They call me every morning and sometimes in the afternoon but I never pick up. I don't know the company but it's somewhere in Marathon, Florida. I don't know how they got my information but I keep getting calls from institutes although I'm already in school and even though I'm on the National Do-Not-Call Registry.
Got a call from 305-897-3785. Caller ID said Marathon, FL. Didn't answer the first call. Five minutes later, a second call arrived (both on my cell phone). No messages left. After the second call, an unknown woman answered. Refused to give a name. I asked for a supervisonr or manager. They were all in a meeting (go figure). She hung up on me.
I called back again and got another female, who identified herself as Education Resource Center. She would not give a first or last name, but was very pleasant, so I played along. She's "heard" that I want to continue my education (two BS and two MA/MS to my name) and she'd like someone to call me. Someone from LakeView or LakeWood (she changed names several times) will contact me soon to arrange for me to attend at home Masters classes.
The first troll I heard from responded (who refused to give a name, and then hung up on me), when asked about the 305 area code and how the weather was in Marathon, FL, (knowing the Keys as a very regular visitor and a home owner on Key Largo), told me that she was in West Palm Beach. When I suggested that West Balm Beach and Marathon are several hundred miles apart and don't share an area code, she killed the call.
I'd say beware, but this outfit is so utter unprofessional, employing such dolts, that just about anyone that has the brain power to order a phone line would understand the scam.
My only concern is that they've apparently purchased a cell phone list, as the first two calls arrived on my Blackberry.
Be aware, be cautious, be ready to take notes, and be VERY ready to contact the Florida Department of Consumer Affairs, run by Adam Putman.
It seems in the last couple days I also have been receiving an enormous amount of telemarketing calls including the 305-897-3785 and I'm just trying to figure out what the link is. I don't need any loans, or need to return to school and I never give out my cell number so I'm now wondering if it might have something to do with owning a Blackberry. Thoughts?
ive been receiving calls from 3058973785 number weird thing is that there asking me to pay a fee dont own since am only 15 years old. How could i possibly owe any money?
I received a call from this number today. I used to live in Key West, so a call from a 305 number was not out of the norm. But they hung up, called again, hung up again. I want to be taken off this call list!
