they know my name! When I call the second number (the 877 number called last week until about Monday then this 866 on started) I get a message saying “The toll free number you are calling has been disconnected, no other information is available for this number”

     I got at least 4 calls today! I’ve probably gotten 2-3 every day for at least a week now. Seriously, these people have to be stopped! I don’t even know how they got my number!!!

     I registered on the Do Not Call website (thanks to those that posted it!). I tried to link to the NYTimes article but it’s not there…can anyone fill me in on what it says?

     I’m honestly just so shocked that this isn’t just me! That it’s happening to so many people right now! SICK!

110. Cody said on March 8th, 2006:

     I received two calls from 866-737-3913 today. Upon call back it said the line was disconnected. This seems to happen about once a month for about a week at a time. If anyone can guide me as to how I go about stopping this, I would apreciate it.

111. Elaina said on March 8th, 2006:

     I also just today got 2 calls from the 866-737-3913 number. The first time i wasnt near my phone to answer and there was no message then the second time i answered and they hung up. Its really kind of annoying, if there is anyone i can talk to, to make these calls stop i would apprieciate it if someone could fill me in. I have a Nextel cell phone that i have been recieving the calls on if that helps.

112. steve said on March 9th, 2006:

     I too have been receiving these calls from 877-729-3974 and 866-737-3913. If anyone has any info to get to the bottom of this please post. I’m with verizon.

113. Elaina said on March 9th, 2006:

     I just got a new call on my nextel, i didnt answer it but im guessing its another one of these calls and its from a new number. The number is 877-259-0765 and its quite simmilar to another number i saw on this site

114. Sam said on March 9th, 2006:

     Okay. Another woman heard from. I got the calls from 877-259-0765 and 866-737-3913 and another number I deleted last night because I just thought it was a random thing. Now that I’ve found this site, I’m guessing it was not so random.

     I’m headed to the “Do Not Call Site” now. Thanks to all who posted info. If any other info becomes available, I’d love to know.

     These calls have been coming to my home number, which is unlisted because it’s through Cablevision. At first I thought it was my crazy ex-husband doing something, well, crazy. So I’m actually a little relieved to hear that all of you are experiencing this as well! :>)

     Good luck to all and, once again, thank you.

115. Chris Baker said on March 10th, 2006:

     Anybody consider that these numbers are set up by the GOVERNMENT to call our cell phones, making us go to the Do Not Call List and pay our money to block them?

     This is, essentially, yet another illegal US Goverment tax on unsuspecting people. Calling the FCC to complain isn’t going to get you anywhere.

116. Rich Williams said on March 10th, 2006:

     I have post 48 and 49 glad to say sence telling them i do not have any credit cards and regeristering with the do not call list.
     I have not received anymore phone calls. so maybe telling them you do not have any credit cards is the smartest way to get them to stop calling. who knows

     I have rcvd a call from 877-729-3974 and I picked up and they said This is _____from the uma las vegas and you have been entered in the dreamscapes sweepstakes which is offered to the customers of visa mastercard discover and american express do you have any of these. I replied no (which was the truth). They said ok how about a debit card with the visa or mastercard logo. i replied no (which was a lie) he then said thank you and hung up. Guess I missed out on my dreamescapes whatever. obviously a scam.

122. jessica said on March 15th, 2006:

     I just got a call from 866-737-3913. When I answered they asked for me and I said “this is she”. Then they went on saying that their name was Patrick and that they were the supervisor calling me back from UMA enterprises out of Las Vegas. After that they hung up. This concerned me since I’m currently looking for a job so I searched the number that came up on my cell phone through google and found this website. Looks like I’ll be expecting more calls. Wonderful!

123. karl said on March 15th, 2006:

     Yesterday, 14 Mar 2006, 877-729-3974 called my qwest (sprint network) cell and gave the same Las Vegas B.S. I think they called it “Dream Come True Sweepstakes” anyway, today I have had two calls from an “Unavailable” number. I missed the first time, but the second time, as soon as I mentioned cell phone, they disconnected.

124. David said on March 15th, 2006:

     I was just called by this number as others have been1-866-737-3913 . Very Strange

     Just got a call from 727-450-0346, one of the notorious numbers. I wish I could see squirrels attack them.

126. Amy said on March 16th, 2006:

     I have been receiving calls from the 866-737-3913 number and when I called it back to tell them to leave me alone an automated(or a phony recording) said that the number I had just dialed was out-of-service(rather strange since it had just called me twice that day), also after the female drone voice said it was out-of-order it was repeated in French!!! Very weird.

127. Amy said on March 16th, 2006:

     I forgot to mention that the calls have been coming to my landline, which I pay to be unlisted/unpublished (ha ha) and not my cell.
     To answer some of the questions about blocking, it seems these numbers cannot be blocked, I tried. The telephone company is in bed with the scammers as far as I’m concerned since they created loopholes in the phone blocking service that allows telemarketers to call all hours of the day and night while giving their customers a false sense of security when signing up for Call Return, Call Blocking, etc.
     It makes sense that the calls could be coming from Canada since the out-of-service recording was in French.
     Has anybody found a legit phone number for these jokers? Perhaps if all of us called them they’d be as annoyed as we are.
     Let’s start a movement!

128. sarah said on March 17th, 2006:

129. jamie said on March 17th, 2006:

     i have been getting calls from 1-888-669-8868, as of late. it’s getting on my nerves! i put my cell number on the “do not call” list about 2-3 weeks ago.. but, apparently, that hasn’t kicked in yet (?).

130. Li said on March 17th, 2006:

     At first I got calls from the number: 877-259-0765, then I got secret ones where the number was blocked. Then, today I got the 866-737-3913. All of these calls have been very all-of-a-sudden, where they are calling profusely. The first time I picked up there was a woman on the other line, and she said “Hello” and I sort of squawked at her in confusion, then she hung up. Maybe the telemarketers are trying to see if the phone numbers that they have are legit & working.

