(413) 749 in Adams, MA

I do Not know this number or anyone from Adams,MA but somehow they contacted Me on My Home number. I do Not answer calls that I do Not know the number or the person who is trying to contact Me.

Represented themselves as from the US Treasury and threatened criminal charges if we didn't call back.

unwanted calls,weekends

We get these calls on our Pre-paid cells AFTER we've added more minutes to them. My spouse goes to various websites and gets discounted rates on the minutes, vs. the carrier's plans. These calls come in on the cells a week or two after we've done this. The calls DO NOT EVEN RING! They just somehow register as 'missed' calls when I go to use my phone. When I call this LOCAL number back on my BLOCKED landline (to prevent them from tracing that or any of my other numbers) it IMMEDIATELY goes to a prerecorded message (ALSO without RINGING first) saying that since "recently visiting one of our affiliated websites, you are eliglble for our 'rewards card' for 'local' (national chain) retailers." It asks you to press 1 to speak to a representative, but I always hang up at that point. WHY, just because we 'do business' ONLINE, buying FOR a PHONE, does that give the company a right to CALL that phone to solicit MORE business? We DID NOT *CALL* them nor ASK them to call US. This seems like a LOOPHOLE to me, at best (OR A BLATANT VIOLATION of the DNC rules, at worst) and one that should be CLOSED. Caller: "JULIE" of MEYER ASSOCIATES??? Call Type: Telemarketer/SCAMMER/FRAUDSTER
