(704) 837-1315

I just got phoned by this number earlier today and a***n about two minutes ago. It is 96.9 The Kat radio station asking if I wanted to win $500.00. As thought THAT is going to happen. So much for being on the "Do Not Call List".

I have been so BUSY all day, the last thing I needed was 3 more of these calls.  One at 9:27AM, 11;00AM, and a***n at 3:05PM.  L3 has not responded and I am going to send a second email as soon as I am through posting.  If they don't respond - I will file the FCC a***nst them.

I have been receiving calls from this number for the last several weeks.  The call terminates when I answer.  When I dial the number I get a message that it is not a valid number.  What gives?

NEW INFO - I used my detective s****s and traced back the VOIP provider to Level 3 Communications.  I have emailed a complaint of abuse to chris.hardm****evel3.com who has been extremely helpful in the past from tracing their clients to be removed.In the VOIP world, with enough complaints they will drop the customer for breaking the terms of service and abuse.  This is a hot topic and the VOIP provider could be held liable under existing laws for their clients abusing the VOIP system to harass people.The provider of service is reputable, so I recommend filing abuse complaints with them at [email protected]

Mor e**** up calls today.  It's been a few weeks, I hope they just stop.  I tried calling back to get on the DNC list and the phone is not a working number.In my experience, probably not for permissible purposes.

This number dials us two to three times a day.  Really annoying when you have to drop everything to answer.

Another **** up call.The FCC responded and claims that **** up calls are suddenly legal.  I say if a number gets too many complaints, they will trace it back to the provider.

Another call - no message

3 calls yes****ay and another one today.  It is DEAD Air.  You pick up and no one responds.  Tried claling back and number is not in service. I would recommend filing a complaint with the FCC.  being the number is "not in service" whomever it is is using a VOIP phone and mirroring the Caller ID.  Meaning that they have a bar ****s line that is for outgoing calls only and they manipulated the code to make it appear as if there is a number so call block (unknown callers) is averted.  Better chance of getting through.There is a way to trace it, but you need significant resources to do it.  It isn't easy.  With enough complaints, it will more than likely get ***ped to the proper authorities to investigate.https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do

Three more calls after my last post two in the afternoon and another last night around 10PM.  They are s****ing all over a***n this morning.I tried calling back - and it said the number can't be completed as dialed.If anyone finds out who they are, please post.

Another **** up call.Here is the FCC link to complain http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

Same thing here - a **** up call and when you call them back, you can't get through.  This is relatively easy for a hacker to pull a VOIP number at random to make it appear as a legit number.  (I work and hold certification in Data Security and do work relating to ID theft).  When you get a bad# like this after it comes up on the caller ID, chances are the company is not legit, is piggybacking off a US number but in actuality is from another country that does not practice extradition with the US to phish for personal information - whether it be trying to "sell" you so****ing that requires you to give personal information or whatever.  NEW LAWS - As of 12/1/08 all these automated calls will be required to do the following:1) They must prove you responded to some type of marketing that gives them explicit permission to use autmated dialing.  (same as with email/SPAM now).  2) They must s**** their automated message within 2 seconds of pick up.  3) They must tell provide you an automated instant Opt Out of calls (by hitting a ****on on the phone).4) For voice mails picking up they have to provide an toll free number to automatically be removed from the call list. The bad news is, collection agencies and non-profits are exempt from the laws.  I think this is awful because I am constantly harassed by collection agencies who have the wrong number looking for people who I don't even know. (I've had my same # for 10 years - no excuses for that harassment).  The best thing I can suggest is keep people in the loop on forums like this and file formal complaints with the FCC.  Enough smoke is ****n about a given number and eventually someone will investigate and put a trace out.  If it is legit, they will be fined heavily, if it isn't they will transfer to another number and the process will s**** a***n.

Let's report them. I'm sick of the calls.

Yes, here I am A***N - they've called twice today.  What gives?!  I've already reported them to the DO NOT CALL list several times - how do I make these annoying calls stop???  They never answer when I pick up, if I don't pick up they don't leave a message, and when I call THEM back, I get a signal/tone like you get when your call drops to let you know the line is clear.  SO FRUSTRATING!

Calling at all hours (6 a.m. today!) Never leaves a message or says a thing.

Calling for weeks.  When call came in this a.m., I picked up but did not answer.  After 2 minutes, caller came on - Brontus Software.  Told them we were retired, not in business and take off list.

Called A***N...I said HI twice this time (instead of 3x), no answer, I ***g up.  I'm on the Do Not Call list - truly ANNOYING!

They've called at least 3x now...they never answer my "Hello" when I pick u****** and annoying - I'm on the Do Not Call list and have reported them.

Same thing, answer and they **** up.

Called earlier and ***g up.  Jotted down the number to try to figure out who it was.

I couldn't reach the phone in time and they didn't respond to my "Hello"s.I immediately redialed the number and it said "your call cannot be completed as dialed - please check the number and dial a***n".  So they are somehow faking or forging the caller id number.  What does that say about the legitimacy of their business?

Called on 2 different days - I pick up, say HI about 3x, then **** up, cause no one answers.  Annoying!

called for rommate; would not leave a message or say who was callingCaller ID: North Carolina

same thing here

Called, then wouldn't answer when I picked up, so I ***g up after saying, "Hello" three times.

This company is calling about business services.  Sounds like they are trying to sell your business or if it's a new number for you the past business accouting services.   They are allowed to do this as they are not subject to the DNS list and when I told them I was not interested they immediately stopped calling.

This number just called me. I answered the phone, it ***g up on me. No message left. So I Googled the number to see who it was. I found this page, and complaints similar to mine.

Same; keeps calling and doesn't leave a message. When I call back I get a recording saying the "call can not be completed as dialed".

called 2x no msg left

Called twice today no message, have seen their number on id this last week a couple other times. no info though