131. lola said on March 17th, 2006:

     I am getting the same calls too. I think it has to do with wire tapping or tracking. I do not believe it is mere telelmarketing. Something deeper than that. hmmm. I was a “telemarketer” kind of, you have leads and a list to call, you always assume that the numbers are legitimate.

     perhaps this is a shadow company under the guise of “merchant sellers”-because what they are selling is crap- and they are trying to accomplish something else.
     Something is very fishy.

132. lola said on March 17th, 2006:

     oh yeah. I noticed that when they call they do not say anything and pause for a certain duration and then hang up. Very fishy guys.

133. Judy said on March 17th, 2006:

     Ugh! I’ve been getting these calls.. from 866 737-3913 all day today on my home phone (vonage)!!! it’s been bugging me! i missed all the calls they left before because i didn’t know who it was.. i finally answered and i was like “hello?” and they were like “hi, is this judy?” and i hung up. i was so freaked out because he knew my name! i’m not even an adult or anything and it’s weird.

134. wayne said on March 17th, 2006:

     I just got my first call from 866-737-3913 then I went looking for this number on google and found this discussion thread. I’ve got US Cellular.

     I believe this is part of a government operation also. Maybe something to do with Homeland Security / Patriot Act / War on Terror / Etc.

135. Joy said on March 18th, 2006:

     On Mar 17th I put 877-259-0765 into a search and got a teenage chat room. This morning I called the police and turned the number in. Yesterday I left a message on the chat room that I was turning them into the police and this morning when I tried to go back in to the chat room it wasn’t there. This could be pedophiles trolling for children. The cheif of police is turning the number over to the FBI.

     I talked to Anne Dean President, CEO. She told me she was with in the law. I chewed her but for a bit and told her what I was going to do. She did in fact say to me she was Millennium Corporate Services. Well since I talked to her all the phones STOPED!

137. alex said on March 23rd, 2006:

     I got a call from 888-669-8868 they’ve been asking for bank info. for my “preapproved mastercard.” Tough luck for them though.

138. russell said on March 23rd, 2006:

     I have recieved the same call 5 times in 2 days, I never answered, I kept trying to call back and it was busy. Finally I got through and it said thank you for calling customer service, you will be contacted. I googled that phrase and wound up here. 866-416-4594 was the number that was calling. But then today I got a call from 706-232-4965 which I have since discovered is out of Rome, GA. I live in NJ and don’t know anyone from GA. It could have been a mistake that they called my cell phone, but I called it back right away and it was busy, then I called back 2 seconds later and it just rang and rang. Well anyway, my plan is to pick the next time I get a call, sound interested in whatever they are selling, tell them I dont have my credit card on me and that if they give me a call back number I will call them back with the cc info. Then I will spend every free moment I have calling them up and harrasing the living shit out of them (excuse my french). Well its a plan anyway. Good Luck all =)

139. Joe said on March 24th, 2006:

     I had 2 calls from 877 259 0765 yesterday but they went to voicemail. Googled and found this website. At least I knew what I was up to at that point. Got another call from 866 823 6594 today. Answered, waited for 5 or 10 seconds before the person on the other end came on (in case anyone hasn’t figured this out already, this is an obvious sign of a computer calling you and only connecting the ones that say “hello” to people … thus not wasting valuable marketing time on people who aren’t home). Person on the other end asked for someone that was not me. I asked who they were. They mumbled something in their foreign accent about courtesy call or something, and UMA. I said place me on your do not call list. They mumble again about this just being a courtesy call. I said do … not … call … list very clearly again. Then they mumbled something and disconnected.

     866-823-6594
     866-655-7336

141. lee said on March 25th, 2006:

     I got a call again from 866-823-6594. I picked up and said hello after reading comments on this site.
     The lady said it was some sweepstakes thing from Nevada. I told her to put my number on do-not-call list.
     She said thanks and hung up. So hoping I wont get any more calls.

     i keep getting calls from 866 416 4594 already 2x today once at 930am and 752pm on my cell phone… the first call i missed- i was asleep- the 2nd i picked up and there was noone there. i checked the fdcpa and it is illegal to call someone on a cell phone with an automated dialer- means that the machine dials u and then puts u on hold until the next avail tele marketer comes to the line. i just registered the dnc… i dont know what website i entered my info in but they must have sold my info!!!

143. elizabeth said on March 28th, 2006:

     today i got a call from 800 780 2107 of course no info on google at all they called at 945am

     Insane.
     My phone has not stopped ringing. Sometimes it’s the same “Toll Free Number” sometimes it’s a new one.
     All hours of day and night.
     I picked up the phone and hung up today without saying anything to the person asking for “Susan” (not me)
     She then called back using “Unknown Caller”, again asking for “Susan”.
     I said “Stop calling this number” she said “Let me verify the number” I said “No you know the number you people are dialing it constantly. I am talking non stop… my phone is constantly ringing. I can hardly call out.
     This is my land line. I called the phone company. They asked if I’d like to change MY number. I have to pay for that.
     I am on the do not call registry already. The do not call list does not apply to non profit orgs or people doing surveys. Only to telemarketers.
     If the company doesn’t try to sell you anything they can call you all the want apparently.
     I don’t know the laws on out of country calls but I sure would like to.

145. Triney said on March 31st, 2006:

     I just started getting calls from 866-823-6594 and 877-259-0765, the past few days. No one speaks if I answer & they are busy when I called back. I have Lingo home phone service so I put all the numbers listed on you site in my don’t bother me pile and criss- crossed them so when they call back they will call themselves & my phone will never ring. Yeah Lingo!! Actually I just decided to send thenm to the rejection line, he! hee! @ 212-479-7990

146. 703! said on April 1st, 2006:

     i keep getting calls from 866-823-6594 and at first i thought it was my credit card company, so i called back and it was busy.
     i’ve been getting calls for 3 days now and i am starting to get spooked because they hang up without saying anything. not to mention, when i called, the voice mail said, ‘this is elyce and you will be contacted’ and it was the creepiest computer generated voice i’ve ever heard which gave me goosebumps.

