We had a couple calls from that number but as soon as i registered our new numbers with the do not call list (national) they suddenly stopped. Not saying you're going to have that luck but after you do that, answer, tell them you are on a do not call list and calls are recorded. You are not likely to hear from them again. Actually haven't had solicitors since I did that...but be ready for robo calls...tis the season :)

If you have Comcast Voice phone service you can press * 60 and it will ask you if you want to block the last number called. Press # if you want to put that number on your blocked list. I just recently found out about it by poking around on the internet looking for a way to block unwanted solicitors! I already have 12 numbers on my call rejection list!

A good option on any smartphone is to download a silent ringtone, and then assign unwanted numbers the silent ringtone.
Also on any (I think) smartphone, you could just hit the decline button to reject the call. Eventually maybe the caller will get the hint.

Somehow 3 telemarketers got my wife's cell phone number and we have been experiencing 3-5 calls per day, even more sometimes. It was a real pain in the backside because of the rudeness of no one at the other end acknowledging our "Hello". I just programmed the numbers in the cell with a "Do Not Pickup" as an identifier and programmed the phone to "no Ring". They can call as much as they want to and it wont disturb us. When my wife needs to use her cell phone, she laughs at all the "missed Calls".

When I don't recognize the number on my Caller ID, I push Speaker Phone and just go about my business. A few telemarketers have stopped calling. It is so funny to hear them say "hello" "hello" "hello"? over and over. Dopes!

Sounds like a very risky tactic to take. Impersonating a law enforcement officer is a crime in every US state as far as I know.

If no one answers that's because it's a 'robo call'. They have a computer that can dial dozens of numbers at the same time and whoever answers first they talk to and everybody else hears nothing.
We had a lot of unwanted calls so I contacted my phone company Century Link and asked could they add 'call block' to our phone. They didn't charge me for the service and you can block up to 12 phone numbers. As soon as you get an unwanted call dial *60 and then follow the instructions. It works great, we hardly get a nuisance call anymore and when I do, they're gone forever.

I am having the same problem with my Blackberry. Same number (an English number) same time of day. Blocked it yesterday, but it takes 28 days to take effect :(
Now, the home phone, same problem, but calls coming from overseas call centers. I have been told to let all calls ring out for 5 rings, computers switch off after that, live callers, i.e. 'friends' will wait fo you to answer.

Want to really stop all the commicials calls. Here are the best two statements to use:
1. What are your wearing? (Said in a deep gravely voice.)
2. Are ya naked? (Use same voice.)
You will be taken off the call list immediately.

The FDCPA is a federal law that applies to every state. In other words, everyone is protected by the FDCPA.
