The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number,
All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want
Report a phone call from 2042724504
How do I stop them from calling?
- Ask the unwanted caller to stop calling and put you on their do not call list (they are legally required to comply).
- If your number is registered with the National Do Not Call Registry you can file a complaint with the FTC.
- Block them with a call blocker:
Uniden DECT1288 blocks up to 20 numbers, plus Private and Unknown, with the reject tone, without ringing the phone.
Panasonic KX-TG106 blocks up to 30 numbers, plus all unidentified callers, with a busy tone, after the phone rings once.
JF Teck Caller ID with Ring Controller blocks up to 70 numbers, and can be set to always allow up to 100 to ring through.

biggest scumbags in winnipeg. push you to take little old ladies' money and try to make you feel good about it when you get the "sale." sends about .5% of the donation to the charity while the fat cats at corporate take the rest of the dough for themselves. no breaks during the day, unless you "earn" them.
what a fucking shithole.'
Another call from these turds @ Xentel, although this time they actually said they were calling from "Chase Xentel" instead of whatever quasi-charity du jour they normally claim to represent. Asked for a member of my family, claiming it to be a "personal call" - yeah right! Called this number back to confirm if it was indeed Xentel (that I didn't mis-hear the name) and got a one-second blast of elevator music followed by ~10 seconds of silence, followed by a fast-busy tone. That one-second music is a classic sign of Xentel and it ties in with the fact that Xentel have a boiler-room operation in Winnipeg MB:
2-287 Broadway
Winnipeg, MB R3C 0R9