147. Jay said on April 3rd, 2006:

     call 702-734-1714 and tell them to take your # off their list it works. Other than taht call them all day like they call you to show them how it feels. The company is call Millennium Corporate Services

148. Genesis said on April 3rd, 2006:

     I’ve been getting these phone calls (2-3 times a day) for about three weeks… from reading all of these the only similarites i can see.. is that its always busy when we call the back (its the same for me).. and the few people who have actually gotton through… are told they will be contacted…

     i entered a sweepstakes online.. they asked for my name, address and phone number… but not my credit card… i refuse to put my credit card number into anything…

     I have not recieved a call where they actually know my name… but that is the only idea i can come up with as to where these people possibly could be getting infomation…

     I put my parent’s address into the site instead of where I actually live… so that could be looked at as a good or bad thing…

     There are things online which you can pay to get infomation on phone numbers.. and they are gaurenteed.. if you don’t get the infomation.. they supposidly have to give you your money back…

     everytime i search online all i find is either no infomation at all… or that the number has been disconnected…

     the conclusion to what i’m saying… They’re getting the information from somewhere… so lets find our common ground.. and find out how… thats probably the best step to finding out how to stop it from happening to even more people.. .as well as how to stop it..

     And has anyone actually paid to do a trace on the number? or is everyone else just doing the free ones online like me?

     Did anyone else enter any sweepstakes?

149. Genesis said on April 3rd, 2006:

     thought i should add… the number that is calling me isn’t in the list above… although someone else has mentioned the same number on this page (thats how i found the page to begin with.. i “googled” the number)

     the number calling me is 866-416-4594

150. Genesis said on April 3rd, 2006:

     last one.. i swear… i just recieved another from 866-823-6595… also not in the list above…

     i just called the 866-416-4594… a female’s voice said you have reached customer service.. you will be contacted.

151. Genesis said on April 3rd, 2006:

     I feel obnoxious… but one more.. while talking about the situation to a friend… she said “does your voicemail have your name in it.. they could have gotton your name from that”… to clear that one up… my name is Genesis… but my Voice mail says “Hey this is Genny, Leave it and i’ll get back to you. Thank.” NO WHERE do i say my actual name in my voicemail.. only my nickname.

152. SAcra said on April 3rd, 2006:

     I have also been getting a lot of these phone calls. The number that keeps coming up for me is 866-823-6594. When I answer they hang up after about 5 seconds. When I call back, it is always busy. The calls are driving me crazy!

153. Genesis said on April 4th, 2006:

     update… they called again.. only for once there was someone on the other end… he told me i was entered into a sweeptakes… i replied “thats awesome… can you do me a favor though… and he’s like sure… stop calling me and remove me from whatever sweepstakes i’m in”… he was like uhh… he laughed… and then finally was like okay… i hung up the phone… i’ve yet to recieve a call today.

154. Ryan said on April 6th, 2006:

     I have the 866-416-4594 calling me several times a week. 3-4 times to be precise. WHAT CAN I DO????? I am on the doo not call list!

155. Stephanie said on April 6th, 2006:

     This site is just to crazy. I have been trying to figure out who keeps calling my Verizon cell phone and typed in the number and got this page. The number is 877-259-0765. They never leave a message and have hung up on me once.

156. James Cannon said on April 6th, 2006:

     Just got a call from 877-259-0765. Man asked for me by first name (James.) I was very busy and asked if I could take a message. The man said “No” rather abruptly and hung up. Call came through on Boost Mobile cell.

157. Brad said on April 8th, 2006:

     I too got a call from a 866-823-6594 number, the first time i answered, someone said I had been entered into a vacation sweepstakes and saying thank you for having a visa, or mastercard service, then earlier today i got another call from them, i answered and no one picked up.

158. Tim said on April 8th, 2006:

     Wow, so I’m not the only getting calls from 888-669-8868. I must’ve gotten about 10 calls in the last 7 days, and it’s getting annoying because no one is there when I answer and the line disconnects after 2 or 3 seconds. There is no background noise or anything! I have registered with the Do Not Call list!

159. Geoff said on April 8th, 2006:

     They called me and when I finally answered I got the sales pitch about a free diamond watch and being a finalist in a drawing for $25k or a Beemer. They offered the magazines for $3 a month or whatever and I told them “Why should I pay for magazines I don’t want?” Haven’t had a call since, if they charge me some how since I never gave them any info, I’ll call Visa and yell.

160. Maxwell said on April 10th, 2006:

     The 866-416-4594 number calls me often at strange time of the day, like at four in the morning, if anybody knows anything, please post it. Thanks.

161. Kacie said on April 10th, 2006:

     I have recieved 4 calls all today from the 866-416-4594 number. The first 2 I missed and the next 2 I answered and nothing was there. I got frustrated and tried calling back and it was just a busy tone. This is sooo frustrating.

162. Genesis said on April 13th, 2006:

     Answer the phone when they call… usually its going to be dead air on the other side… eventually… you’ll actually get someone… interrupt them.. and ask them not to call you anymore… they won’t.

     I interrupted the guy… said can you do me a favor and possibly answer a question.. and he was like sure.. i was like can you stop calling me?… i haven’t heard from them since… that was 9 days ago.. they used to call me several times a day.

163. JMDragon said on April 14th, 2006:

     I was getting calls from these numbers for a while, and getting the same crap as everyone else…them hanging up on me and all…they were calling around 4 times a day…you know how it goes. Anyway, eventually one of them called me, and when I answered, said, “congratulations! you’ve been entered into our sweepstakes…” then mumbled something else and hung up. So I called back. the first couple times it was busy, but the third time I called the number back, someone answered, and it sounded like the same guy…so after he said hello, I said, “congratulations! You’ve been entered onto my shit-list!” and hung up on him. Haven’t had a single call from them since.

     by the way, it’s not credit card related, ’cause I’ve never had a single credit card in my life, and they were still calling me.

