This number called me on 3/5 at 1:50 PM. Recording announced them as a senior monitorng system. Called ID showed an Akron number. Provided a "do not call" option by pressing 5, which I did. Said I would not be contacted again. We'll see.
Robo call.....Called back and said they are American Senior Benefits Program...have to listen to a speel...blah, blah, blah. All our reps are assisting other people in need...blah, blah, blah. No option to take off call list came up. Said I could leave a message, since all reps were busy...beep...I left a message with my phone number, told them no seniors live here and to take me off their call list and if I receive another call, I will report them to the FTC....
Received a call from this # today, only to hear a recording. I waited until a gentleman came on. He immediately began asking for MY name. Whoa, whoa, sport. I asked how this "Senior Benefits" company got our #; he claimed he didn't have that info (of course!), but speculated it was due to a prior purchase or a "concerned family member." My husband & I are in our 40s, btw. I told him that was inaccurate and our # has been on the Do Not Call list for several years. He assured me our # would be removed & hung up at the speed of light. Problem is, it shouldn't even have been on their list and this company didn't check the Do Not Call list as required by law.
Got a call from these pissers earlier today. Went to Youtube and found a number of selections for those tenacious telemarketers. One of the selections plays the familiar 3 tones then the message "We're sorry but the number you have reached is not in service at this time". I've "heard" that the 3 tones played at the beginning of the message causes the autodialer to delete your phone number from the roster. Youtube also has a hold message for telemarketers. Part of it goes "Your call may have been forgotten, so please continue to hold tenaciously. Someone will eventually remember that you're on hold." I can't WAIT to try them.
