Answered because I was waiting for a call back from my dr. "Hi this is Josh from Customer Service can you hear me ok" - I Instinctively said yes - i'm sure that will bite me in the a$$ later. Then the recording proceeded I'm here to tell you you have won a vacation in florida.. I hung up - wouldn't respond to anything I said.
Did not answer the phone cause the number was unknown to us. Caller ID said "Chiropractors I?" caller id only shows so many letters, so don't know what the letter I stood for? Left no message on answering machine of course!!
Received a call from this number on my cell. I did not recognize the number so I didn't answer. No message left. How are these scammers able to call our cell phones and not have to be held to the standards for the DNC list? I've had enough!!

Fact: The Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!
The DNC list is a LIST, subscribed to / purchased by legitimate telemarketers, so they know who not to call
Fact: Scammers and spammers ignore the DNC list .
Many use "war dialers" to quickly dial phone numbers. After all, phone numbers are just numbers, and are no secret!
Fact: The DNC list does not apply to NON-sales calls , such as political calls, charities, surveys, debt collectors and businesses with which you have done business with during the previous 18 months.
Fact: Spam callers can be blocked by getting a real call blocker .
