They are scammers!!

Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru. If you do not know how, call their custommer support!

But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:

Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.

It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!

Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!

if you have verizon you can block their number but i dont know if other services offer this

Conversation went as such:

  Telemarketer: Hi this is Dwayne, i hear you are interested in lowering your mortgage today

  Me: Absolutely not! Seeing as I do not have a mortgage, I have nothing to lower

  Telemarketer: Well stop hitting buttons and you should be all set.

  Me: Well how about these calls, seeing as I have gotten a few from them, I'd like to know how you got my number, and for you to stop calling it.

  Telemarketer: *Hangs Up*

 When calling this number right back.  It gets one ring, and then immediately disconnects.

same here

continuous call backs and no message.  How many times do they have to get no ans before they get the message????
