I get calls like this at 8:50 most mornings. Illegal since they call before 9am and illegal since I am on the Do Not Call registry which itself is a joke. As with everything else, money rules in this country. The phone company makes money on the calls, so nothing is done despite complaints. I have even complained to my senator who recommended the Do Not Call registry. I wonder what kind of person thinks that repeated annoying calls which are not wanted and not answered are worth their time? I disconnect on the second ring whenever possible. I never answer, speak into the receiver, or call back. Still, they keep on calling. You know Einstein's definition of insanity: continuing to do the same action over and over with negative results.
No message left. I received this call while I was on the phone with another call (we have call waiting service). By the time I switched over to this call, it only rang a couple of times, not long enough for it to go to the answering machine, before it stopped ringing.
Like others, I am on the Do Not Call List but these people still call. Filing complaints with the FTC does not good. I have Caller ID I simply do not answer these types of calls. Just aggravates me that I have to stop what I am doing to go answer the phone only to find out it is some telemarketer calling.
