Call came in on Tuesday December 20, 2011 at 9:45AM. It was someone speaking on behalf of the American Heart Association. They are looking for volunteers to send out a mailing in February 2012 to 12 homes in the volunteer's neighborhood. The American Heart Association will mail the volunteer a packet of literature and envelopes. The volunteer agrees to pay the postage to mail the AHA solicitations to their neighbors. Once you get on this volunteer list, they will call you for future campaigns; and may even pass your contact information on to other agencies so they can ask you to volunteer for them in the same capacity.
BEST IF YOU ASK THEM TO REMOVE YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER FROM THEIR CALLING LIST!

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! This call came in @ 3:10 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I've received MANY calls in the past from Cardholder Services, but never did it come in along with the name ROBERT KENNEDY on the Caller ID. When I answered the telephone, an automated recording started its pitch about lowering my credit card balances. If you ever try to call back these Cardholder Services numbers, your call can never be completed. If a business is legitimate, why would it be so hard to return their call?

This automated call came in@12:41PM on Tuesday, July 5, 2011. It's an offer (scam?) to lower interest rates on your credit cards.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW WE CAN STOP OR BLOCK THESE CALLS? They seem to come in under many different numbers.

This call came in at 7:55PM. Upon answering, the song "It's Friday" starts playing. Then a recording comes on to say, "Congratulations, you have just been Rebbeca Rolled". I hung up before the call ended. Later, I looked up "It's Friday" on YouTube and found that it's sung by a young person named Rebecca Black.

This call came in at 6:22PM on Friday June 10. When I answered, the man asked for my spouse. The call was regarding our Consumer Reports subscription. It's time to renew.

12:49PM - - This is Charter Communications Cable & Internet trying to sell you more services. They never leave a message.
12:50PM - - This call was 2 days later on Fri, Sep. 17, 2010. No message left. Notice the time is close to the previous call they made to my #. Must be a computer-dialed call.

If you don't want to be bothered by these calls, ask to have your name and telephone number removed from their Calling List.

Received a call from 202-870-5882 at 1:25PM on Thursday, May 5, 2010.
It's a solicitor for the American Institute for Cancer Research.
They asked for me by name and wanted to know if I would commit to
a campaign by paying for postage out of my own pocket to send 12 envelopes
to my neighbors, asking them to donate money to the AICR. When I told the
man I would not be able to participate, he continued the conversation and
wanted to know the reason why I could not help. I hung up on him. Don't
these solicitors know "NO" means "NO"? They are invading my privacy and
my solitude. Why do I have to give them a reason I'm unable to participate?

Male solicitor on behalf of a local organization's fundraiser. I'll get more details if he calls back.

They called regarding a payment I forgot to make by the Due Date of April 24. Today is April 30.

I WISH WE COULD BLOCK ALL NUMBERS WE DON'T WANT BOTHERING US.
This call came in on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 6:44pm.
It was in regard to a current subscription to Better Homes and Gardens being received at our address.
The person they asked for was not at home, so we don't know the full extent of what the call was about.
The Caller ID showed "Graven Austin" which, according to Google, is a Colorado firm (Graven Austin & Drake, Inc.) offering call, telemarketing, and database management services.
Their website is gadtelecom.com

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME TO --RESUBMIT-- ALL OUR PHONE NUMBERS TO THE "DO NOT CALL" LIST.

This cold call came in at 11:21 AM on Monday, January 25, 2010.
It sounded like it was a pre-recorded SALES call by a male from some sort of upholstery cleaning business.
After listening to the sales pitch for several seconds, I hung up.
With a basic search, the call appears to originate in Byram Connecticut, of which I've NEVER heard.
A web map shows Byram to be in southwestern CT, almost at the New York state line.
Even if I was looking for an upholstery cleaning service, I would not do business with a company located on the complete opposite side of the state from where I reside.

My guess is this is very likely a SCAM!
This AUTOMATED call came in on Monday, January 18, 2010 at 12:26 PM. We've received calls like this before.
At first you think it's your credit card company, but it's a company with a vague name trying to get you to
give out your credit card information supposedly to help you lower your credit card rate. I would not put
any trust in a company that does not allow its name to appear on the Caller ID. Hang up on them! I don't
know how they can call when we are on the Do Not Call Registry. There's no way to identify them to report
them for calling a Do Not Call registrant.

The Caller ID showed "ADS" 303-255-5001 at 5:16 PM on October 28, 2009. I answered. After I said hello twice, a man came on the line.
He was calling on behalf of "Woman Within" (mailorder clothing company) to say that an account was past due. He was willing to take a
payment over the telephone, but I told him I do not make telephone payments and that I'd go online today to pay the amount owed.
I do not recall seeing any statements come in the mail. It's possible I thought they were junk mail and could have thrown them out.
This company "ADS" had called earlier today using the number 303-255-5139. If you've recently purchased stuff from a similar mailorder
clothing company, it's a legitimate telephone call. It wouldn't catch people off guard if the company would only call under their real name.

My Caller ID shows that a call came in from "ADS" 303-255-5139 at 10:36 AM on October 28, 2009.
I did not recognize the name "ADS" on the Caller ID, so I told the man the person they were asking
for was not at home and I offered to take a message. He said he'd call back later, which he did
under a different number for "ADS". I'll make an additional report on the second number when I
finish with this one. I thought the call might be from one of the Diabetes groups, but I was wrong.
I later found out it was a representative for the "Woman Within" (mailorder clothing company) to say an
account was 2 payments behind. He was willing to take the past due payment over the telephone, but
I told him I'd make the payment online today.

The first call from 913-563-5504 showing "WFNNB" on the Caller ID, came in at 8:10 AM on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. I was not near the telephone and was unable to pick up.
They called back only 18 minutes later. When my answering machine picked up, WFNNB did not leave a message. I'm assuming it was a computer generated dialing. If they call
back today, I will answer the telephone and let "WHO CALLED" know what they wanted. Who knows, maybe I forgot to pay a bill. If I did, it would only be one month late, so
that would rule out it being from a collection agency.
