They call several times a week. They don't say anything when I answer and don't leave a message when the machine picks up. I have called the number and it says if you want to be put on the Do Not Call list to call the number it gives. I would love to talk to someone so that I can quiz them!!! If I do get someone when they call I, too, will pretend to be a business!!!!
They call every day and never leave a message or they just hang up. Today I picked it up. He paused a few moments before he spoke so that I was about to hang up. He sounded young and African-American. He said, "we're conducting a radio survey from Los Angeles as to which station plays most in your area. What station do you listen to"
He already had my address and my last name and then asked my first name.
I said, "where did you get this?"
He said, " from the DMV where you go to register for your license."
I said, "I didn't think they would give that out, what do you need all that for?"
He said, "to verify that you live in Los Angeles."
I said, "I don't live in Los Angeles."
He said, 'You don't?"
"No," I said.
Then he said, "but you live in California?"
"Yes."
"Oh, bye." he said.
I wish I would have asked him who he was or who did he represent, I just wasn't ready!
Just got a call from them 5 mins ago. Asked who they are and she told me ORC ProTel. I asked why they are calling me when I am on the DNC list. She gave me attitude. I asked for a # of her superior, she said she didn't have one.
I called back the Caller ID # and it says they are ORC ProTel.
This is their website. http://www.orcprotel.com/Default.asp
She claimed at one point that the DNC list didn't exclude their calls which is BS.
Whoever this is is really beginning to piss me off. They call every other night around 9 or 9:30 pm. That's at night! When I'm usually either asleep or getting ready to be. I put my number on the national do not call list about 6 months ago,but these jerks obviously ignored it! I will be reporting them to whoever the proper authorities are!