164. larry hindman said on April 21st, 2006:

     866-654-9724 I called and got put on hold, but somehow they decided to call me back about 1 hour later and they tried to give me a credit card that they said i applied for, but the catch is they do no credit check and the card is not thru a bank. I bet the sales Assoc will not call me back after I put him thru a bunch of questions about the company not respeting the donot call list, the card not going thru a bank, where they were located and so on and on on on on … HAHA the joke was on him for picking my number out to call. I was a call from hell… The other catch was they wan’t me too pay $300.00 to recieve a credit card i was approved for. The company Was INTREGTY FINACAL excuse the spelling They are in clear water FLA.

165. Tony Jackson said on April 21st, 2006:

     OK, for some reason I decided to get on Yahoo! to check out who keeps calling my phone. It appears I am not the only one getting calls from 877-259-0765. I’ve been getting between 10-15 phone calls a day from this number. When I answer they hang up. Besides registering on the do not call list, is there anything you can pursue legally? It’s getting to be borderline harrassment.

166. Chris said on April 22nd, 2006:

     I got a call from a (877) 259-0765 # all of 5 times so far today. I picked up the phone once only to hear it hung back up on the other end. When i tried a few times to return the call to that #, the call would end as soon as I’d press send. This must be a telemarketers computer system.

167. Chris said on April 22nd, 2006:

     Don’t know if this matters, but I have Cingular.

168. elizabeth said on April 22nd, 2006:

     well i registered with the dnc list and my calls have thankfully stopped all together

169. SaygeMarie said on April 23rd, 2006:

     I have worked at Verizon Wireless, and currently work at BoostMobile. i have asked friends still working at verizon wireless if they have heard anything, most say no. My work also says the same thing, although my supervisors say that this is definatly harassment. unfortunatly with cell phones the only options people have is either register for the do not call list, change your phone number, dont answer the calls, or file a report with the police. I FILED A REPORT WITH THE POLICE and told them about this site. The officer gave me a case # and says she will see about getting a detective on this. she herself called the #’s that have been calling me, got the same thing. (877-259-0765 and 866-823-6978) they also call me all hours about 3 times a day at all hours. once at 9:30 pm. the only things i have done online that others have mentioned is turbotax and i booked a hotel online (secure site) i have never gotten a live person who didnt hang up once i answered, but did get the creepy “you will be contacted.” crap. i advise all to file a report to your local police. this is AGAINST the law! the more of you with cases the more likely they will DO something.

171. Paul said on April 24th, 2006:

     I just received a call from 866-416-4594 on my cell phone. I googled it and it brought me here. The guy on the phone asked for me by name. I asked who he was and how he got my number, he said that he was calling from Las Vegas and that my number had been entered in a sweepstakes through my credit card company. I asked which credit card, he hesitated and said they work with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. I lied and told him I don’t have any of those, so he told me it must have been through my bank debit card. I then politely stated that I’m not interested and that I would like to be taken off their list. He then got irritated and said “well, you entered this sweepstakes, we just want you to win.” I said again to lose my number. He kept talking. I finally said “lose my number. Don’t call this phone again.” He got angry said “fine” and hung up. Called the number back and of course it was busy.

172. Valerie said on April 24th, 2006:

     Listen Up, Fellow Americans: you need to register your cellphone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The next time these clowns call, tell them you are on the National Do Not Call Registry, and they will hang up before you can complete the sentence, and you will never hear from them again. We’re talking about a huge fine if they call numbers on that list! It is a good idea to report this kind of harassment to the FCC as well as your carrier. I work for the Los Angeles Police Department. I use the prepaid TracFone service. I got a call from this number, (866) 416-4596, for the first time today and Googled it before I called back. When I was directed to this website and saw all of the comments, I am glad I waitd to call back! What a nightmare! My land line is on the National Do Not Call Registry, and this company, whoever they are, have a major problem on their hands as soon as I enter my cellphone number on that list!!!! I suggest everyone do the same: Get on the Do Not Call Registry!!! Google It!!!

     Check out entries by SaygeMarie (see above), very good advice!!!

173. Sherry said on April 28th, 2006:

     I just received a call on my parents’ home phone from 866-823-6594 asking for my 15 year old daughter. I asked them who they were and they told me U-M-A!
     I asked how they got this number and they immediately hung up. My parents just got this number about a week ago. I think my daughter might have signed up for something on the internet.

174. Geoff said on April 28th, 2006:

     I have just recently begun to receive phone calls from 866-669-8868. This happens usually around 8:30pm eastern time. I too just recently put my number on the “Do Not Call” list. Anybody else?

175. kristin said on April 29th, 2006:

     In the last 24 hours i’ve gotten 4 calls from 866-823-6594. It’s always busy when i call back. They called late last night and early this morning, waking me up twice.

176. April said on April 29th, 2006:

     These past few weeks ive been receiving this # 866-823-6594 and also a couple of restricted calls around 10 pm central time. The restricted calls usually start if i don’t pick up that annoying 866 #. I’ve answered that # before and they did not say anything to me ever and they would just hang up. Mind you, this is on a cell phone. Crazy huh?

177. Sanjay said on May 1st, 2006:

     866-416-4594. Can add this one two the list. Among a couple other. If I find out who it is I’ll sue.

178. Mr. Loochie said on May 2nd, 2006:

     I got a phone call from this number too offering me 25,000 dollars and telling me I won my dream wedding? and a BMW and when i called back, it also was busy

179. Paul said on May 2nd, 2006:

     I received two calls fifteen minutes apart from 800-780-2107. I answered the second call and got a girl named Maria telling me she’s in Las Vegas and is proud to let me know they were entering me in their Lifetime Sweepstakes. I let her know that I was not interested and that my number is registered on the National Do Not Call Registry and to remove me from their call list. We’ll see if that works.

180. Destini said on May 2nd, 2006:

     i recieved calls also from 800-780-2107. they have called me 8 times today. i have answered every time and they hang up on me immediately. i called it back every time and the line was busy. i got a recorded message once and all it said was “you have reached customer service you will be contacted.” but no company name. i am really ticked off.

