Some landline companies have blocked phone # listings you can use (such as AT&T's Smart Limits option). Ask them to add (972) 655-3476 to your account - that should prevent the phone number from coming through in the first place. Note that phishing calls such as this one are not affected by the government's Do Not Call List, as they are not legitimate telemarketing calls to begin with, and often originate from a location outside the United States. If you are unable to use Caller ID blocking, we recommend you simply ignore the phone calls. Some cell phones may allow you to assign a silent ring to a particular set of numbers. If you're concerned you may be behind on a credit card payment, contact your bank directly.

Oh my gosh this number won't stop calling!! Is there any kind of hardware device I can attach to my phone that will block calls from a certain caller ID? I'm on Time Warner Digital, and they currently don't have a "blocked call list" that I can add numbers to, unlike my old provider (Bellsouth) had...

Verizon Cell Phone

I keep receiving calls from this number to my Verizon cell phone. My advise is to buy a whistle, wait until you hear someone's voice on the other end - and then blow, blow, blow. Let 'em have it!
