First call recieved:
Older, gruff Man with no discernible accent, amidst the background of a group of people.
Man: Hello, hello?
Me: * Did not respond*
automatic message machine: You have been kicked from this conference call.
I called back to request an explanation.
Second call:
automatic message machine: Hold on while we transfer your call.
*call waiting classical music plays*
Me: *hangs up*
I hope they didn't pinpoint my location because not only was I at home at the time that I picked up the phone, but I called back whilst at home! :/
206-496-0418 called my home number six times in ten days. I called back, it was a telemarking firm for Auto Shield regarding an expired policy that came with a Jeep Grand Cherokee my wife bought from Auto Max five years ago. Easy way I stopped the calls: I told them the car was totaled in an accident. (I resisted the temptation to add that the accident was due to me running down a small group of Auto Shield telemarketers who were crossing the road).
I am the CFO and Operations Manager of American Auto Shield. This company is mentioning our name, but it is NOT our company. If anyone has any information on who this company actually is, please contact me at 800-531-1925 so we can explore legal action against this company. Thank you.
