If you are fortunate like I am , that can speak 4 different languages other than English...do that..it totally messes with them and they get so annoyed that you speak a different language they take your number off their list and never call again.

keep bothering

What a jerk, can't take a hint. Same problems most people seem to be having, so I reported them to the FCC and in the meantime, I answer the phone with my harmonica and play them a 30 second ditty (and I can't play the harmonica)

nuisance calling continuous

This caller is so persistent, it's been 9 days, multiple calls a day and I couldn't get them to stop. That is, until I found a helpful blog comment of calling 866-246-7196. Initially, I was reluctant but without another way to stop the harassment, I called, as per requested I gave the caller's phone number to verify it's on their list and the receiving phone number to add to the do not call list. I'm so happy the calls stopped, I wanted to post this to help others.

File a complaint at FCC.GOV

I called back and pressed 1 to stop the calls, but the keep calling me two or three times a day.

The National Do-Not-Call Registry was a good start and 90+ percent of legitimate companies respect and use it. The remaining scum telemarketers will keep changing tactics and dancing around the DNCR and will only ever respond to what hurts their bottom line. My solution requires a bit of time and effort, but then, so does sex… These tactics may not be a satisfying as sex, but they ARE satisfying and have the added bonus of helping to fix one of life’s perpetual annoyances:
1) ALWAYS answer the phone – if we are running away, the “terrorists” win. ALWAYS “press 1” to talk to an Operator.
2) When you get an actual person, express reluctant interest in whatever product or service is being hawked. Talk slowly and ask lots of questions. Always give phony personal info like CC#, SS#, address, heck even change your name slightly. Keep them on the line as long as possible.
3) Try to get as much info about the company as possible and file a BBB complaint (“Unethical Sales Practices”). A national energy company recently revamped their entire telemarketing policies in regard to the DNCR in response to a BBB complaint I filed – this CAN work.
4) If the product involves your home, set up an appointment for a time that you are not home, or just don’t answer the door. This can cost a company a LOT of money and resources.
Remember, the goal is to cost these companies time, money, and maybe more importantly, to make it impossible for them to know if they are talking to a sucker, or just another Phone Punker. Be creative, have fun, and feel proud that YOU are helping to eliminate one of life’s many intractable and seemingly un-fixable problems.

Apparently Auto Insurance - I would NEVER do business with a company that regularly breaks the law by disregarding the National Do-Not-Call Registry.

Number 1-916-347-0717 try to call me and is blocked. But when my phone receives a call from that number my music saved on my phone starts to play random songs. Very strange!

UPDATE:
Just a little helpful information. Asking to be taken off of their call list did not make a difference. The number of times that they called me lessened but they still called 12 times within the next three days. I answered each time that they called and asked them to stop calling me. When that did not work I filed a complaint with the FCC. The next time that they called me, I waited until there was a person on the line and told them nicely that I had filed a report with the FCC to please stop calling me. They have not called again since. This may be something that someone else wants to try if they become to much of a nuisance. Good luck all!

REPEATEDLY calls and identifies himself as someone different each time, calling about auto insurance. It is the same person. I have asked nicely the first 8 or 10 times to DO NOT CALL ME. I am on the national do not call list since 2002. They call anyway at least once or twice a week. Sometimes just hangh up when I tell them to not call again. I have reported them to our attorney general's office. They just laugh and say they won't do anything about it.

They called me, but its out of my area, so I let the answering machine take it, they kept saying, "hello hello", & there was a lot of voices & noise in the back ground, I finally picked up the receiver & broke the connection, & hung up... my caller I D said "Auto Insurance" & this number.. I let the phone ring 4 times & let the answering machine "kick in".. if its Telly's or other scams" they usually hang up then...just don't talk to them...

916-347-0717 has been calling for 8 times in 2 days. Nobody responded and hung up. I am so sick and tried of these telemarketing call. Registered in 'Do Not Call', but it doesn't work well. Hey 916-347-0717.....stop calling, loser!
