Firstly, if your telephone number is unlisted it won't protect you against anyone dialing your number and ringing your phone.An unlisted number is NOT an automatically "unavailable: number. Secondly, if your telephone service provider has a feature which allows you to "block" numbers that you know are annoying why not use it? In New York, Verizon offers just such a service. It's called Call Intercept and you can enter up to 25 "annoyance call" numbers. They CANNOT get through to annoy you! If you cannot get this service then just pickup the phone when it rings with this telephone number and hang it up immediately!That's about all you can do!

asking if i am a female. This has happened about a year ago to my same cellphone #. This person goes by the name of "rick"

yeah, received a call6pm. rang twice. called back, said number could not be completed at this time.

Calls about 2 or 3 times a day and it started about 3 months ago. He started out by leaving messages stating he needs me to confirm my social security number. And now he has left a message stating my social over our answering machine. I called back to see whats going on and he claims that a company i have never heard of is pressing charges because i owe them money and the only way to not go to court is to pay him the money so he can pay them. he claims to know my phone number, address, email, and social.

Continue to call, no message is left and it will not let me return the call

This person with a heavy Foreign Accent called my work # several times a day. Said he was from ACS this last time about a payday loan from Cash Express...I have never had a loan from that place. Others yes. This guys had two of my contacts whom I hope they are not calling either. He was told not to be calling me at work by my supervisor since we are not allowed personal calls, but he didn't care and still wanted to leave his #. He called again this week and my supervisor was busy and he left a message, called back 30mins or so later saying she had not returned the call..so now hes bugging my supervisor. This guy is gonna make me lose my job if they don't stop. Where can we report them? When they call my cell phone, the number comes up as 0000? what is that? Everyone beware...don't give any info.

Just got a call from these a$$holes and I'm ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST . . . just re-registered all my phone numbers again only two months ago (or actually a bit less). FRUSTRATING!!!

please make sure i do not recieve any more crap text messages on our home phone again as we already have registered against this sort of thing. most annoyed if telstra allow this crap

trying to get me to release money for a payday loan I never recieved

Don't know who this caller was.

I received a phone call at lease 4X a day. They call my mobile phone; I never answer my phone at work. When I return the call no one answers - please advise...Don't want to receive any more calls