181. Destini said on May 2nd, 2006:

     ok, tell me why these stupid people are calling me at 950 at night!!!!!

182. cozo82 said on May 3rd, 2006:

     I’ve started getting phone calls from 866-823-6978….has anyone been recieving calls from this #?? i tried calling back but its busy every time.

183. Destini said on May 3rd, 2006:

     i recieved a call from that number this morning.(8668236978) and also from the one who kept calling me last night. i finally called cingular and put my number on the national do not call registry. i suggest everyone do that. cuz after 31days if they call u. u can file a report, which i will if they kept it.

184. Shawn said on May 4th, 2006:

     Yesterday, 887-259-0765 called me. This guy just started talking. I really could hear what was going on or what he was asking cause I was driving. But he really got my attention, when he asked me if I had a checking account. I told him yes. Then he had the nerve to ask me if I could be put on hold. I ended the call. I was in my college class taking my final, they called again. After class, I tried to call back: busy. I googled the number, and got here. I think that I’ll wait for the no call list for now. I want to answer and see if i can talk to someone. Play with their heads a little. I have the time, I’m out of college.

185. Theresa said on May 4th, 2006:

     I have been receiving phone calls from 866-654-9724 at my job. Thus far, I have received five phone calls from this number and every time I answer the phone the person disconnects. I called the number back and it was busy.

186. Theresa said on May 4th, 2006:

     I called back 866-654-9724 and I spoke with a representative. She was soliciting for an international visa card with a $3,000 credit limit and she stated that I qualified, which is pretty much based on little or no information about me–another scheme. She asked me for my telephone number and I veered into another direction with the conversation and asked if there were any fees asssociated with the card.She stated the opening balance is $300 and that I would need to provide her with my checking account number. I said yeah ok and just hung up.

     BEWARE!!!

I call cingular and they sad there nothing they can do about….But who will paid for those minutes?, Customer. And why must of the customer are cingular custmer???? Maybe Cingular give our number to some company???

188. Kelsey said on May 4th, 2006:

189. Destini said on May 4th, 2006:

     im sick of getting these calls, they called me again today but this time the number was one of the 877 numbers off the list. i cant wait til my 30 days are up on the call list, im gonna file a report if they call again!

190. Preston said on May 5th, 2006:

     1-888-669-8868
     and 11-800-800-0000 keeps calling me. I an ALREADY on the do not call list, I have been on it for 2 years. How do I report these bastrads?

191. Cats said on May 5th, 2006:

     i *wish* i had signed up for something…

     same ole story–got a call today, saying i won something in a sweepstakes. if they’d called 10 minutes earlier or 20 minutes later, I would have had real fun with them, but i was in the middle of a very serious meeting.

     so tonight, i get a call on my cell–again. i didn’t get there in time. i return to my work, and an hour later, another call–same number. 866-823-6594

     the part that irritates me is that they asked for someone else–of which i’ve gotten calls before on as well (i suspect the guy’s been using this number by accident), signed up for something, used this number…and now i’m getting *his* harassment calls.

     Cingular.

     I’m looking forward to telling them that I’m on the DNC, about Anne Dean, that I’m actually in law enforcement, and they’ve totally been busted. (well, okay, so the law enforcement is a little bit of a stretch…)

     oh, and i *never* give out this phone number. now i’m upset that they might have my name now, too, because it’s on my voice mail.

192. Jon said on May 6th, 2006:

     I have a pay-as-you-go plan with Virgin Mobile and have only had my new number for 3 months. I started getting the calls a few days ago and haven’t answered. Now that I’ve seen this page, I think I’ll have a little fun with ‘em next time.

193. rachel said on May 8th, 2006:

     1-866-416-4594 calls all the time. I called it back and it was busy, but when I hung up, it called me right back. Guy said I was entered to win something. I asked him to take me off his calling list and he said he didn’t have a list. I asked him what he needed to do to make sure I wasn’t called anymore. He hung up. DAMN THEM!

     I got a call from 1888-669-8868. I called it back and I got a person stated that I can now Sign up for a Credit Card. They call cell phones so that you can call them back. This is how they get you to sign up for something.

     I received call from:
     1-800-780-2107
     1-866-597-5465
     1-866-823-6978

     I picked up on the last call from the last # at 7:49pm earlier and some guy was cussing in Vietnamese over the line (which I understand since I`m Viet myself). He then proceeded to ask for my father by NAME but I told him that I was the owner of the account. He knew my name as well. I asked him what he wanted and he was like “T-Mobile (the phone company I use) told me to contact the holder of this account to inform them in Vietnamese that they have outstanding fees for text messaging”

     I was like WTF cuz I have a plan with 1000 text messages every month. I asked if it was some kind of BS and he said no. He sounded very unprofessional. I again asked him why T-mobile would send a representative to call me as a translator since my father speaks English pretty well. It was just overall really weird. I proceeded to cuss him out over the phone and hung up before he could say anything.

     I then called T-mobile and talked to a REAL representative and he informed me that my account was perfectly fine and that if the phone calls proceed that I should inform the police.

     Weird to say the least.

     I keep getting phone calls form 1-888-669-8868, but they call and then instantly hang up…it’s like they don’t even try to sell me anything, they just hang up everytime I pick up…now thats freaking annoying

202. Ava said on May 19th, 2006:

     im glad there is a website with the number. i have verizon and i got a phone call from 866-823-6594. i picked up and they hung up i called back it was busy i called back again and it rang and said they would contact me. how lame!! then i got another call from that number and two unknown calls within 2 hours. they need to stop!

203. SUMMER said on May 19th, 2006:

     i also received a call but they asked for my 12 year old son. i will find out who this is and sue.

204. Kj said on May 23rd, 2006:

     I entered my phone number into what looked like my wireless service provider to get my account info and instantly my phone rang from 888-669-8868 I think this is a new type of phishing scam where crooked companies make money off of smaller fish

205. Kj said on May 23rd, 2006:

     check your computers for malware/spyware if you get pop ups or your e-mail is being spammed do not buy anything online or type your phone numbers any time check your computers out before buying online

206. Chibi said on May 23rd, 2006:

     I also received a call from 1 800 780 2107. they started talking about sweepstakes and draws. I hung up when they started asking for info.

