ROBO Call ***

Have asked multiple times to stop being called. they never stopped. complained with parent company they bought our number from, Complained with better business bureau, complained with the FCC, and national DNC registry. beyond harassment at this point. this is a never ending cycle of being called repeatedly. 15-20 times a day, and it never ends. No matter how many times you ask them to stop, who you call, what you say it never ends. I don't understand how this still happens in this day and age. these people really really need to be put out of business. It's beyond ridiculous.

Mr.

These people call and try to sell you an security system. During the call , they give you the oppurtunity to have your # placed on their "no call " list , which I've done many times. They keep calling back. They use several #'s and names I am on the federal and local NO CALL list. it's a waste of time to register a complaint on the so called "no call " web site. Its just like the rest of our Government services. All talk and NO show. Why dosen't the f.c.c. do something about this type of call ?. I'm sure they know about these calls. I've recieved as many as 4 calls in one day . Some as late as 9:00 P.M.

206-496-**** Pacific Telecom Group doesn't exist

this number appears on my cell phone tow or three times a week. when I try to call it back I get a recorded message that the number is non-existant...not an operating number. when I wait for their robo call message to end and wait for a warm body body, as soon as I tell them to cease, they hang up. Apparently there is nothing AT&T can do about it unless I spend another $5 a month on my bill to have them block the call, another rip off. I am tempted to go visit a Verizon store and change my plan and cell phone number.

Unwanted calls

Despite being on a federal no-call list, I have received repeated calls from this company. At first, I just hung up but I was so fed up with the constant calling that I "pressed one" to speak to a salesman. When I spoke to a "salesman" purporting to sell google ads he asked my name and just as he launched into his spiel, I told him that I was not a business but a senior citizen and asked him to take my number off the call list. He didn't bother replying and just hung up on me without a word.

Repeated scam calls

Since the Federal Govt now knows that Pacific Telecommunications Group is sponsoring numerous illegal calls violating the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY list, why doesn't our Govt take action. This company is scamming military familes in particular about "free" GE security systems and bothering everybody else by trying to steal identities in claiming to lower credit card interest rates. These are scams. These calls violate the REGISTRY. It is time our Govt did something about all these calls. There are laws that need to be enforced. Laws that are not enforced simply do not exist. Write your congressman about the waste of money managing the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY.

I live in NJ. I get numerous daily calls from telemarketers.

I am on the Do Not Call list (what a joke that is). The majority of the time I let the answering machine pick up; 95% of the time they hang up and sometimes they leave messages . It's always the same ones Rachael from card services, someone offering free security, and someone offering senior alert systems incase I fall. On occasion I pick up and ask them to kindly stop calling; and sometimes I am so pissed that I get nasty with them.

I ask for their supervisor and they tell me they are the supervisor. I had one female laugh in my face and say ha ha unfortunately for you I have your number and I will pass it on to everyone. I had a foreign speaking male ask me for my cup size. I even get calls from my own telephone number.

I tried reporting to the do not call list but you can only enter three numbers that call you at a time and that would take me all day to keep going in and entering. Not that anything would happen. I tried calling my carrier (Verizon) and the tell me to call the national scam number. When you get through to them you get more of the same.

I am really sick and tired of unwanted calls. I guess I could try getting in touch with the politicians....but wait...they're the ones who passed a bill to allow these unsolicited calls; so I guess I'm screwed there as well. There must be some way to stop this madness. Why don't they go get a real job?

Is their life so unfulfilled that they have to sit at home on the telephone and harass people all day? Are there any solutions?

Rude and Unprofessional

My morning was interrupted by a third call from this pushy group. Last month I had opted to have my number removed from their calling list but they failed to do it. So, this time I entered to speak to a human and as soon as I started complaining about the call, she hung up on me! You call back the number listed on my phone and this sleazy company has a recording that the number is disconnected! What can can be done to stop them from harassing me? Strangers are constantly trying to manipulate me. Now this post INSISTS that I write a review of NO LESS than 100 words!!!! What a pushy world this has become!

Pacific Telecommunications

I have tried to stop the phone calls from this company and so far have failed! According to the call back information, they are disconnected numbers, and there are many numbers I have listed...starting at 6:00am until 10:02pm every day...What is wrong with Washington state that they have no control over these scammers??? I do NOT, and I do mean, NOT own a credit card, life insurance, a home, I do NOT have diabetes! These calls have been coming in to me since August 2012 and are still continuing even up until this week, December 2012. I have a landline and had no clue that these idiots are allowed to harass us senior citizens on a daily basis, I'm soon to be 70 yrs. old and would like to find a way to stop these menacing calls...Oh yeah, I don't speak Spanish either, some of them speak Spanish to me! I have never spoken or understood Spanish! If you need, I can supply lots of numbers about 15 or more!

Bastards will not stop harrassing me with calls!!!!!!

