calls everyday 4 rings then hangs up...caller Id says WINNER...I'M SICK OF THIS CRAP!!! CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE BATHROOM WITH THE DAMN PHONE RINGING FROM THIS NUMBER
The DNC list is a joke but i decided to play with the rep today. I listened to the recorded message and pressed 1. A live and very gulliable agent came on. She asked my name (gave her one but not mine) and then proceeded to play along with her. I answered the "prequalifying" questions-1. do you own or rent?--"why it's paid for",2. does anyone have a medical probelm in your house?--"no" (but I doubt it would actually matter for this "sale")3. has you ever had a GE home security system installed before?--"no". Congratulations you qualify (like there was any doubt). Next she's going to tell me all about the system and how it works. This is when I told her that she was being recorded and that this # was on the DNC. I thought she would hang up but instead I got "why did you let me go thru all of this??? I thought I had a sale, now my conversion rate is bad."
Oh well not my problem!!!!! But at least I now I know who the company is and yes (tho I don't know why) I am reporting them to the DNC.
In the last two days have received about a dozen calls from this phone number. No one is ever there and it sounds like a fax is trying to link up. How to stop this?????????????
I just received a call from WINNER, no message left. As an aside, I believe that if you have an answering machine and it answers, the number knows that it has reached an assigned and working number.
popular number UGH - off to donotcall.gov
I don't think they do anything per se but they are amassing quite a database. can't hurt to report it so they know all the unsolicited calls we're getting in spite of being signed up for do not call.
will send email to pacbell listed on page one.
as always, thanks for everyone's help
