Call came at 7:32 pm 7/12/13. Tons of noise in the background. Woman with thick accent said she was from Gold Rush something. Said I wasn't interested. She said oh, not a sales call, blah, blah. I should've hung up, but said Fine, what's it about. Sarcasm wasted. She says she has to get her manager to talk to me. He comes on the line, starts telling me about an open house or something for Gold Rush, "here in unintelligible city." I tell him I can't hear him, and where is he? Same garbled name. He keeps saying "Okay? Okay?" I said NO! Stop talking to me and never call here again, never. I hung up. It felt like he wanted me to say yes, which would maybe have me agreeing to something I don't want. I'm a little concerned because they did know my name. I am on the Do Not Call list, but it didn't help. I hope I don't get this call again, but maybe I'll take the advice of a previous poster and fake 'em out with an accent of my own. Or, since I know their phone number, I could answer "Thank you for calling the office of the California Attorney General for Consumer Affairs." There is such an office! It MIGHT scare them.
Just called me on my cell - and hung up with no message. It's typical it's something like this - low-grade sales skills, intelligence and morals! Maybe they search the internet for numbers to call - it's now 2012 and they're still doing it! Who's buying from these people?
