Re: 1-808-000-0000

I googled and found this:

This number is just a default that is sometimes used when the caller does not have a normal number. For example, if someone calls you using Skype, an internet VoIP program, the other persons caller ID registers it as 1800-000-0000 sometimes. I've seen it happen with several other services as well, internet and not. In short, this number is not a particular person or group of persons, but a generic default when no information is available. Think of it the same as "Unavailable" on your caller ID.

Re: 1-808-000-0000

Thanks, I googled it myself and got the same things. Annoying however
to get this call, how long will it go on? Until the election? I think it's probably
a political call probably even a computer who knows.

Another overly active telemarketing nuisance is the computer dialer for the "extended auto warrenty" service. That horrid setup will redial and redial and redial for days on end.

Re: 1-808-000-0000

Yep I had our Civic in for a recall issue and left my cell phone
for them to call me when it was ready. A------S at the Honda place
must have it in their system to pass on the number because I keep
getting calls on my cell phone about auto warranty. The bummer is
it says "press 2" to be taken off the list and my service makes it
unable to do that, I get something like they'll keep the call in the
message box!

I think they make just random auto dialed calls, too. I've spoken to them twice. If you answer the phone, you get a recorder saying hold on, then an "operator" comes on who asks your make and year of auto. First time, I said something made up, somewhat new, and was told to hold on while they connected me to a sales rep. I hung up at that point.

The next time when they called, when the operator asked for the make and year of auto, I said a 20 year old model, and that it needed alot of work, and thanked them for calling with an extended warrenty offer.
SHE hung up on ME.

Re: 1-808-000-0000

The thing is I never have my phone on unless I leave the house which is
almost never. I understand what you are saying - thanks!

I recently started receiving those, too. Aren't those calls illegal if one has registered at donotcall.gov?

The other calls that irritate me are aimed at the former users of 2 of my current phone #s. Evidently both have some overdue bills! Not knowing if these overdue bill situations are, indeed, true I have to be really careful what info I give so I end up not giving the callers any info, other than I'm not the party they were hoping to reach...and hope that the calls stop. Dang, that was a really long sentence!

Here's what the DoNotCall website has to say about it:

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website.

https://www.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

1. To file a complaint now, your phone number must have been on the registry for 31 days.
   
2. To file a complaint, we need the date you got the call, and either the name or telephone number of the company that called you.
   
   *Reminder: Even if your number is registered, companies with which you do business may continue to call you. So may charities, political organizations, and telephone surveyors.

Smart move, Sue. My parents will try to be helpful and give out all sorts of information. Drives me nuts. They're slowly learning, though.


I really hate bill collectors who mistake you for someone else. A while back I got a call from one. They had my name partially right, and of course my phone number. The bill was for college classes at a school I never attended. When I told them it wasn't me, they asked for more information to "help verify". I was like, "Hell no. You don't even have my correct name. You need to do your homework."

Of course instead of spending time or money to investigate, they just harassed me with their automated phone calling system. Every few days there'd be up to three messages on my answering machine, threatening to ruin my credit rating or garnishing my salary. Sometimes the name of the person or company would change, but the voice was the same. This went on for a year before they gave up.

Luckily we hardly used our landline. The harassment made us finally decide to disconnect it and use just our cell phones. Sorry HawaiianTel!

The harassment was stressful, even though the bill wasn't ours. I can imagine it being 10x worse if it really was legit. I can imagine people cracking under the pressure. I guess that's why bill collectors do it. They don't have to lift a finger. They have their computer thugs harass people 24/7. Sucks when they target the wrong people.
