Why bother with *69. It costs money doesn't it? But don't bother calling these twits back, even if you actually get someone and ask to be put on their don't call list. Then they just know they got a live one and will keep calling. Probably from a lot of different numbers.
I just got a call (March 12, 2010, 4:44 pm)) from this cell phone telephone number. The recording identified its origin as being from "Credit Card Services", and it said that there were no current problems with any of my accounts, but to press 9 to hear about lowering interest rates.
I pressed 9 as instructed, even though I do not carry a balance on any credit card, and got a "live" male operator, who hung up instantly after I asked to be taken off their list.
I call him back, BUT, this number does not accept incoming calls.
Where are these calls originating from. The man "from Credit Card Services" did not have any accent as far as I could detect
Yeah I just got that call with a woman's voice. Exactly as stated above. She had a British accent, which is weird as I have never had that happen before. My husband is British so we wondered what the heck it was. I did not press 9; I hung up. A mystery phone call.
I got this call today and waited because I didn't recognize the phone number on caller ID (listed as a wireless number). As soon as my announcement started, the robo-voice started talking, so I couldn't really hear much of what was said. (Dunno why they don't wait until after the announcement.) The voice was female. I could hear some of the words mentioned in previous posts, such as, "no problems with ... account...," so I guess it must have been the same jerks. I thought I heard a "real" voice, so I picked up the phone, but the call was disconnected.
I hate when this happens, esp. when I have to run all the way downstairs when I'm in the middle of something else. I'd been expecting an important call, which is why I ran for it. (No caller ID on the upstairs phones.)
When will phone/computer systems geniuses come up with a way to block these calls? So much for Do Not Call lists.
