There are many comments on this number at the whocalled.us website. This number is still a mystery.
866-731-8618
It's that stupid online pharmacy. You can
tell them a thousand times to stop calling and
it seems like they call more often.
If you know how to make them stop please let
me know!!! They are making me crazy!!!!

I am SO tired of getting calls from this number!! I have reported as an FTC Do-not-call violation more than once, and if it really is some shady online Rx company, I also notified the FDA online reporting service too. Today I decided to call this number back. I was told my Rx is ready to be delivered. When I told the guy i didn't order any Rx, he asked if I was John somebody (I'm female, and don't believe I sound like I'd be a "John"!). I told him he had the wrong number - he said sorry - but the calls will continue, as they have, I fear. :?
Anyone have any advise that may actually stop these calls - AND whatever bogus company this is??

I FINALLY tried a Google search on this mystery number, as AOL's (who I normally use) was getting me no where......
This number does seem to be linked to 866-272-8256, which currently goes by the name mypillorder.com.
If you put this number into whocalled.us search, you will see the connection.
Selling Pharmacy meds without Rx's, best I can tell, is ILLEGAL. Not only does this number repeatedly violate do-not-call laws, but apparently that is NOT the only violation we should be reporting!
If your number is on the do not call list, contact the FTC. If you want this annoying soliciting to stop for good, contact the FDA too!
Legal or illegal?
Selling controlled (prescription) medication over the Internet... illegal? Well, yes and no.
If they have the proper licensed people reviewing and prescribing medication, even if it's based on a form filled out on a website, this does squeak by the current laws. The FDA has recognized value in online pharmacies, for benefits to people who are homebound (e.g. the disabled), 24/7 access, and privacy.
Online pharmacies are limited in what schedules (classes) of drugs they can sell online; e.g. while you can buy impotence drugs, you can't buy Oxycontin. Pain killers, barbituates, etc. still require a trip to the doctor, because of potential for abuse.
However, if they are trying to solicit you to buy prescription drugs, as opposed to you requesting a doctor's consultation, that's a different story.
A number of people have cited a number of phone calls relating to a prescription they may have filled online several years ago. IF business did previously occur, then there's grounds for citing a prior business relationship, which does get around the FTC Do-Not-Call list. However, that does NOT mean they have freedom to harass you at will.
If they are in fact based in the U.S., which they need to be to legally dispense medication to U.S. residents, then they are regulated by U.S. law, and there is recourse.
If you're called, record the date, time, what they're offering, and whether they acknowledge a request to not call you again; specifically, that you ask they place you on their Do Not Call list. Even with a prior business relationship, if you request a DNC addition, they must respect it; they have lenience to call you again for the next 6-8 weeks (or whatever they stipulate) while their list gets updated, but after that time, they're in violation of law, and you're entitled to damages.
Legal or illegal?
Correction to the previous ... FCC's Do-Not-Call list, not FTC.
I do believe that there is potential jurisdiction here by the FCC, FTC and possibly FDA and DEA. People running schemes like this can go to jail, for a number of years, but it takes time and effort. Start at the local level, and move up to the federal level; politicians do want to stay in your favor.