207. Riley said on May 24th, 2006:

     I have just recieved a call from the number
     1-866-654-9724
     They just hung up everytime i called it was busy except once an operator said “One moment while i connect you” I waited a long ass time while they played gay music… after reading all of these there are not alot of explanations…

     I think we should start to think more along the lines of the governemnt phone tapping conspiracy… maybe there is something here we all have in common A reason for the calls… This may be how they get in your phone or whatever who knows what kind of technology the governemnt really has… just an idea!

208. Meghan said on May 24th, 2006:

     I have been getting their calls all day and haven’t picked up! I’m getting pissed!

209. Genesis said on May 25th, 2006:

     April 13th was my last call… i was a bitch to him on the phone.. and told him i was on the DNC list… Do the same… they’ll quit calling.

210. Seaandra said on May 25th, 2006:

     Wow, so many other’s from this 1-888-669-8868! I did a google search and found this site! Luckily, I have a wonderful phone company, Sunrocket and I am able to manage calls easily through my account online. I registered just now for the “do not call” list (thank you for putting it up on this site) And I also put it on my blocked list. I also recieved a call with the same “800 Service” on my caller ID but with the number 1-800-634-6729. I blocked this also. But I had the same weird thing happen as Tim (comment no. 158) mentioned, No one is there, and in about 2-3 seconds I get the dead signal like they hung up. What are these calls from? If they are solicitors, why do they hang up? I don’t understand. Maybe all these people together with enough complaints can stop these annoying calls.

211. Seaandra said on May 25th, 2006:

     AHA!!! This 1-888-634-6729 number..all the hang ups, etc…I actually called them back and believe it or not, I GOT AN ANSWER!! I asked to speak with a manager and it was for some credit card pre-approved CRAP…she claimed that they have been having trouble with their “system” but whatever, I requested that my number be taken off the list and they were polite and told me no problem. At least with this number I got through, hopefully it can work for some of you as well.

212. M. Summers said on May 25th, 2006:

     I ALSO started getting calls from 1-877-259-0765 two days ago and ive been getting about 2-3 a day since then. im a verizon customer in illinois. they knew my full name and asked for me.

213. Jianfeng Zhang said on May 25th, 2006:

     Starting from May 23rd, the following numbers begun to call me talking about
     sweepstakes thing from Nevada:
     1-800-780-2107
     1-866-823-6978
     1-877-259-0765
     I am a T-Mobile user.

214. Riley said on May 25th, 2006:

     Does this Do Not Call thing cost money… if so this must be a scam the people from the Do Not Call thing call and annoy the hell out of you and then they set up a site like this and tell people if these numbers call you to register to the Do Not Call therefore they get money!!!

215. kj said on May 26th, 2006:

     Just for kicks out of everyone here how many of you have entered personal information on the internet because I was looking up my account on my cell phone company and it wouldn’t go through. strange, because it always went thruough now I’m getting nailed day and night by these creeps
     866-823-6594
     877-259-0765
     888-669-8868
     whats this world coming to as if it wasn’t hard enough to get by “crooks”

216. Jacqueline said on May 26th, 2006:

     yeah i keep gettin calls on my mobile from 866-823-6594….then wyhen i answer they just hang up…its pretty sketchy

     IVE BEEN RECEIVING THESE CALLS AS WELL…. MY CALLER ID ON MY HOME PHONE SAYS THAT ITS “PARAGON WATER S” FOR THE 727-450-0346 line … i haven’t tried to search this name yet…

220. Brett said on May 29th, 2006:

     I just started receiving calls from 866 416 4594 the last two days. A call on Sunday at 8am and then again twice today(Memorial Day).

221. Laurie said on May 30th, 2006:

     I have been receiving calls from 866-416-4594 all day for the past 2 days. When I ask they hang up and called right back. Then I called back and a recording says “Customer Service someone will call you back” and the line goes dead. Do these people not have anthing else to do on a holiday weekend???

222. Steevo said on May 30th, 2006:

     Over the past week or so I’ve been recieving numerous calls from 888-669-8868, 866-416-4594, and 800-780-2107. Any time I’ve answered someone has hung up. I called back the 8868 number and got a message saying something along the lines that I had recieved a special offer to press 1 to confirm, I waited and was connected to a man who asked me for my name. I told him that I had been recieving several annoying phone calls from that number and I them to stop. He told me that I would be put on their do not call list but I have since recieved 2 more phone calls from them.

     I am going to use this list (http://www.lifeisajoke.com/miscellaneous40_html.htm) starting at #1 and see how long it takes for them to stop bothering me.

223. Luke said on May 30th, 2006:

     so I called back on one of those calls that i kept getting and guess what? i got through to a telemarketer! damn did i give him a peice of my mind, threatening to report his company and what not. I could hear alot of people in the background talking so i think there is a really big thing goin on. sigh. this should be illegal.

224. Chrisitne said on June 1st, 2006:

     I live in California and just got a call from 877-259-0765. Thanks to everyone for documenting.

225. Lisa said on June 2nd, 2006:

     if you get a call from this number 866-823-6978 and happen to pick up the call..which my son did..he was scammed, they managed to sweet talk some valuable info out of my son(who is not experienced in how to deal with con artist). I am reporting this number and I also called our local police department and filed a police report. DO NOT LET THESE LOSER scum bags SCAM YOU!!! I also listed them on http://www.ripoffreport.com..go there and do the same thing..these people have to be stopped.

226. Ella said on June 3rd, 2006:

     it’s just unbelievable. How is it possible? Oh the other hand, why should I be surprised? Everything is possible in this society. I feel better that I’m not the only one. However, did anyone figure out what is going on here? I’ve been receiving calls on my cell (sprint) from 866-823-6594 for the last few days. Once I picked up, and it was just silence there. Another time, I received a voice mail but it was nothing recorded. It freaked a hell out of me. I tried to call back but I keep receiving a busy signal. The world is going to end. I gave up on my land line long time ago, is the same thing going to happen to my cell? Where is our privacy? The world is going to the end.

