I have requested to be taken off the list. One time the caller ID will say Unknown and the next time it's 540-366-9501. Still calling the house. Very, very frustrated.
They call and ask for someone by name, when you ask who it is or what the call is about they say they are calling to speak with "both of you" I just mess around with them and they move on to another call. I asked the guy who "both of you" is because I never identify myself or confirm their request.
If you turn the tables on them they run away because they know they aren't going to ruffle your feathers and get any money out of you.
I get this call and it is before 8:30 in the morning! I also have put my number on the DO NOT CALL list but i still get a LOT of calls! I see why a lot of people stopped using landline phones! I hace caller ID and do not answer BUT it is still very annoying! They are not going to get money from me anyway! Mine says Local Call Area and the number is not local. How can anyone stop these calls?
FTC/DNC Legal calling hours is 8am - 9pm your local time. 1st party charity or non-profit is exempt from DNC. 3rd party is not. Both must cease when you tell them to stop calling. They may resume after 90 days.
