I am sick of the harassing call from this number which represents Verizon. And they refused to take me off of their call list. These people never answer with an operator as well. Jen
I have received 20 calls in the last 6 hours. I'm starting to get really angry. I have called the number back and have the option of putting my number on there do not call list. They keep calling anyway. I have had enough!
A piece of advice everyone(from personal research)...
It is legal for a telemarketer to call you if:
1) You have a business with the telemarketing firm
2) You have willingfully provided your contact information (online or verbal)
3) You have provided your consent for them to contact you (online or verbal)
4) Asked about a product or service within the last 6 months
What you can do (what I've done):
1) If you do not want to be called by a telemarketer making an exempt call, you can ask to be put on the telemarketer’s internal do not call list. They have to respect your request. Keep in mind however that this list in some companies updates every 48/72 hours.
2) What I've personally done is this - tell them that you've already signed up with them and you still continue to receive calls. They'll ask for a confirmation number, say that you have it in your computer somewhere along with a username and password and you already paid their start-up fee of $1.95 or $1.97 or something like that. In my case so far - it's working. :)
This is PISSING me OFF. We get BACK to BACK calls from this number starting at 8pm EVERY night. I try to call them and it says "due to a high volume of calls there are no customer service representatives to help you".
These [***] better stop this. We have JUST gotten home with our 2 year old from children's hospital and I have NO problem chewing them a new butt hole.
NO consideration for others whatsoever. I will SUE them for harrassment if they keep this up.
If anyone else is interested in suing, we could possibly do a class action, I am not really sure how that goes, I will have to talk to my attorney about that.
