Thanks!

that happened about 2 or 3 years ago, I get telemarketers constantly (and have my phone listed on the registry) the issue now is they hide their information, and to get the government to do anything you have to record the conversation

**SyntheticShield** · 02-15-2008

**Toasty** · 02-15-2008

yep... it's false... no cell phones on calling lists, nor is there a yet to be released cell phone phone book... nada

The only telemarketing calls I've gotten is when I put my phone number on my ebay. I've never gotten mass amounts of phone calls before from telemarketers.

**archemedes** · 02-15-2008

I get them, but my cell phone is linked to my business as an alternate customer service line (thank you American express for that requirement)

**2Fast4U** · 02-15-2008

I did hear it on the news a week ago. I do get txt messages that are telemarketers and I hate that!!!! Yes I have gotten calls from them and I never give my number out to anyone. Then I asked how they ot the number and they just hang up. Put our numbers on it about a year ago and haven't received any calls since, except txt but don't hardly get those anymore either.

This may just be a coincidence, but.....yesterday(the day after I registered for the do not call), I got a call from a 1-866 number. The guy wanted to give me a credit card to establish credit, with a couple thousand dollar credit limit. We only have 1 credit card (besides bank card). For emergencys. I believe that your first card, they don't give you a big limit. He just needed to verify that I had an open active checking account. He then asked my routing and account numbers. I told him I'm not supposed to give that out. He kinda got pissy and said well, when you go to the grocery store and write a check, its on there. I asked him can I call him back. He kinda yelled Thank You and hung up on me. I didnt even get his number. I called my bank. SCAM! What I find to be a little stranger, I just made a big deposit Saturday. A year ago almost to the day, we went to Vegas. We only spent cash, but while we were gone, someone got my bank card number and took all the money out of my account. I got a new card. Weird stuff.
It was 1-866-710-8746. He said he was in Florida.

if you google search that number, it comes back with a number of complaints, seems to indeed be a scam type place -- gold line credit or something like that...

**GTPluv** · 02-19-2008

Wow, Thanks!

**GTPluv** · 02-19-2008

I just looked at it. I reported them to the BBB.

First of all I want to Thank you. I received a phone call on my cell phone from this number. I didn't answer it, as I never answer a call on my cell, if it is a 1-800,1-866,1-877 number. I let it ring and then I google the number and research it, so thank you for making this information available on the net, as I know it will help many others as it did me.
