I've received this call. I wrote down the number and googled it and surprise, surprise, surprise I came across this page. This is just what I was thinking another collection agency or telemarketing call. I wished there was something we as consumers could do to stop harassing creditors and telemarketers. I think the collection agency and telemarketers are aware of the laws regarding harassing phone calls but I think they don't care and call anway. However, I am going to take the suggestion of one poster on another blog regarding another phone number that popped up on my caller id, buy a phone that blocks these calls so that if you get an "out of area" or no name appears on the caller id (like mine have for the last couple of calls we got to our home)the caller gets a busy signal and from what I can gather from the poster it works!!
Yes it is Direct TV, talk about Overpowering Marketers, they just about reached thru the phone and grabbed me by the collar. They will not get my business for a number of reasons, and this is one of them, NO is NO. I do not answer when I see this number and as a prevous post states my friends call me on the line they know and a legit person who leave a message and call back number. This is annoying to say the least, next time they call I think I will answer and give them my final verdict, STOP.
Good Luck to you all.
