This is one of many numbers that calls me on a regular basis. I blocked it but it seems for every number I block 10 more call. Isn't there some way to just get removed from these lists completely?

Well they just called and when my husband answered he was hung up on.  So I tried a reverse lookup and got nothing. I googled the number and found this thread.  I'm reading all the posts and get the second call from that number. The way I figure it is the first number checks if someone is home, the second call had a live agent.  I listened to Becky's introduction and asked her to remove my number from their call list. Fat lot of good that will do.

They called and let it go to voice mail, hung up, no message.

I have received a call from this number every day for the last 6 days (including saturday)

I have answered every time, from the first to the 4th ring, and EVERYTIME it is a hangup.  I even sat on the line for a few minutes to see if a computer picked up but no.

I am getting extremely annoyed.

I work for a Telco, and have discovered that it very often isn't possible to enter offending numbers - including this one - into your Call Block list. The reason for this is that the number could be simply a display number used by several other "companies" to do their "marketing"...they aren't actual numbers.Though these hang-up calls basically constitute harassment, the police are powerless to do anything (due mainly to the fact that they have much more important things to worry about). The answer needs to come from the government (who is lobbied by big telemarketing firms), or by the telcos (who make big bucks off the spammers).In other words, we're on our own. In my case, I can have the numbers blocked from my line by a programmer at work, but this obviously won't work for the majority. I do also own a "Telezapper", which DOES work--but only when you use the "3-tone" setting. This means every time you pick up your phone to receive or make a call, a three-tone "disconnected line" tone will play. This fools the spammers computers into thinking they've encountered a dead number, and they will drop you from their list. It's annoying, though, so we only use it for a couple of weeks when calls start coming in again.Other tips:  don't give your number out for contests and draws...use your work number instead, if possible. Always use Block Call Display when calling toll-free numbers. Don't give your number to big biz, they WILL all share it sooner or later (Canadian Tire, Zellers, etc. Don't even get me going on Wal-Mart).Lastly, I've found software (IdentaFone Pro) that will work with a dial-up modem on your computer (if you have one) to produce Call Display on your computer (or all your computers across a network). It will announce the caller by number and name, and--most important of all--will block any number or block of numbers you choose, with a choice of message that includes the disconnect signal! I haven't implemented it yet, but a trial worked flawlessly on my computer.Still, it's sad to have to do this.

I am in Saskatoon too. Just got a call ten minutes ago and a hangup. We are on the telemarketer do not call list. Sasktel customers call *57 to mark this number for trace, if they get enough flags on this number they will investigate and hopefully shut them down!
