    Like others, I too got a call from that number; they left no message.

    Many people don't realize that things have changed from years ago ... long-distance calling these days from far-flung countries is basically as cheap as domestic calls...

    So people being harrassed basically face several problems...

    1. U.S. law is difficult to enforce for people outside the U.S.; suing them - not even worth the time, since odds of collecting a judgement is close to nil.

    2. Caller ID can be altered, and often is to show all calls under 1 number (probably what this is) or even a totally fake number like 000-000-0000, etc.

    3. Enforcement of telemarketing related laws is lax ... even if caught the financial penalties are light; meaningless if the company is a fly-by-night ... only tough criminal penalties, like years in prison will true dissuade violators.

    4. Telemarketing works - sad, but true ... even on this list of comments, there was one person who said they'd ordered something via a call from that number.

    In the meantime, about the only truly effective measure is to screen calls in some way...

    Ie. for landlines, some companies sell a box that can be hooked up to selectively block certain numbers / ranges and/or require the caller to listen to a message and enter a randomly generated PIN at the end to continue their call, etc.

    Addendum: the paragraph above in regards to "telemarketing works" is in reference to comments on 800Notes website.

    I continue to get calls from this number too, 213-533-8042 and the calls are coming in to my business and it is very annoying as it takes away from my business time, every time the phone is answered and from this number they never say anything and are still on the line when I hang up on them which is sometimes 3 or 4 times a day, the FCC needs to look into this and go after these people, it's not like it is just a few people they are doing this too it appears alot of people are having the same issue.

    Since this morning, I have taken my ring back off of my phone. They called again and finally some one answered me back. I told them that I filed a complaint with my local authorities and to take me off of their calling list. The man on the other end laughed, said "no" and hung up on me. 15 minutes later they called again and no one answered me back once I answered the phone. PLEASE WRITE THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOU!! These people evidently are not a legitimate company!!

    I got this number several times and I never answered so just tried ingore it and don't let it bother you but if it continue bothers you over and over.  You can call your providers and have them changed new phone numbers.  If continue you can contact your local Police Department and see what they have to say about it.  Thanks....

    Hello.

    Apparently the telephone numbers listed above are registered as follows:

    (213) 533-8042
    Type: Land Line
    Provider: Pacific Bell
    Location: Los Angeles:Da 01, CA

    (213) 452-6539
    Type: Land Line
    Provider: Pacific Bell
    Location: Los Angeles:Da 01, CA

    What I would suggest is that you send a very stern email and facsimile to Pacific Bell, in Los Angeles, California, informing them that their customers are harrasing them by constantly calling your telephone number and then hanging-up.  Hence you want them to contact their customer and cease-and-dessist immediately to avoid legal prosecution for harrassment, as well as a civil lawsuit for non-compliance.

    I'm not a lawyer, but sometimes wish I was.

    Pacific Bell owns the lines these people are using and they would not want to get sued for negligence or non-compliance because of their customers.

    Thank you.

    I just started getting these calls they have called every 1/2 hour for 2 hours now. I decided to look them up and found this and a bunch of other complaint sites. I am in WA state. I don't know how they got my cell number!

    I have recently just recieved 8 phone calls from the same phone number this evening, and then I just realized this yesterday evening that it was the same company calling, this happened yesterday too. Calling me and then hanging up on me, or calling me and not saying anything and I hang up on them. I had also put my number on the DNC list as I assumed this would end the telemarketers from calling at least after-hours!!! I have unplugged my phone this evening so that my daughter and I can get our rest! I don;t think we should have to do anything about this but unfortunately we will have to form some kind of group that will nip these jerks in the bud! AGGGH

    Janava, hey just wanted to tell you that you're not alone in this one! I am in Arizona and these "people" have been calling me since yesterday. This evening (11-26-07) they've just called me like 8 times and I've unplugged my phone! AGGGGGH, is there anything we can do? Besides ignore them? apparently they do not grasp the DNC list nor, privacey, nor hang-ups!I was on the phone with my best friend and I told her that I wasn't going to answer the call waiting when it came through. I do not as a rule of thumb answer the phone unless I'm expecting a call. But lately, I have had a broken caller ID so. Anyway, just want you guys' and gals to know that you're not alone. This one number that came up on my caller ID this evening was the 213-533-8042 and said GlobalreachInt and also the other name is Globalre C Int with same phone numbers.

    Wow, I thought I was just being curious when I goggled the number.  I don't normally answer phone numbers I don't recognized, this one to my cell phone at work, and I'm glad I didn't.  Within my curiosity I stumbled upon all these complains and I'm actually kind of scared.  I'm not very nice to these kinds of people, specially if they call in the middle of the night like some other people lord I'd go hysterical, and for god's sake why would someone do that?  I understand trying to promote your product of whatever it may be, but my god, you've taken it to a level of possible lawsuits!  I will for sure be contacting Pacific Bell, as well as the BBB or whatever it takes to get these people shut down.  Does anyone know if they have a website?  If that is the case we could do some damage there.

    I am also being harrassed by someone calling from this number.  From this site, I found another site that had a link for the FCC complaint site.  https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do
    Before logging onto this site, dial *57 to trace the call.  It will tell you that the trace is complete and provide you with the AT&T (Ameritech) annoyance call center number - (800) 769-4099.  If you call this number, they are able to provide you the info from the search so that you can fully complete the FCC Complaint form.  Perhaps if enough of us file complaints, something will be done!
