Caller said (in robotic male voice): "Pot luck is coming up press 1 if you're bringing the main dish, press 2 if you're bringing the salad." Afterward, an ad for Alltel wireless was played, with some question and to press a button if I was interested, then the first robotic message was repeated.
I got a call about 20 minutes ago. Didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number and since they were calling my cell phone I didn't want my number ending up in some system somewhere. I want to know how they got my number. I have had my cell number for years and never had random call like that.
I just got the same thing. Some robotic person ask me if they think that their child should have a birthday party at a pool press 1 or skating ring press 2. I waited a little longer and then it said something about mcdonalds. I hung up. I was just hoping it wasn't some type of phone scam or something.
My number is on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) national Do Not Call registry.
Today, I received a call from this number - 302-336-7401. I did not answer and but an unintelligible message was left on my voice mail. EVERY TIME I receive a call of this kind I report it to the FTC using their online complaint format. I provide the date and time of the call.
If more people would complain, the FTC will take action against these annoying callers. The FTC does not act on one report; it takes numerous reports before they will take action.
