Got a call from this # just now, recorded message about getting a free cruise for answering a short survey. Chose "9" to be removed from their list. But, I've gotten this exact call before (though I don't know if it was from the same #), and chose "9" then, too, so you see how well that works.
Got the call, but didn't get a message about the cruise or the loan. Bummer, I wouldn't mind a paid vacation.
What they mean is "press 9 to be added to the repeat calling list"... Just like replying to email spam, this just confirms there's a live body on the other end of the line that they can keep harrassing.
