Received a call from this number on my caller ID. This is the second telemarketing group calling recently after a long break from it, and I can't think of how or why they could have gotten my number. My home number is private and unlisted, as far as I know.

The caller ID says Ellis Island Funding, so I did some searching for the name and the location (found it to be Lomita, CA). I found the company information below:

So, no, you did not win a sweepstakes or anything else they tell you.

I want them to not have any access to my number...

I HAVE TOLD THIS SAME COMPANY NOT TO CALL ME 8 TIMES NOW AND TO PUT ME "ON THEIR DO NOT CALL LIST" AND THEY STILL KEEP CALLING 1 TIME OR 2 TIMES A MONTH THEY CALL THEMSELVES PUBLISHERS HEADQUARTERS IN LOMITA,CA THEY TRY TO SAY MY BANK GAVE IT TO THEM BUT I WORK F0R THE BANK I USE IN THEIR COLLECTIONS DEPT THEY ARE SO ANAL RETENTIVE ABOUT PEOPLES INFORMATION ITS CRAZY SO THEY LIE SO I AM GOING TO REPORT THEM TO THE FCC THE MORE PEOPLE WHO REPORT THEM THE LARGER THEIR FIND WILL BE IF ANYONE WANTS TO DO THE SAME U CAN FILE A COMPLAINT ONLINE AT http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

They've called several times, they don't answer when I pick up, and they leave no messages when I don't.  Kind of creeped out/annoyed.

I GOT A CALL FROM THIS "COMPANY" WHEN I ANSWERED THE PHONE I WASN'T IN THE MOOD TO HEAR A TELEMARKTER SO I SAID PLEASE TAKE ME OFF YOUR CALLING LIST AND HUNG UP. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER THE JERK CALLED BACK AND SAID I CALLED YOU BACK TO HANG UP ON YOU. AND HUNG UP ON ME. I HAD A LITE STROKE A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO AND DO NOT NEED THIS FROM SOME JERK TELEMARKTER
