This is Charter (cable, internet, phone company). They have done this to me in the past. I don't understand their philosophy! They call, do not answer when you answer, and do not leave a message! What they want you to do is call back then they try to sell you a bundle option or other things! The reason they can call is if you are doing business like have cable or have in the past had their service you have to give them your phone! So even if you are on the Do Not Call list they can call you. I think it cost them less money when you call them instead of having to pay long distance that's why they don't answer and they are just counting on people being curious enough to call back. I think this is a bad way to do business and if there where any other options in my city I would go with another company! But I can't so stuck with it all the time!
I don't answer it period. When you see that 314 area code with a prefix of 450, you'll know it's charter cables alleged telemarketing. My recommendation is visit or call your nearest chatter agency to verify the authenticity of these idiots.
All of a sudden, I began getting these phone calls - had to look up where the 314 area code was even at (no where near me.) The calls are at random bizarre times of the day and I getting sick of them interrupting my work hours. I'm sure my boss does not appreciate the incessant buzzing of a phone on vibrate either.
