No way to make it stop, as far as I can tell. Calls a few times a week, sometimes twice a day. As soon as I pick it up, there is nobody there. Even if it's a 'legitimate' business, they should not be calling like this.
These calls- and the many calls like them- are f*king annoying. I'm on the gvt Do Not Call list which is pointless because it's ignored by all the people who ignore the law. I am a strong supported of gun control- but HERE there is an analogy which is true: The law only stops people who pay attention to the law.
What the government needs to do is legislate to stop this telemarketing/spam crap from happening and enforce the law. They will not because of the companies that lobby for this access to your real mailbox, email mailbox, and your phone number.
Want to save the environment? How about tell companies to stop mailing me so many catalogs and unsolicited postal mail. Is that going to ever happen? No.
So, sit back, relax, listen to the phone ring from calls you don't want, read the junk mail you don't want, delete the emails you don't want, and dodge the bullets from the guns now legal in your neighborhood.
our local phone company has a call trace , after you recieve the call hang up and call *57 and after three times the you call a 1-800 number given to you during the trace and the phone company will take action as a harassing call. So check to see if your local provider has something similar ,I found out about it in our local phone book.
DEAR ANNOYED
the reason you keep getting calls is because MOST people never bother to report them to the DNC website - You did not mention that you have filed a complaint. If you did great - IF YOU DID NOT - DO IT NOW!
THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THEY RECEIVE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS.
Most will come here and post their complaint - but thats it.
Just look at how many people that post "STOP CALLING ME" here. Like that is really going to do any good. But they actually think that is how you "FILE A COMPLAINT" with the government to stop it.
Just look at the number of posters who claim they do not know who or how to complain - while at the same time claim to be on the DNC list. Yet never think to go to the DNC website and file the complaint - "ITS TOO HARD" OR "ITS TOO MUCH TROUBLE" EXPECT SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO DO IT FOR ME
