513-531-3690 Stop Calling Me!

Well if you are reading this post maybe you stumbled onto it from a Google search or other search engine, but the end result is these annoying phone calls!

The little bit about this phone number that I am aware of:

1. originates from Hamilton, OH (suburb of Cincinnati)
2. sometimes no one on the phone, hangs up or dead air
3. sometimes people say they are from various radio stations or surveys
4. usually rude (well I guess you’d have to be since you’re calling people every night!)
5. i don’t think they are breaking the Do Not Call law since they aren’t really telemarketers, at least that is what I’ve been reading about.  To me, ANYONE that calls me at home or cell that I don’t know or am associated with is a telemarketer.

Anyway I am receiving these calls every night for the past two weeks, usually anywhere from 6pm to 8pm or so. I’ve gotten to the point where I no longer answer the phone — and it’s my cellphone!!  The best thing about it going to my cell is that I now added the number to my contact list and can tell when these scammers are calling me.  So if you have a cell phone here’s a little trick I just did to not get interrupted by the ring (Song) on my cell.

Here’s what I did:

1.  don’t answer the call
2. Store/Save the number, 513-531-3690 (or manually enter it now!)  in your contact list
3. set the name to 513 Scam Don’t Answer
4. also set the ringer to SILENT (can’t answer what you can’t hear!)
5. you may have to clear the “missed calls” from your phone, but  I do that anyway

Here are some links to sites with more information and comments from the rest of the folks that are just as annoyed as you and I!

Quick Look at How Google Works

Hey this is a pretty good visual overview of how a Google search might transpire when you enter your search word/phrase into Google’s search box.  (I’m not saying these guys have the full picture, but this is still some interesting concepts on how a search engine works and how much computing power is needed).