Twice daily for weeks get phone calls and have followed instructions to have number removed. Bastards just do not stop!!!!!!!!!! Then when I use their "call back number" it is, of course, a number no longer in service. I am on a NATIONAL DO NOT CALL LIST, yet they persist with annoying and unwanted calls. How did they get my number to begin with and why doesn't the numerous complaints against them get any results??????? It would seem the federal government could provide all of us with some type of action that would prevent such scammers from continuing to "merrily go on the way" with their daily bombardment of such trash.

I agree with the rest of the people being pissed about these calls and being on the no call list. I think the call call list is a crock anymore because I have reported alot of numbers and nothing is done.

These people are really bad I've told them over and over not to call because I have a security system and they hang up on me.Pressing number 2 or what ever doesn't work either. I also have called the number back and told it has been disconnected,how the *** can that be possible? How is it possible to show a number that is not a number?

The government apparently can't do squat and the phone companies either. It's *** just like everyone else has said

Sales Call

Received a call from this company about lowering my interest rate. When I talked to the female employee and realized they service all credit card companies. I told her that I was not interested and that i did not have any info with me. She said that it was ok, they would keep calling and calling and calling with a very sarcastic attitude. I am trying to find a way to get me off their call list. I do wish they would make telemarketing illegal. It would also be nice if there was an actual way to call these people back without getting a diconnect number.

Unwanted telemarketing calls...

Too many unwanted calls regarding home security system. We have a complete system and need no further assistance from your organization. I have asked to be removed from your call list. Our next report goes to FCC..the number registered on my Caller ID is "259-382-****"......PLEASE CEASE IMMEDIATELY!!!! I don't need one hundred words to get this very simple and very clear message. But based on past experiences with your phone callers it appears it may require all those words. So this gets accepted my message is PLEASE STOP CALLING WE DON'T NEET A SECURITY SYSTEM...STOP STOP STOP STOP

Dirt Bags Will Not Remove My Number From Calling List

This company has repeatedly called me and after at least 20 requests to have my number removed they either hang up on me or say they have removed it. I have been hung up on so many times after politely (and I mean politely asking to speak to a supervisor or requesting help with having my number removed). HELP This is so annoying. This is my business phone and this is a waste of my time!!! They have been calling for months. Please make it stop!!! What happened to the do not call list. I am on it. Isn't this against the law. This is harassment!!

Just received 2 calls from them yesterday. One at my work and one on my cell phone.

No messages were left and when I called back, I got the same, the number is not in service. My calls were received on Comcast and Sprint, not sure how to get rid of them...

Bill

Pacific telecom is impossible to reach, I tracked their address to INCORP in Henderson,NV which is their registered agent. Steve Hamilton is listed as the only principle for Pacific Telecom and the address given is the same as INCORP.They took my name and number and said they would pass it along to have someone from Pacific Telecom contact me, as they could not give out client information. of course this is a lot of bull. Perhaps we could mount a campaign to give INCORP a little of Telecoms service. Maybe if enough people would harass INCORP they would get tired of it too. TEL 702-866-****

Seven times in the last two weeks I received calls from this company (?) after pressing "2" to delete my number from their call list. And I'm on a "do not call" federal government list. Might just as well have been *** in the wind with these people. Can anyone stop these freaks of nature?? You can try to be interested in the service in order to get as much information as possible, but when you ask for their company name, they become abusive and accuse yyou of being nasty and not letting them complete their speil. Should you persist, or ask what the monthly amount is, or -God forbid- ask for a copy of the contract, they go ballistic and break the connection. What grave sin did I commit to deserve this?

Non-Existent Number

I'd really like to learn how these *** can use a number that doesn't exist to call me about something I could care less about. On one level it is annoying to say the very least. On another it should be very scary for anyone out there using cloud technology to discover that some random organization can covertly access telecommunication equipment for their own purposes, and obviously not pay for it. You would think communications suppliers would be interested in stopping that because that's how they make money. That even when the numbers are provided to suppliers, those suppliers have no way to stop it. Think about that the next time you hear cloud technology is the future and they try to sell you/your organization on the idea that storing and accessing information about bank accounts, human resource files, etc., is the way to go...

Nothing that you do will stop them from calling you. The major players behind this have made millions of dollars, which means that they are too big to fail.

One of the major players specializes in aiding the rich with tax evasion and shell corporations set up in Belize. You can bet that the well to do in this country are not getting lower your credit card interest rate calls and due to that fact our government just considers a few phone calls a minor annoyance.

The FCC has temporarily halted 5 of the minor non profitable boiler rooms. They will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since the major money is being made with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like .telephonemanagement.net

In their own words: Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.

You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their *** then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet. The only way to stop this is to contact the FBI and ask why this crime family is allowed to operate and facilitate the ongoing criminal operations. This is one of the reasons that the RICO act was put in place, so why aren't they using it. Is this because this isn't a high profile, news worthy operation or is the FBI too understaffed and busy with Homeland Security issues. Maybe if we were rich they would take this seriously, but then if we were rich we would be using that criminal organizations services and protecting them instead of trying to shut them down.
