if they keep on disturbing and calling  you  again again after you told them you can take the company to court.Next time be on the phone with them and ask them what company they work for after that tell them that you are not interested and tell them be sure to take you off the calling list.find the company's phone number online and make a compliant

I agree with the first answerer. Try the *69 if you don't have call display, phone your phone company. They can help. They once changed my phone number right away because my ex-husband had found out my number (from our son)and kept phoning and threatening me. If this has been going on for some time I would notify the police also, I hate to have anything bad happen to you esecially if he's saying I see you. Sounds pretty scary to me. Actually, if this has been going on for some time now, notify the police at once, especially if he keeps calling. OR...If the police will not do anything at first, tell the caller you've notified the police and they're going to trace his call and find out where he lives. If this is just a prank caller, someone getting his jollies, the calls will hopefully stop. Good Luck and take care. But do something soon. Don't wait. \n\np.s.\nI don't mean to scare you but this is a scary situation.

Call 1-888-382-1222 if you are in the USA.. it's a national number.. call from the phone you do not want to receive telemarketing calls at.. and that means cell-phones too.\n\nDo it quick.. it takes 31 days to activate.\n\nThen if you receive another telemarketing call make sure you get their mailing address to give them a donation or start up fee..(AS IF YOU WOULD...but it will keep them on the line and willing to give you data).. this is a ploy to get an address to report.  Write down the number from where they called from, then call this number again to report that they broke the contract.  They could be responsible for paying you money for their breaking the law.\n\nThe registry is good for 5 years.\n\nAdding:  From personal experience..It seems as soon as you get on that No Call list you get TWICE the amount of telemarketing calls as you received before.. (Have to wonder if there is a 'heads up to telemarketers' list being sold so they call all blast you with phone calls before it's illegal for them to)\n\nI had 3 calls yesterday and 2 the day before last week was similar.. and I signed up 2 weeks ago  :(

As stated above is true, but Federal, State and County Government can still call you, If you have telemarketers still calling you, Do a few simple thing and you can get $$ from fines they get, Get their phone #, Company Name and the Person you talk to Name and Date, Time,  Report them to the States ATT General after the first offense(they give them one) They get fined 500$ which you get 2nd offense 1000$ which you get 3rd offense can get upwards of 10,000$ which you get and Next step is the Company losing their rights to telemarket.

the do not call list is for solicitors, such as someone selling something.\n\nIf someone is collecting a debt, that is different.\n\nIf you have clearly proven to them that the debt is not yours, you can possibly sue them for harassment.  Start off by sending a certified letter to them telling them to cease and desist contacting you.  If they continue, then sue them.

Most calls I receive that display an 800 prefix and don't leave messages are almost certainly telemarketers.  My guess is that's who called you.

The Do Not Call Registry was designed to stop cold sales calls.  Nothing more.\n\nCharitable organizations, political candidates, and other fund raising organizations (such as Fraternal Order of Police) are exempt from the Statute.  Unfortunately, that means if you have a public telephone number, they can still call.\n\nAbout the only recourses you have are the following......use a cell phone as a home number (there is no definitive listing for them) OR have your number changed to a non published one (and make sure it's a new number, not an old one....you have to ask for it to get it).  Neither of these are guarantees, but you will reduce the number of calls, if not eliminate them altogether.

If you are getting the phone calls at home then you can contact your phone company and place a block on the number that is calling you.  If the calls are coming from an anonymous number then you can get Anonymous Call Rejection added to your line so that when a person calls you and blocks their number your phone never rings.  If you are getting the phone calls on your cell phone then you’re not as lucky.  Unlike landline phones, cell phone companies don't currently offer Anonymous Call Rejection service. If the person that is calling you happens to be blocking their number then there isn’t much you can do. However, if the person that is calling you is not blocking their number then you can just keep your phone from ringing when they call. All you have to do is add the person's phone number in your cell phone's address book, and then set the custom ring for that person to silent. This means that your phone will ring normally for your calls, but stay silent when that person you are trying to avoid calls. The only downside to this is that the person will still appear in your missed calls log every time they call you.

Get privacy manager. That usually stops the unwanted call. And if it doesn't they have to tell you who is calling. An operator comes on the phone and asks you if you want to accept the call or no. That has stopped a ton of unwanted calls at my house.

i may not be a female, but i do know the answer to this question.\n\nif you want to permanently solve this problem, just block her number from calling you, change your phone number and make sure it is unlisted, or go to the police and get a no contact/restraining order

~Wait for them to get in touch with you.  That's what the "Do Not Call" movement is all about.  What is it about your ego that makes you think those people want to hear from you?

Call your cell service and tell them not to allow restricted calls to your phone.  When they call a recorded message will say "the person you have called does not accept call from private callers", then they have to unblock it first by pressing *82.

Fiirst the phone company, get your number changed if you have to and then report it to the police.  Ask the phone company to trace where the calls are coming from or get a incoming calls listing from the phonne company.\n\nHope this helps.  good luck

You try calling your mobile company to ask for a phone no. list. But usually they can't give you unless you have a valid reason (eg. calls after midnight) and maybe a police report.\nYou will need to note down what time the calls come in and ask your mobile company to check whether the no. is the same. Ask them whether they can block the no. for you. If the calls keep coming in for more than 10 times during unreasonable time, you can ask them to give the no. to the police. And let the law do it's work!

Call your service provider. Most phone companies have anti-nuisance call services and they will know how to handle the situation.
