I'm a receptionist at a small physical therapy office and have been receiving automated calls from this number several times a day saying "Hello! This is John-.." and that's as far as I get before hanging up. Well, after several days of this I googled the number and after reading the comments on this board, I thought it would be a laugh to call the number back and get hung up on the man that's hanging up on everyone else. So it began: I called, was put on hold for the next representative for about 2 seconds before a man answered asking if I was interested in their business loan, I hung up, just to be the first one to score a goal in his little game.
I then called right back, and got the same man, he asked if I was interested in his loan, I said "No, but I'm interested in being put on your do not call list". He said "it takes a month" and CLICK he hung up. Well, that's 1 to 1.
I called back and listened to the holding music for about 30 seconds before figuring he probably wasnt going to answer again. So, considering the reviews here describing what has to be the same man I got on the phone, then getting him twice in a row, I figured either he's the only one manning the office, or it's at the least a very small office indeed. And as I've got nothing better to do with my time at work, I called the number back about 7 times and set the receiver on my desk as the hold music played until disconnected.
I did this for about 15 minutes before deciding I wanted to talk to him again and he simply must answer at some point. So the next time I called I listened to the holding music for about a minute before a different man answered who had more patience and at least pretended to apologize for the outrageous number of calls I complained about, and at least pretended to place me on their do not call list. Although if the calls actually do stop, I will be surprised.
I get this phone call 3 or 4 times a day. When I called the # back it was called NBA small business platinum. I just went & filed a complaint with the do not call registry as an auto dialed pre-recored call is illegal. I am doing this to any unwanted calls, I am hoping that if I camplain enough the Gov't will finally fine them. Everyone should go to the do not call registry & file a complaint.
see my 11-17-10 post. JERKS have been calling since then. Caller I.D. says CUSTOMER SERVICE. Sometimes it is hangups and other times it is a long recorded message that ties up my answering service. The message this time was for platinum membership provided by the National Small Business Alliance with an $8,000 line of credit..
These %#&$*%( will NOT stop calling my cell phone, which IS on the DNC Registry... occasionally it's a recording where I can Press # or some number to REMOVE (which I have done, and which obviously has not resulted in being removed!), or mostly, there is no one on the other end. I am going over to the DNC Registry NOW to see what I can do about this and STRENUOUSLY OBJECT to this CONTINUED HARRASSMENT!!!
