They call several times a week. They don't say anything when I answer and don't leave a message when the machine picks up. I have called the number and it says if you want to be put on the Do Not Call list to call the number it gives. I would love to talk to someone so that I can quiz them!!! If I do get someone when they call I, too, will pretend to be a business!!!!
They call every day and never leave a message or they just hang up. Today I picked it up. He paused a few moments before he spoke so that I was about to hang up. He sounded young and African-American. He said, "we're conducting a radio survey from Los Angeles as to which station plays most in your area. What station do you listen to"
He already had my address and my last name and then asked my first name.
I said, "where did you get this?"
He said, " from the DMV where you go to register for your license."
I said, "I didn't think they would give that out, what do you need all that for?"
He said, "to verify that you live in Los Angeles."
I said, "I don't live in Los Angeles."
He said, 'You don't?"
"No," I said.
Then he said, "but you live in California?"
"Yes."
"Oh, bye." he said.
I wish I would have asked him who he was or who did he represent, I just wasn't ready!
Yes get calls all the time and this 213-226-7747 just started. Forget about the national do not call list. Don't leave anything up to the goverment to solve anything. Just take a look at what the government did on Monday, they pulled the plug on DNS program.
It's not the Gov's responsibility to run those servers forever. Each of us is responsible for removing malware off our own PCs. The Gov and internet security companies have been warning for months this shutdown might happen so you cannot blame this one on the Gov.
Called around 6pm saying it was a survey. They asked about radio stations and wish ones I listen to the most, around what time I listen to them during the day and wish type of music did I listen to most.
