They are calling you at your HOME. Don't you go there to get away from the outside world?
This telemarketing stuff has to stop....
Hey, I just thought of something:
You know how a guy has to ask a woman for her number before he can call? The same kind of thing should apply here... unless a business asks me for my number, they aren't gonna get it... unless they STEAL it from some database.. a home phone number is NOT to be given out unless the homeowner/renter gives it out!
Snail mail, that I can accept. Less intrusive. But calling on the phone? NO.
Called at work. It's a cruise scam. They claim no credit card info is needed, but they'll call you back and ask fo $118 in a few days. See: http://kingkabuz.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/caribbean-cruise-line-scam/
It's always about answering survey questions to get a free cruise. This is the 8th different phone number from the same caller. Each time I call the number back & get a recording about the FCC requirements to opt out. The message asks me to verify the number, then asks me to enter my number, and then inform me that it will take up to 72 hours to be removed. And it's true - that number doesn't call me again, but they may have 25-50 numbers they use.