227. Ashley said on June 3rd, 2006:

     they ask for your credi6t card number, dont give it to them. They will eventually make you pay 24.99 a month for stupid magazines and they wont take no for an answer. Tell them you are not interested! I think I may have screwed myself over. I am going to have my card number changed. So I want to save the rest of you out there, do not give them your card.

228. Josh Manning said on June 5th, 2006:

     I have been getting calls from 1-866-416-4594 on my cell. It was like 11 at night i live in tennessee and the number kept calling me every 30 minutes and then it called my house and i used star 69 and it couldnt be traced. I was alone at the house watching my little brother and the number called 3 on my cell and 2 on my house phone and when it called it would sound like a beep noise every 2 seconds. ild call back and it was busy. I have T-mobile cell, and Bellsouth house phone.

229. Ella said on June 6th, 2006:

     i thought I left one comment but appearantly it’s not posted. I’ve been getting calls to my cell from 866-416-4594 for the last few days. And today I started receiving 800-780-2107. It’s so annoying. Does anyone figure out what is going on? I live in the Bay Area and use SPRINT.

230. Ella said on June 6th, 2006:

     Josh, the house and your cell at the same time? That’s freaky. And finally, I see my posting above. I guess it wasn’t updated or something. Ok, so so far I’ve been getting from 3 different numbers. Help!!!!!!!

231. Revo said on June 7th, 2006:

     The same problem has been happening to me…i simply don’t pick up. I was wondering if anyone else had signed up for the FREE IPOD via http://www.freeipods.com. I know its not a scam and you will receive your ipod, however, in order for them to make money they might be selling the phone number that you are giving them :/… That’s all that I can think of of what I’ve done lately to warrant such malicious activity lol. If you recently given your phone number to any site or business i suggest you post the website or business hear so we can maybe find a link or connection. By the way I live in Miami, FL and are a T-mobile subscriber although I highly doubt that that makes a difference.

232. Revo said on June 7th, 2006:

     Sorry for the double post, but I almost forgot the most important part to my comment: The Do-Not-Call List. The DNC does not prevent all call!!! Political organizations, charities, and telephone surveyors as well as calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship, or those to whom you’ve provided express agreement in writing to receive their calls STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL YOU AS MUCH AS THEY WANT. These people apparently found that out and are taking the SURVEY approach. Regardless, even if you are on the national do not call list they can still call you as much as they like.

233. Holly said on June 7th, 2006:

     I get two to three calls aday from a 866-823-6978 number and when i answer they dont say anything and then hang out. I try and call back and its busy everytime.

234. Aubrey said on June 8th, 2006:

     I got a call this morning from (877)259-0765. The guy knew my name and said I was entered in some sweepstakes. I answered his 5 survey questions and then he told me I would receive a blender and magazines for only 3.95 a week for 60 months or something. I told him I didn’t want to be charged for something I don’t know anything about and he went on trying to sell the magazines to me. Finally I told him I could get free magazines at work, and he said, “OK, well good luck in the sweepstakes.” Is it possible that they have my credit card information if I didn’t give it to him? I’ve tried calling back to make sure I’m not going to get a bunch of shitty magazines and a blender sent to my house, but I can’t get through. Does anyone know a number I can call?

235. Sunny said on June 8th, 2006:

     They are actually a company based out of Manitoba, Canada. Former employees have commented that the business is run by sleazy managers, some who claim to be ex-lawyers, but are actually ex-cons. For a very informative link, click below. You can read testamonies from ex-employees.
     http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff9751.htm

     Sadly, the company has a website that is so poorly-written and poorly-conceived that I’m sad that people fall for working for them and buying from them. I hope the information I provide helps you all.

236. Lindsay said on June 8th, 2006:

     877-259-0756 called me three or four times today. So- I looked the number up! I answered the last time- and they hung up on me!

237. Kathryn said on June 10th, 2006:

     I’ve been getting calls the past 3 days from (866)823-6594 and are busy when I try to call back. How frustrating, my goodness!

238. Heather said on June 10th, 2006:

     I keep recieving calls from three different numbers. (866)823-6594, (877)259-8755, (800)780-2107. Everytime I go to answer the calls I miss them. I also have t-mobile service and have had it since sept but I didn’t start reccieving these calls until Jan. Crazy! All I can say is that it is really annoying! I signed up for the do not call list today-hopefully it takes effect REAL soon because I don’t know how much longer I can take it!

239. Noeun said on June 12th, 2006:

     It’s pretty weird, I’ve been getting these calls for months now. I’ve been ignoring the calls hoping they’d leave a message. But no message…finally just last Thursday I decided to pick up and no one was on the other end. I called back and the number was busy. They even call on the weekends! I’ve gotten calls from 866-823-6594 & 866-416-4594. They called again today..and I picked up, hoping to find someone on the other end. Because I was going to make it so they don’t call again. But it was complete silence. Why do they call and hang up? What’s the purpose?……….Anyone? I use T-mobile by the way.

240. Gina said on June 12th, 2006:

     Yeah, so this is ridiculous. No telemarketers was one of the deciding factors to having a cell phone as my primary phone. I’ve been called twice in an hour and a half by these people at 866-416-4594.

241. LiZ said on June 12th, 2006:

     866-416-4594..Has been calling me for weeks..when i call back it picks up in the middle of a sentence and then the line cuts..thank the lord for this site i thought it was the devil calling me.

242. TommieLynn said on June 12th, 2006:

     These people are ridiculous! I screamed at one of them for calling me for about the 6th time in one day, and now they’re calling me from a different extension. I called my cell phone provider and they advised me and anyone else having this problem to go to the police and file a harrassment charge, especially if you’ve asked them to stop, or you recieve more than three calls a day from them. By the way, has anyone else had them call after 11pm?

