I single-handedly shut down this telemarketer the other day – seriously, let me explain. I got a cell phone robo-call recorded message yesterday morning. I pressed the “1” and got a live person. They were selling car insurance. When asked for the make and model of my car, I replied that I would like to speak to the manager. She refused to switch me so I informed them that I got a spam call on my cell which is illegal. Click. I reported the incident online to the FCC then at lunch from my car I called back at least 4 more times and each time they hung up when I insisted on speaking to the manager. The final time they did not pick up and it rolled over to an answering machine so I responded as follows:
“You have been reported to the FCC on form #1088 and the FCC reference number is 12-T01092127. When they show up to contact you please know that it is from cell number 610-xxx-xxxx.”
This morning I called the 610-200-0340 number again and got a recorded message “number no longer in service”. Yee Haw!......I have defeated a telemarketer!
