I received daily calls since we got our new phone number ( 1 year) from various phone numbers claiming to be the remodeling center or home center and trying to book an appointment and gather info about me and my home. Sometimes we receive  3-4 calls a day. Nobody cares we are on the no call list. One guy told me it was the FTC's fault and he had to call me. Today it was from a cell phone  (909) 231-5204, said his name was Jerome, when we called the number back it said number belonged to Michael Anderson Internal Revenue Service.

    They call so often, and from different phone numbers as describe above. Always cop an attitude with me when I ask to be put on their do not call list. They hang up on me. I have reported them on the FCC website twice already.  How do we stop them from calling our mobile numbers? They are rude. Today was (805) 129-9942. I always block the number on my phone, next time it's a different incoming number. waste of our time.

    they used to call me all the time and never took me off the list when asked to. I decided the only way to stop them was to waste their time and money, I started setting up appointments for a "quote" and gave them the police station address to go to, did that a few days in a row and haven't gotten a call in weeks.

      Awesome! We did that a few weeks ago too. Very satisfying when we got a call back the next day saying they went to the location we requested and are sorry they missed us! Good for a laugh.

      I'm going to try that next time they call. I get calls everyday multiple times a day. They ask for a Mr. Darby. I have no clue who that is. He gave me the address to "the house" and I just looked it up and it doesn't even exist in Glendale. One time this guy started yelling at me and called me a [***] and a bunch of other names and then told me he's giving my number to everyone there so they could call me like the [***] that I am. This is definitely a new low.

    I received a call from the Remodeling Center on a Sunday. I tried asking them for their number so I could call them back because I wanted to research them and talk to my husband before schedule an appointment. The lady finally got frustrated and hung up on me. It was actually kind of funny.

    Got a call today. One of many. Gentleman asked for Mr. Harris. I told him I want 3 of everything and to get me the company’s name and number. He said, The Remodling Center, but no number. I repeatedly told him to stop calling me. To take me off their list. He was no help. Acted as if he was the victim of my tirade. 323-419-1387 listed from Huntington Park. I blocked the number, but they use another on the next call. It’s ridiculous.

    I received a call from female who sounds Hispanic trying to sound Asian who announce she is calling from a general contractor and wants to know if I want to do remodeling to my home. I asked where she got the number from and her response was that it was found in the computer and she's been working there two days. She does not know anything else. She repeated question regarding remodeling to home. She said she is sure my home is lovely inside. I asked for company name. Remodeling Center she said. Location, I asked. Her response,  Southern California.  Where at and what is the address. She only maintained her original question and eventually hung up as I maintained business location address.

    This place is a total scam!!!! Called and when I said I didn't have a job for them only a small one they said it didn't fit there needs. Then the guy called right back and said they would be willing to make an exception and do a 400 dollar job and set up an appointment with me and my husband and do a free estimate.  Then they called to confirm appt.  I called back and thought we were set for the free estimate.  A lady says they only do jobs over 2000 dollars. What a waste of time and a scam!  Run very fast!  Can't even find their website online. Woman spoke with today was Nikita.   I bet 323-677-7200!

    I have been receiving calls from The Remodeling Center for some time. On this last call, I mentioned that we have already talked,and wished him a good day.  I found 'Remodeling Center' online, but cannot be sure of who is really calling.  The calls that I have received have had several numbers showing on my caller ID.

    Sorry about posting a second time, but I found more notes on this caller.
    It seems to be from Jonathan Construction, in Culver City.
    When I ask 'which location is your home center', I am accused of playing games for not answering their questions before knowing who I am talking with, and they will hang up.
    I did find their confirmation number: 866-701-7706, from another complaint.  I called it, using Skype, and it really is a confirmation number.  But I am still not certain of the exact location.  The woman who answered my call to that confirmation number said that she works with a few companies, and is not allowed to tell where the business is located.

    It's very inexpensive for them to call. Since our wonderful federal government (FTC) will do nothing to shut them down I figure the only way to get it to stop is to make the business model unprofitable by making it more expensive to market this way. So, whenever they cal,l I MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, telling them I'm doing a complete gut job and on the master bath. Once the contractor/lying scum shows up I tell what's up and that I'm glad I've wasted their time. If everyone did this the contractors would quit using this form of marketing because it would be nothing but a waste of their. Telling them to remove you from their call list is a waste of your time, after all aren't we already  on the Do Not Registry - they do not care. The solutions is to make this form of marketing unprofitable or too costly. Make the appointment , have them waste an afternoon/morning coming out to you. For added fun I like to make the appointments during the height of either morning or evening rush hour traffic. Remember the goal is to waste as much of their time as possible making this an expensive way to generate business.

    Post this to Facebook, let your friends know.

    BTW, I do not feel sorry for the employees/telemarketers of these firms. Just like I don't feel sorry for causing grief to anyone else breaking the law. They know they're breaking the law, they donot care they're breaking law as evidenced by their repeated calls. If someone told me they were just doing the job they were paid to do as they stole my car, should I feel sorry for them? After all "I'm just doing my job."

    I just got a job interview with them - I searched Craigslist for "Remodeling Center" and I've got an interview arranged for 12:15pm on Wednesday @ 18356 Oxnard St, 2nd Floor, Tarzana,CA. This should be fun! Note the time is not during rush hour traffic-that would be inconvenient.

    Another unwanted call from this Los Angeles VOIP number arrived today, less than 3 months since the last unwanted call in April.   Once again, when the answering machine picked up, there was dead silence -- a strong sign of robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) who shamelessly prey on the public.

    The predator has been flagged as a scam contractor (probably unlicensed), who also phones from (323) 209-3285.  The venerable website www.whitepages.com describes both numbers as "scam or fraud."

    They ("The Remodeling Center") are still at. I told the caller that I had been called multiple times and to take me off their list. Was told I was racist for not talking to him. Another number to block 818 917-8897.

    I also received a phone call from Danny at The Remodeling Center.  I told him to stop calling me.  He then started calling me back on a different number than the first one, making threats.  the last phone call, he told me he knows where I live.  I called the police.  Not only is he breaking the law by calling me as I am on the Do Not Call List, but he is making threats and harassing me.

    Don't just hang up on these people. Get their information.  Tell them you want to check them out.  Ask for a website, a contractor license number, street address; anything you could use to verify that they are legitimate.  Once you get this information, you can sue them in small claims court for at least $500, and more than likely $1500, FOR EACH TIME THEY CALL YOU.  Remember that the caller ID number will be useless since it is probably spoofed, but you will need it to prove that they are trying to hide their identity because they are knowingly violating Federal law.  If you prove they are knowingly violating Federal law, then you get the higher $1500.
