Beuford, we are in a war against these monsters. We pay enough for our telephone service (just as some of us do to Yahoo!) to keep ads off our connections. We should be free of all kinds of commercial calls. Yet somewhere, someone with connections (by phone, political, and commercial) is making money. So we have to suffer indignities like these.

Continually receive calls from 434-338-6817 (Charlottesville, VA #) for a SECURITY SYSTEM that they tell me "A CLOSE FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER MUST HAVE PURCHASED FOR YOU'. When I ask whom they have as the purchaser, they ignore me. They call at least once a week, if not more. Not sure if this is a desperate attempt to make money or a group of people trying to get access to your home. Either way, they are a scam.

i got a call with this number on the caller id today, but i will use *57 call trace, since it is obviously an illegal scam call. i have used *57 before to get rid of these type of callers for good, it seems to work. the phone co. can trace them even if they gave a bogus number on caller id i guess. It may cost me a dollar on the phone bill to use call trace, but it's worth it imo.
caller id had "unknown" caller, with the number 971-300-4514.

This number belongs to scammers and I am on the do not call list .

My first experience with this number, at least within memory.  I do not ever answer calls from unknown numbers but I trace them online- and will simply add my report to this growing list.
