I bought cigs from them a few years ago - they had stickers on them from Tel-Aviv - the cigarettes are fake, had to throw them out cause smoking is bad enough but when you aren't sure what's in them, could be lethal - I know, they already are!
Every year they start calling again to see if I want more - I say no and then a year later it starts all over again.
I am a Duty Free Depot customer and have received calls from them as well. Always I was not home and the answering machine got it. So in my case they were not in violation of Do Not Call.
BTW, these are NOT fake cigarettes in any way. They are usually from outside-the-US plants, and some argue that such cigs contain less additives not more. Possible to get cartons where the price is as low as 1.80 per pack but usually between 2.00 and 3.00 per pack. But more than 3.00 for some.
This is something new. They have never called us before. If it gets to be a problem I may choose to just send them email since they already have my contact info anyway.
Still not certain what we are dealing with here. If the calls are placed from outside the US Do Not Call laws don't apply. It's also possible that this is a marketer who has contracts with Duty Free Depot and other companies. In that case they are legal if calling from the US but only if they keep careful records and stop calling 18 months after the last business transaction.
I have gotten 19 calls from the number 213-725-5285 since 1/18. I never answer my phone and also, they leave no message. When I tried to call the number back, it just disconnects. How can we stop this number from calling us? Driving me crazy.
