These people call me 3-5 times a day, Spanish speaking only! Tried to get a manager on the line, but they would just hang up. Not sure what to do, but it is harrassment.
This is a Spanish speaking (only) Telemarketing Organization out of Los Angeles California. They have TV infomercial on the the Spanish TV.
They are trying to sell a Phoney Magical Cream that once you apply it to your waist, in a matter of 30 minuets or so it would dissolve the fat magically and you would literary loose over 8 inches of your waist line,becoming skinny within minute. Before you buy that, I have a very nice Tower in Paris and a great Bridge in Brooklyn that I can sell you very cheap :-) .
When they show this stupid program, they indicate that the first 300 callers will get 3 months worth of this Cream for free. As you can imagine a great number of innocent people call to be among this 300. Unfortunately for you or them, no phone would be answered buy a live operator, only a computer would say that your number has automatically been registered and an Agent will call you back.
This is the point that your NIGHTMARE begins. They would call all the time, morning, night,even Sundays at 8.00 AM. First the Computer would dial the phone and either silence or a horrible music and Spanish message waiting would start. So you are not even pron if your Answering Machine Clicks on, eating through your limited time of messages. By the way be careful because if you Forward your calls to your cell when you leave home, their Computer will automatically detect your cell number and would also start calling your Cell......Wow!!!
By the way do not waist your breath and health by trying to explain to them that they should not be calling you. I have personally tried just about any thing you can imagine, including, trying nicely to explain to them in English and Spanish, Asking for supervisor, causing them in English an Spanish, talking calmly getting mad to the point of having a heart attack, etc... etc... Once I even convinced them to have the Supervisor calling me back and when he did again for the 500 th time I explained the whole thing. He apologized for 10 minutes and promised that I will never get another call again. Well after only three days the calls started again!!!
WHY ARE THEY CALLING YOU?
If they are calling your number it is because one of these two reasons:
1- Some one from your number must have either responded to that Infomercial.
2- You dialed that number by mistake when you were trying to Dial someone else s'
number that is close to this number.
Solution
About the only solution that you have is to first register your number with WWW.DONOTCALL.GOV ( if you haven't already ) . Within 48 hours your number will be registered on the Federal No Call List. After that if the Calls continued you must follow the instructions in the same site. Ultimately if they still call you they could liable for as much as $10,000 per call.
I Hope the above could of help to all the innocent people who are getting harassed by these Shameless Basters.
