When I answered this call they asked for Melissa. I stated there was not Melissa at this number and never had been. She asked if this was ***-***-****, I stated yes. She then stated that she would like to offere me the same services she was going to offer Melissa. I told her that I would like my name taken out of their phone number database, as I was on the Do Not Call Register. She stated that this number was not on the DNC list. I asked her what company she was calling from and she stated the National Debt Bureau. I then hung up.
I get the same calls it is a discount drug company and they will only speak to the person who they are trying to reach. If you have ever ordered from them (vicodine, ambien, xanex, viagra..... the list goes on and on) they will call periodically to try and sell you more medications. You will only get this call if somebody in your household ordered something from them - that is how they get your phone #.
This is not encouraging - it just started on my home phone today. I also do not answer numbers I don't know - if they know me or need to talk to me, they'll leave a coherent message or be ignored, period. I don't have a personal message on my answering machine- just "you have reached....." either. funny - I just re-enrolled my # in the do-not-call registry. NOW I get this! Nope - I've been no no sites involving drugs or cigarettes. Clicked a link on a page advertising a book re diabetic health. Won't do that again. Mine simply says "Los Angeles CA" and the number.
