we are on the Do not call lsit this people keep calling us 3 times a day...........
I am realy pissed off.

any help?

Googling it returns a private residence. Have you bothered to call it?

i JUST CALLED IT BECAUSE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S A CREDIT CARD CALLING MACHINE.

Report them to the feds, and your state if possible.

If I understand your post, they are calling with a recorded message? If so, keep track of the dates and times, you can successfully sue them for that.

I Work for a phone service and the number that you are having trouble with is a company called Merchant Services. When a business gets a new line or DL this company finds out and send an automatied message to get you to purchase their credit card machine for your business. All you have to do is call it and leave your name/business and the number and tell them to take you off their list and if they do not you will report them. That usually takes care of it.

This number called us and when I answered, they hung up.
No less than 20 minutes ago, a scam credit card company called us and was extremely rude. We jsut recently got this number!
PLEASE, people, check the number of the people calling you and do not trust anyone who says they are with charity or credit cards unless they do not ask for information. It is disgusting how some people will try to take advantage of others.

I got a new business phone number. This joker called and said he'd been by the store and didn't look like it was open. I'm 2000 miles away and I work on the road and from an office in my home. Huh? Damned telemarketers.

Me too, called every day for the last week. Did not leave any messages, but when I answered he asked if I took credit cards. I told him to take me off his call list. He responded, "Huh?", because he wanted to buy something on credit. RIiiiiiiight. Scumbag.

This guys name comes up as:
Jack H. Wendell
6236 N. 16th Street
Phoenix AZ 85016
602-264-7992

I am curious.
When I search, it comes up as:
Jack H. Wendell
6236 N. 16th St.
Phoenix, AZ 85016
602-264-7997
Whe I called back, I got a scam about BUYING a credit card machine for $299.00
with a 1.4% rate on transactions.
I hope the cops or the feds nail these pricks.

We are getting the same calls here daily, and we are also on the do not call list.

This place calls my office everyday around the same time give or take 2 hours. This is very annoying because when I answer I have no one on the phone then the phone is disconnected. It is very nice to have this crap blocking the phone line for our regular customers. Arhhgghhggh!!!

This is the name which was given on the recording.

get on google.com, I am in MN, so I enter in mn do not call list. Do the same for your state. Do a complaint against them. I did and got them to stop calling. These people are a bunch of pricks, and hang up on you ASAP after you anser there question. Do a complaint! the more the better against a company that does not follow laws.
good luck!

The number showing up on your caller ID may not be the actual number calling you. They may be using Caller ID Spoofing and just randomly chose some unlucky person’s number.

They will never, and I mean never, stop. NEVER.

Do not waste your time listening to worthless suggestions from people who have not gone through this phone rape – and that's exactly what it is, a form of rape. Because when you tell someone to stop doing something and they keep doing it against your will, that is the very definition of rape! And the mental anguish of these non-stop, unwanted, harassing calls is a form of mild torture.

Those who have not gone through this nightmare will tell you all sorts of pipe dream schemes that don't work, such as:

• Tell them to put you on their "Do Not Call List" (They don’t have one! They are criminals, not legitimate businesses.)
• Tell them the party they are trying to reach doesn't live there anymore. (They don't care about the name of the person. They have the number and their computer will continue to call it regardless of who owns the number. It's all a numbers game with them. More calls on their end eventually equals more money scammed out of innocent people.)
• Lie to them by telling them you are some sort of law enforcement agent or that you are recording the calls. (Even if they believed you – which they won't- they know they can't be touched in their backwards, corrupt banana republic poor excuse of a country – often the Dominican Republic.)
• Report them to this or that government agency ranging from the state all the way up to federal level. (The government does not investigate or care about individual cases and will do absolutely nothing to help you as an individual.)
• Ask the phone company to block the calls. (My phone company has been absolutely worthless in this area only offering to block just 3 or 4 numbers, no more. If it is toll-free number, they'll never block it for you.)
• Put your name on the national Do Not Call list. (This does not work because often times the calls come from foreign countries and besides, no matter where the calls originate from, there are absolutely no enforcement provisions for violators of the Do Not Call list.)

You have only 3 options:

• Accept it and continue getting the calls non-stop for years (and YES, they will last for years! Unfortunately I know from first hand experience.)
• Change your phone number. (My only problem with this, was that the poor sap who got my old number would now start getting the calls, and I could not morally do that to any human being!)
• Or get something like a Caller ID Manager.

I am not connected with this product or any company selling it. I am just telling you (and others on similar boards who are going through the same thing), from one person to another who has gone through this nightmare, that after over a year of non-stop harassing calls, and trying EVERYHTING short of changing my phone number, this is the ONLY thing that worked. Period!

This device has its pros and cons. Here they are:
PRO

• It is the only way to stop your phone from actually ringing through with these unwanted calls.
• You can block any specific number from ever ringing through.
• You can block any number based just on its area code, including any toll-free number by blocking based on the first 3 digits, such as 800, 866, 877, 888, etc. This is helpful as these scumbags often change just the last 7 digits, but keep the area code, and there are only a limited number of toll-free prefixes - and ALL of those can be pre-blocked!
• You can block private calls from ringing through that don't show up as any number.
• Any private call from a legitimate person you may know can still go to your answering machine/service to leave you a message.

CON

• Any number (including any number you block) "rings" silently the first few rings until the device determines if it is a blocked number or an allowed number. This results in your phone sometimes only ringing out loud once or twice before it goes to your answering machine or service. Sometimes you may not get to the phone in time.
• The thing costs a hefty $100.

You can weigh the pros and cons yourself to see if it is worth you getting one. All I can say is that it is the best investment I have made in a long time and it has stopped 99% of the calls! And that 1% or so that gets through always gets added onto the blocked calls!

Good luck!

We keep getting the same phone calls. I have asked them repeatedly to take our company off their list. They never do!!! My boss has decided to call them again and agian and again. We have both tried to be nice but get no where. We have called our phone company to try and take care of it, we are on the Do Not Call List, and now my boss is filing complaints. I hope this gets taken care of at some point. It sure would be nice.

It seems their tenticles are reaching everyone.

Filing complaints will NOT work! It is a waste of time! Calling them back over and over will NOT work! It not only wastes time, but confirms to them that your phone number - as it shows up on their caller ID - is a real number that they can (and will) keep calling for years on end. It will NEVER stop! That is not hyperbole! These people are the lowest of the low among criminals. Like I said before, they are basically rapists. Death is too good a punishment for them.

Your boss has only 3 options:

Accept it and keep getting the calls for years
Change the phone number (may not be an easy option for a business)
Get a device to block the calls, realizing that this will cause the phone to ring a few more times than normal for your legitimate calling customers before you answer it
