Call at noon:45 PDT. Automated call, offered an option to push 1, so I did. Person on the other end said they were a call center (actual words), and they were selling Dish Network. I tried to play it cool, asked for a website I could check out their offer. She said, "Uh, I don't know. Um, I guess Dish Network dot com? I really don't know. Maybe do a Google search or something?" When I asked if I could check out her website so I could compare offers, she immediately hung up.
This is the exact same tactic I've been getting a lot more of recently. Automated call with an option to push 1 to talk to someone, then as soon as I ask for any contact info, they hang up.
I will do some more research to see if I can find their info. If I do, I'll post it here so you can send a "Cease & Desist" letter. (I have a letter I typed up years ago after a spate of these calls. It's sounds just like an attorney wrote it, and threatens lawsuit with any further contact. Every single company I've sent it to has stopped contacting me within days of my sending it. So this tactic REALLY WORKS!)
They called me at 1:11pm on 9/12/2008. I am on the DO NOT CALL registry so I went to file a complaint and this is the message I got from the registry... Pretty much says they have ways around calling you so I guess when their 30 days are up they'll just get a new number and call me for another 30 days and so on and so on........
