I have recieved about 30 calls from this number over the past two weeks. Usually no one says anything, one time they asked for someone else and then hung up.

The number that shows on caller ID is 800-553-1077. When you call it back, you cannot get through.

Telemarketer violating the Do Not Call list law. Unclear whether they are legitimately representing who they claim to be calling for.
"Kira - 15 Oct 2007 Said he was from AIG giving $25 gas vouchers for just looking at their $2 million accidental death insurance. I asked to be removed from their calling list. We'll see. Caller ID: "Unknown Name" Caller: Says AIG
Dave - 17 Oct 2007 They have called everyday this week. I have an unlisted # and been on the national do not call list and the Texas do not call list forever. Caller ID: 800-553-1077
Cheli - 30 Oct 2007 Like Kira above, I was offered a gas voucher for a "free" trial subscription to their disability insurance. The caller claimed to be calling on behalf of my mortgage company. I suspect the owner of this phone number is a telemarketing agency that acts as a clearing house for many banks, loan companies, insurance companies and the like and makes calls on their behalf. All I know is that if listing my number on the Do Not Call Registry really is working, then I'd hate to know how many calls I'd receive otherwise. Caller ID: 800 Service
AJ - 12 Nov 2007 This is actually a collection agency called Allied Interstate. They are known for their rudeness and say anything to get money out of people. On another webpage, people have claimed that they first say they are from a national fire insurance company to make sure they have reached the home of the person they are looking for and then once verified, they call again from Allied Interstate. I refuse to do business with them even though they are a collection agency and am working with the creditor directly instead so I just ignore their calls. All you have to do is do a search on Allied Interstate and you will read how terrible they are. Caller ID: 1-800-553-1077 Caller: Allied Interstate Collection Agency
Kate - 13 Dec 2007 Returned call and a recording identified the company as National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh PA wanting to sell life insurance. Caller ID: Unavailable Caller: National Union Fire Insurance Co
Jean - 12 Feb 2008 Once again they called. Claiming to be calling all of Wells Fargo customers. Wells Fargo claims they know nothing about this company and have not sold or given out any information on their clients. This same bunch has called from other 800 Service numbers and claiming to be calling from other businesses, such as Fingerhut. This is what they are using to get around the Do Not Call list, claiming to be from businesses or companies you already do business with, event though they aren't. If you ask them too many questions, they hang up. Each call is a different person. I do honestly believe this is a scam and the majority of those that are calling are suckered into believing they are making honest sales calls and getting paid by the call. One of those "make money at home" jobs. Where are they getting this information? Who knows...your trash?..online? A disgruntled employee of the companies being mentioned who has sold the info? I constantly file complaints and will continue to do so until someone does something and I suggest everyone else should too. Caller ID: 800 Service Caller: Insurance Services (Wells Fargo)"

What is the point of having an unlisted number and being on the no call list when this number rings my phone day and night? No message, stays on the line a few seconds, then hangs up. Whatever company does this should be charged with harassment, fined, and forbidden to have a business license in the future!

FAX back to 1-800-553-1077
You prefix your call with *67 so that your caller-ID doesn't go through on the call. Put a couple of "," characters in the rest of the programming sequence (gives a four second delay for the *67 to take effect and for the phone to return a dial tone). Then program the rest of the sequence "1-800-553-1077" into your fax dialing string. Follow with a string of ",,3" characters so that your phone doesn't hang up. The reason for the ",,3" sequence is that their automated system WANTS "1" or "2" so ",,3" keeps it cycling in an error mode.... A much longer call !!! Tell your FAX machine do try sending the "FAX" until it is successful. If you do this around 10:00 p.m. and tell your FAX machine to abort trying when you get up for breakfast the next morning..... Well, after all, it is an "800" number and they surely would NOT have called you unless they really urgently wanted to hear from you so you might as well put it in writing (even if they're slow to respond to FAXes --- on their VOICE line !!). After a few thousand dollars of "800" number calls, maybe they'll put a FAX switch on their line.
In summary:
*67,,18005531077,,,3,,3,,3,,3,,3,,3,,3,,3
or as long a programming sequence as your machine allows.
