The point is, this is the 3rd time this week I've taken this SAME call from 'the Captain' with the SAME offer, UGH! If only there was a way to find out who was calling so I could call them up and give them a piece of my mind and perhaps get my number off their list!
Well, now there is a reverse phone look up service that can trace any phone number and let you know where the call is coming from and who it is! Callerbase.com can be used for telephone and cell phone numbers in the US and Canada and there is no way for them to know you are researching the information. Have you ever gotten a missed call from an unknown number and they don't leave you a message? Well, look the number up on Callerbase.com and see who it is before returning the call, you may not want to at all!

I love this call! The fog horn brightens up my day...then I hang up. Much better than some of the other scamsters out there conducting 'market research'...pah
I hate that M/F to no end. I get that call many times a day! Carefull with that one because I think they actually charge you for picking up the phone. Too bad i can not trace it since the number is 000-000-0000
I really can't stand this one. What happens is that when I am not home this call uses up all my answering machine space. It doesn't start the sales spiel until it picks up a voice, even a television sound will trigger the sales pitch, but if nobody is home then it goes into Phone off the hook mode and the operator comes on telling (me) to hang up and try again. Then the off hook beeping starts and goes on forever.
Shaw Digital phone techs have suggested some ways to try to get their network to block it, but the problem with this call is it is listed as Out of Area on caller ID and the number noted is 0000000000. All zeroes as Anonymous has noted as well. There is no such number as an all zero number.
I believe the network itself should simply block any numbers using such a designation because they are not real numbers.
I had this happen too. but then I pressed the #9 on the keypad when prompted and then it took me to a "thank you for removing yourself from _______ marketting"
then that was the end of it. havent heard from them since.
