Surprisingly, most complaints point to persistent telemarketing scams that masquerade as credit‑card or solar offers. Callers hop between numbers, often showing up as “Financial Services” or similar generic IDs, making traditional blocking tricky. The most reliable fix is to let the phone ring unanswered; a silent answer deprives scammers of a live response. Register your line with the national Do Not Call list and report repeat offenders to the FTC. Consider enabling carrier‑provided call blockers or third‑party apps that filter based on known spam signatures. Keep your voicemail off and avoid pressing any keypad prompts, as they confirm a working line. Consistent patience usually shrinks the daily volume dramatically.
They try to scare people into paying for something they dont owe, it's a shame, especialy for elderly people who might fall for it. They told me i would be arrested if i didnt pay, which was a lie.
The scam about lowering credit card rates, often associated with someone named Rachel, is well-known, but it's surprising that people still fall for it.
As of September 6, 2016, this number continues to call, leaving no messages but appearing on caller ID.
It's intriguing that informing them of bad credit or a Canadian residence might reduce the frequency of calls; however, this seems like an unorthodox solution.
I keep recieving repeated calls from this number and when i pick up they say nothing, its really anoying
The person on the phone was trying to give me a number, but they kept making mistakkes, saying somthing like 5...4...1...6, then correcting themself to 5...1...4...6, it was pretty amusing actualy
The call, received at 1:15 PM PST, was purportedly from Financial Services, but due to its suspicious nature, it was not answered and is believed to be a generalized scam number.
Despite numerous rings, the caller hung up without leaving a message, with the caller ID displaying FINANCIAL SRVCS
An individual attempted to initiate a relationship via texting from this number, and subsequent calls have been met with music, suggesting a potential catfishing scenario.
Given that most people I wish to speak with call my cell phone, I've found a solution that works for me, although it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who might miss important calls, by keeping my landline's answering machine turned off unless accidentally triggered.
He should use his cell phone for calls instead of his landline, thats what i think
If you turn your answering machine off, Justin, how are people suppose to get through to you, dont you just turn it off when you're not home?
they claimed to be from Solar America, but it was a crappy call and i just hung up
I'm having the same issu Sue, my cell phone is constantly plastered with these junk calls, i never anser them. But whats annoying is that when one group of spam numbers stop calling, another group starts, i think its a ring and the FCC and FTC arent doing enought.
Excellent service, highly appreciated!
The reduction in junk calls you've experienced might be attributed to your answering machine being turned off, as this can prevent callers from leaving messages and reselling your number to other telemarketers.
To effectively stop unwanted calls, it's crucial not to engage with the callers in any way, as even acknowledging them can be seen as a response, and instead, let the calls go to voicemail, allowing the ringing phone to be the only response they receive.
Regarding credit cards, I've informed them that I either don't have any due to bad credit or I always pay them off immediately.
Recieved a call enquiring about my intrest in energy efficent home solutions and posible solar panel instalation
A nuisance call regarding a credit card was received from Belmont, NC.
The latest scam I've encountered involves a call about lowering my interest rate, which I didn't answer, and a robo-call was sent to my voicemail, identified as Financial Svcs, a clear indication of a scam
The frequency of calls from this number is increasing daily, despite being on the No Call List, which seems to be ineffective in stopping them.
An identical experience was had, with a similar call being received.
Another attempt to scam me into reducing my interest rate, this time from a new number.
There's no obligation to answer phone calls; telemarketers rely on individuals who consistently pick up, especially those with live voices, which is essential for their operations; by ignoring unknown calls and being patient, one can significantly reduce the volume of unwanted calls, as numbers without responses become useless to them
The lack of a message after the call, despite repeated blocking attempts, raises questions about how to put an end to these calls.
They call me from this number, and alot of other numbers, pretending to be a cruise company, a credit advisor company, and even a solar home group company, it's ridiculous, they call me at least 4 times a day, and i'm not interested in their scam tactics
Im glad Im not the only one, they call me every day with diferent numbers, Im tired of blocking them, is there a way to stop them?
The caller's identity is unknown.
It's evident that these scammers aim to deceive with promises of lower interest rates, but their true intention is to exploit once they obtain your credit card information, hence I've added their number to my block list to prevent further harassment.