243. TommieLynn said on June 12th, 2006:

     File a complaint here: http://www.vegasbbb.org/complaint_form.html
     Here’s the info you’ll need:

     United Marketing Association
     P.O. Box 12057
     Las Vegas, NV 89121

     Country: US
     Phone Number: 866-416-4594
     They use many other numbers so be specific with the one that calls you, they called me from 866-823-6594, when i asked them to stop calling me from that number, they starded calling me from and 877 number, now it’s 866-416-4594

     Also, register with http://www.donotcall.com, it takes 31 days, but at this point, if that makes them stop, I’ll take it.
     Apparently a lot of other people are complaining about them too, I would love to know why there isn’t a class action suit or something going on. I hope something is done about it.
     Good luck!

244. kroc said on June 13th, 2006:

     i am so glad that i found this website because these numbers calling were realling starting to freak me out…i didnt realize so many other people were going through the same time thing. Anyway the numbers calling me are 1-800-780-2107 and 1-866-416-4594 and like every else said evertime i try and call it back it is busy or i get a message that says i have reached customer service i will be contacted. I really hope this problem gets fixed fast

245. Leslie said on June 13th, 2006:

     I just got a call from 866-654-9724 on my cellular phone, so i typed it in the search engine and i found two sites….this one and http://www.eyeoncredit.com. The number i got was :866-654-9724 and apparently they are a credit scam company. i advise anyone else to check out this site to see if any of the no’s that appeared on their phone match. just wanted to let you all know.

246. John said on June 13th, 2006:

     866-655-7336

     this is too weird! i got a call from this # 3 times and tried to call it back, but was told it was a nonworking #. i registered with the do not call list in october!

247. Michael said on June 13th, 2006:

     I too am glad I found this website. My wife and I have also been recieving these calls. I have gotten numerous calls from numerous numbers. My last is the same as Kroc’s. I did pick up one time and heard a woman laughing in the back ground. That is all though.

248. Stephanie said on June 13th, 2006:

     i too have been having this problem i got a call from 1-800-780-2107 they only called 2 times but the first was around 11:30 am today and the most recent one was a 8:00 pm today…i missed both calls but called back and got a busy signal i found this site and immediately called verizon customer service the man asked for the number said he would add it to the “scam list” and it would take affect in 2 days or less so no other verizon subscribers will have this problem..

249. Dd said on June 14th, 2006:

     do not answer or call back! It seems that some shady company (possibly based in Las Vegas) has gotten a hold of a large number of phone numbers. Quite a few people have reported being called several times a day on their home, business, personal/cell phones. Often when they pick up a phone the call gets disconnected or they hear a pre-recorded message. It seems that the dialing is done by the computer which just goes through the list dialing numbers from a database. When the call get’s answered a message is played and the phone number is added to the “valid number” list. Some people who have missed the call called back, but got either busy signal or another recorded message. Calling these guys back, seems to also “validate” your number. After the automated part is done, one is likely to receive a call from an actual person who will try really hard to get some personal info, so later they can charge you for magazines, credit card application or other bogus goods and services. They may say that one has been entered into sweepstakes and have won something, or that one will receive free items for answering the survey questions. In any case - DO NOT give them any personal information, or even better - don’t answer their calls and file a complaint with FCC. If you do give them your checking account number, address and name - you will be billed for all kinds of things you don’t need or want.

250. Lu Ponz said on June 14th, 2006:

     I’ve been getting these calls for years!! The most frequent number is 866-823-6978. I also get them from this whacko number: 000-000-0000… what the heck is that??? Here’s another one: 315-413-0811…

     It drives me nuts!!!

251. Vel said on June 19th, 2006:

     I’ve been getting calls from 866-823-6594 and 866-416-4594. I’ve tried calling them back also and to know avail it’s BUSY….I am now on the do not call list. I have also been getting calls from 613-226-4730 which they say…thank you for calling the do not call line please enter…..so why would they be calling me? I am a verizon user.

252. Vel said on June 19th, 2006:

     More to add…..866-823-6978; 877-259-0765 they all call at least 3-4 times a day.

253. Chris said on June 19th, 2006:

     #’s 866-416-4594 and 866-823-6594 have not stopped calling me since last weekend. I just signed my number up under the don’t call list. Do people have nothing better to do?

254. Jess said on June 21st, 2006:

     866-823-6978 and 800-780-2107 have been calling me since yesterday. I wasn’t sure who it was, so, like everyone else, i did a google search, and came across this. This happened to me once before on my old phone, but then it abruptly stopped. it’s really annoying to be at work and have your phone ring IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING, and thinking its an emergency, run to your phone only to look like an IDIOT! these people need to stop calling us. seriously, not interested. we should all file compliants with the BBB and make it known that we don’t take this kind of stuff. i have verizon too, and i’m wondering if i can block these numbers.

255. vicki said on June 22nd, 2006:

     I got calles from this number two days in a row. Today I actually had someone talk to me saying I was registered for a vacation in vegas and then they asked if I had a mastercard. I heard from another website that they will aske for your bank number. I told him off and he hung up and I told him I am reporting him. I believe they are getting the numbers from on line Surveys. thats they only way the got that my cell number.

     I submitted a complaint to the FBI website. https://tips.fbi.gov/
     Its good to get these guys on the feds radar screen

256. Homer Simpson said on June 22nd, 2006:

     I just spoke to a lady from the 877-259-0765 number. She claimed to have been located in Las Vegas. She wanted to inform me that I have been entered into a sweepstakes entry, where I could possibly win $25,000, a car, a boat, etc…. (yea right). She asked if I had any major credit cards, so I said yes. She then only asked me if I was married, my age, my hobbies, and which credit card gives me the best service. I answered all of her questions. She never once asked me for any information. She apparently had it already. (as far as my name and number). When I called back, it is just a busy signal.

     Based on what everyone here has to say, it sounds to me like it is some company with a computer which is calling ten thousand phone numbers a day. If you answer and there is no one there, or you get that stupid computer message, it is most likely because the person on the other end is still on another call. But, the computer keeps dialing numbers
