I got a call from this number saying they were Frontier Phone Co. The caller insisting that she was from the Promotion Department asked about what type of service I had. I said, if you're really from the phone co. you should know what service I have. She proceeded to offer satellite tv for 9.99/mo til 2010 plus a free Dell Laptop and reduced charges on my phone and internet bill. yeah right.
I gave her no information whatsoever as I never trust telemarketers.
Got a phone call at 10:30 am - the caller asked for me directly (using my full name) and when I said 'yes, speaking,' the caller hung up immediately. Hope it didn't get me on the list. I will also file a complaint as I'm on the do-not-call lists.
I received a call on 02/20/09 at 1:03pm Pacific Time. I believe I recognize the female voice who said "I am going to kill you". I checked my caller ID and found that I have received 3 calls prior to this since 02/06/09 - the caller had not left messages. I have reported this threat to the local police department who I hope will contact the Kearny, NJ authorities. I do not beleive these calls to be a solicitor but rather someone who has to much time on their hands and not mentally stable.
When I told this person that they were wasting their time, that I don't do business over the phone, they started calling me names. I laughed at them and hung up. From that moment the phone would ring every five minutes for next hour. This time the number did not show on the caller ID. I could hear the other solicitors in the background so I'm sure thats what it is.
If I did this to someone I'd be charged with harassment!
