I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, I just need some guidance.
I have been getting calls on my cell from some fuckers running an auto warranty scam.
They're calling me from 603.214.3656 and I know that's a NH number provided by Freedom Ring LLC out of Portsmouth. The company leasing that number seems to lease the DID range of 3501-3669.
Can you guys give a newbie any direction on what I could do to find their main number?
They also call from a 202 DC area code.
When you call these number back they give a message that says "to get on our do not call list press 1" then hangs up. I have tried pressing other keys and it immediately disconnects.
Anyhow, if anyone has a moment to offer some guidance I'd really appreciate it. If it's a waste of your time I totally understand.

Maybe a complete exchange scan of 603-214-xxxx. Or at least all the numbers from 603-214-35xx though 603-214-36xx.
Have you tried pressing "1" to be removed? That might be the least amount of wasted time for you. Though that doesn't seem to work for me with this home security system company that's been calling me for the past year.

Thanks for the reply.
As you mentioned I press 1 to be removed though this doesn't seem to work.
I'll do some searching in the forums on how to do an exchange scan using my window$ machine.
Thanks again

i used to get those all the time. eventually i just selected the option to speak to someone about my warranty when i got another call, and politely asked to be removed. i was and forgot all about them until you reminded me.

It never goes to a real person for me. Ever. My calls always involve the "please stay on the line while one of our representatives contacts you" message. Thankfully they tend to call any time after 8 while I'm in school. Never while I'm home, only in school.

A Google search on that number finds all this information on them:
http://whocalled.us/lookup/6032143656 (http://whocalled.us/lookup/6032143656)
There are contact numbers on there and lots of stories from other people who are called by them.

I've received several such calls recently from the number (516) 858-7142. I called back, presses 2 to get off the list as it instructed me, but wasn't satisfied. So I called back and started pressing DTMFs. I found that if you press star twice it asks for a password. Maybe I'll spend some time this weekend trying to figure out what the password it. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, one other thing - whocalled.us provides the toll free number of the fraud department of the owner of the phone lines - http://whocalled.us/lookup/5168587142

I got a bunch of these calls in my voicemail lately, and then I finally got one I was able to pick up. I waited for a person and said "your message said my warranty will expire, please sign me up for my warranty extension, I'm ready to go ahead with this". The lady confirmed my phone number and then said "sorry for the inconvenience sir, please disregard this call" and hung up; I haven't gotten a call since. I guess she was really skilled at identifying time-wasting assholes just by tone of voice.

From a txt file I wrote 7 years ago about automated calls:
From: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn10=US04941168
This invention relates to an automated telephone dialing system, for recognizing electronically, whether a called party is a human subject or an automated telephone answering device, and for delivery of pre-recorded messages in synchronization with the activation of the receive function of an automatic answering machine. The determination of whether a called party is human or an answering device is made based on analysis of the party's response to an audio instruction. The system delivers pre-recorded messages to a live party or to an automated answering device in the time sequence required or recording of the message by the answering device.
The other night, I pick up the ringing phone to hear prerecorded telemarketing spam. I press 2 (Since 1 was the most likely expected response) to determine if it was the type that expected a response. It responded... not by telling me the response was invalid, not by hanging up on me, but by starting the recording over.
So I recruited my husband to find a long phone wire, then to use another phone to keep the recording on the line while I connected the telephone I was using into another jack closer to my computer.
I set the phone next to my computer speakers, put it on speaker phone, used Cool Edit to generate DTMF 2, set Cool Edit to loop the sound, and hit play, causing the recording to loop... on their dime.
I planned on letting it loop all night, but exactly 45 minutes later, the call was disconnected.
Yes, I know about the Do-Not-Call list, but where's the fun in that? ;)
