Thanks for the link. Just called and talked to their "customer service" department. Told them to take my number off their list or I'd report them to the FTC, BBB and any other organization I can think of. She swore they'd remove my number. We'll see.
I don't get what they're after... they've called repeatedly, but when I answer (to tell them off), there's dead air then a hang-up click. Why?? Pointless and a waste of my time.
I also received a call from these people today about 11 this morning. No message and didn't even wait for my machine message to complete before hanging up. I did the *69 thing to get the number, which I realise is dumb since I'll have to pay for it.
I called the number and received a machine telling me to leave a message so I told them that if they didn't have the "b*lls" to leave me a message I wasn't interested in hearing from them. Told them to STOP making calls to my number. It probably won't accomplish anything, but it did feel good to VENT!
If they are interested in soliciting funds for children's charities or a similar noble sounding cause, the least they can do is be a little more professional about it. Many charities that solicit funds in my area
have the courtesy to leave their name/number and reason for calling on my machine. If I'm interested in contributing, I'll return their calls. That is how professionals do it.
I'm not sure if this is what this is or not, but I read once that telemarketing companies hire services to call mass lists of phone numbers, not to talk to them, but to find out what time someone is home. If you pick up the phone it is noted and then sent to the telemarketer as to what is the best time to call back. Like I said, not sure if this is what is going on with this annoying call or not, but maybe, the best thing we can do is NOT answer it, in hopes that it will eventually stop. I've been getting them for weeks and weeks now. Hope it will stop soon.
