These people call repeatedly and won't stop. They hang up when my answering machine kicks in. We have an ill person in this house and such calls are unwanted, unwelcome, and unsolicited.
Get calls from this number almost daily. Today got an attitude and answered the call "This call is being recorded". Got a computer saying that this call may be recorded for quality reasons. Then said that the call was for Mike C. Dennings (Jennings?) who does not live here. Told me to press 1 if this was him, press 2 to put call on hold for time to go find him, 3 Mike Dennings isn't available at this time, and press 4 if he's not at this number. I pressed 4 and call immediately transferred to live female operator who said "Thank you for calling...". That's are far as she got when I let her know that I didn't call anybody, they called me. Told them I'm on Do Not Call Registry, have received at least a dozen calls from this number in the past 2 weeks, and once I hang up am going to file a complaint with FTC. The female operator calmly told me that okay they will have my number removed from the listing.
The way the operator was talking about having my number removed from the listing seemed to totally contradict the beginning of the call with the computer voice specifically asking for someone. But if they call back again they're fair game. Might hit '2' to put call on hold, then just lay the phone off to the side for an hour or so. Maybe I'll get lucky and my 18 month old grandson will be here, and I can press 1 or 4 and give the nice people someone to talk to. Or maybe I'll just fake it and press '1' myself and see what the deal is. Not like they can complain that I lied...
We get numerous calls a day from this number. My caller ID gives the name as Hasbrouck HE N.J. I am assuming they are a collection agency. The number they are calling is a new number and I am assuming the previous holder is being sought by collection agencies. We are also on the Do Not Call registry. I finally just set the number up to be blocked. They still call several times a day.
We get several calls each week and this is getting on my nerves. Caller ID says Haslbrouck, NJ. WHY am I signed up on the DO NOT CALL Registry if these unsolicited, unwanted calls keep coming?
I have a terminally ill family member needing bed rest and my right to privacy is being violated with all these calls.
