Yes...I just received a call.  Didn't recognize number, so ignored. Left vm saying something about putting a sign in my yard...i am sure its a bs call...But I am truly pissed because 3 people have my cel number, and these folks ain't one of them.  Can anyone tell me how they get my number if only 3 people that are important to me have it and no one else. I do not use the number on any correspondence or any forms.  Any suggestions would be appreciated to help me get rid of telemarketers on my cel phone. And I realize the Do Not Call list is a joke...

thanks

They get the numbers by simply plumbing a bunch of numbers into dialers or computers. Thats all they have to do. They don't recognize unlisted numbers.The DNC isn't a call blocker, its a database for honest business. The complaints are also a database for all agency's to use.  

Google your cell phone and see if there is a free call blocking app.

Just received a call from this number. Voicemail stated they wanted to place a sign in my yard. Have no idea who they are as I am supposed to be on the Do Not Call List.

I always get this type of phone call or ruther when I post my opinion on a specific topic on the internet. The one I remember best is the M.I.C. crashed my computer once and for all. Luck ally laptops are cheap. This would be a Government type call.

They left a message about a home security system and placing a sign in my yard.
