Got a call with a prerecorded message peddling dental insurance, if interested I could leave my name and number and an “agent” would call me back. I’ve gotten this call 2 or 3 times before and have always left an angry message to place me on the do not call list. This time I left a name and number for them to call me back.
When the “agent” call back on number 510-979-9528, I listen to his pitch and was able to get some information out of him. He claimed to be from the Dental Enrollment Center, 44904 Osgood Road, Fremont, CA 94539. Though the phone number and address belong to Mirco One a microwave components manufacturer.
The plan he had was from Assurant Health. I firmly told him to put me on their do not call list, that I would be contacting the FTC and Assurant Health (as a customer of Assurant). He was rather apologetic and said he would put my number on the list immediately.
I hope this works and would recommend to everyone to get them to call back and waste their time. Get as much information as to who they represent and contact the companies that are using them.
I got a call from this number, again, today. PhoneTray did the job I want and disconnected the call after one ring. Heh-heh. If a real person is on the other end, they get a message saying that my phone has been disconnected.
