I've had a couple calls from this number. A nice and professional sounding man does a speil. I asked "Is this a computer"" And he says "acutally I'm a real person, but I use a computer for quality control."
Yeah, right.
I don't know what he's selling, but he is a telemarketer for certain. I never talk to computers for any reason so I do not wait to find out why they are calling. I just block their number.
Very satisfying.
Although... If you want to exact a penalty and have enough patience, their calls cost money. KEEP THEM TALKING. The longer they talk the more profit you are taking from them, and it costs you nothing!
I got a call as well, I would watch out what you say when you are speaking, its best to hang up ASAP, we got a call a while back that was answered by an employee, they asked her questions and recorded her voice, they asked things like are you authorized to make advertising decisions for your employer. When I found out they had placed a charge on my phone bill I called them. With in 10 seconds they had a recording with my employees voice but it was obviously chopped up, when asked if she was authorized to make advertising decisions the recording said "yes" but it didn't sound like a conversation and the employee would never have said that. So watch out when you say too much it can be chopped and made to sound like someone was excepting the advertising, or whatever they are trying to scam you for.
It originated from Yellow pages, they out source sales so the person will say and do anything to get you to say the right words that they can chop up and collect a free. Then the charge went on my phone bill! I called the Better Business Bureau, and the company responded with a bold faced lie, saying they had made several attempts to contact me...BUNK
Something thing to think about is calling your phone company and put a block on any 3rd party charges for local as well as long distance, that way nobody can put charges on, its very easy to do that, I was informed of this by the Better Business Bureau. Never knew it was so easy for someone to do.
I am sick of all these calls from telemarketers. Even after you put the number on Do Not Call. I do not have a block technical part from my phone company. So I set my ringer to two rings and then the answering machine picks up. That way they either have to leave a message or hang up and they get charged. I check to make sure it is not someone I know.
