And the most uncomfortable thing was that she first confirmed who I am by asking me "Am I speaking to < my full name >.
Can't do anything about it. I just wish world would be more simpler.
I think Sue is right. I had never received a call from this number until today. I filed foe unemployment earlier this week. Geez, as if I don't have enough to worry about. I was hoping it was a potential employer.
This 'reply' is a continuation of my above-post. I just re-read Sue's post (the post above mine), and was surprised about how the local unemployment agencies divulge the personal phone numbers to the telemarketers. SUE'S POST IS MOST LIKELY CORRECT, as I have been in contact with several unemployment / temp. agencies in the last month. In trying to find a summer job (as a recent college graduate), I listed with 7 unemployment agencies, and always listed my cell phone as the primary contact number. In addition to family, friends, co-workers, and these agencies, no one else knew my cell phone number. I have now made an effort to contact all of the unemployment agencies, instructing them not to divulge my number, or other personal information. I recommend anyone else in a similar situation perform the same action.
I have received many calls from this number. I got 5 calls yesterday and 3 so far today and it is only 2:15. These comments have helped a great deal. I have tried many things to look this number up and have come to nothing until I found all your comments. Thanks everyone. I will keep rejecting the calls.
Have received calls from this number several times, they never leave a message and if you call back their voicemail is very vague. It says to press 1 to be placed on their do not call list. Well, I've been on the National Do No Call List for a LONG time so they need to stop calling me. I didn't press 1 before that would just be confirming to them that they had a valid number and I don't want that either. Kind of a catch 22, isn't it? 856-295-5636
