Nonstop hangup calls from 619-801-8144 & 626-273-8240
Complaint
Ronin
Country: United States
I'm getting calls from this number NONSTOP! 619-801-8144 / It's the SAME Scammers as 626-273-8240 and the calls are coming in at all hours of the day and night on both my home phone and my cell phone!
It's possibly a spoofed number though, as many of the calls from this area in Cali are actually being bounced out of India & the Phillipines through a system similar to Skype. Oh, and don't believe for a second that your Land or Cell phone provider can't track it back to it's ACTUAL location. They can! It's just a matter of if they really want to be bothered with it & how much you pressure them to do it. Threats of legal action rarely work, but filing an actual complaint & seeking legal actions seems to work wonders to get them to get off their a**es to trace it back to it's place of origin.
In my case though, everytime I answer, they hang up instantly. No machine, no person, just dead air, then it disconnects.
I have since saved both 619-801-8144 & 626-273-8240 into my phone as TM#8-DoNotAnswer & TM#9-DoNotAnswer with a silent ring tone for both so I won't get woken up by these stupid calls.

Toll free: (866) 708-0401
In what I've read so far on here and other places in regards to this number, it seems to be attempted credit card fraud, and getting as much information as you can to report it is very necessary.
I would highly suggest reporting these calls directly to:
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
And also to:
https://secure.nclforms.org/nficweb/nfic.htm
Also contact:
http://www.transunion.com/
http://www.equifax.com/
http://www.experian.com/
and let them know what's possibly happening. Once you place the fraud alert in your file, you're entitled to one FREE copy of your credit report from each of the three consumer reporting companies immediately! In the event that one of your Credit Card/Debit Card accounts shows any type of fraud, have them close the account immediately and issue you a new card and account number.
Sooner or later, if enough people complain and/or sue over these type of scams, the companies will have no choice but to act or risk losing all of their customers.
If the calls continue, I'll be filing a complaint with the BBB against all said companies involved, as well as contacting the FTC, FCC, and the Attorney General in each state to file formal complaints.
