Here's the answer to all our prayers. I found this on a site I posted a telemarketer's number at. I tried it and it WORKS! I put the tones at the beginning of my phone greeting about three months ago and in the last three weeks have had "ZERO" calls. Whover posted that "THANK YOU, THANKI YOU". Here's what I found:
Telemarketers almost exclusively use autodialers to make their calls. One out of a thousand will have live reps doing the dialing. When these dialers connect (you answer the phone) they first listen for any tones generated. If no tones are detected they then transfer the call to one of the reps in a call center. If the autodialer hears the 3 beeps from dialing a "DISCONNECTED" number, the number that was just dialed is automatically "REMOVED" from their list. Below is a link that has this tone plus the verbal message. You DO NOT need the verbal message. Download or copy the "DISCONNECTED" MP3 or WAV file to your desktop. Create or change the greeting you have when someone calls you and you're not available. At the VERY BEGINNING of your message place the 3 tones (NOT THE VOICE MESSAGE) then continue with your usual or normal greeting. The autodialer will hear the tones and BINGO, your number will be removed since they think it's a disconnected number. DONE. In a few weeks you will be removed from all or most of the lists. Of course you may have to explain the tones to the callers you DO want to speak to but that's a small tradeoff. Pass this info on to anyone you know that gets junk calls or even help post this on these websites. If you continue getting calls after reading this, it's your "OWN" fault! END JUNK CALLS.
we get this phone number calling our company all the time and then they hang up we are having them investigated and then we will threaten them a harressement charge this is a job and it seems like they have nothing to do but look up numbers to call
this number always call us and hang up please can the FBI or some one in that field help track them down and shut them down from calling a business thanks
according to the fair trade commission they are allowed to call as many times between the hours of 8am thru 9pm within the time zone of your area. this is legal however if they cuss or threaten you in any way you can report them to the fair trade commission. they cannot threaten you with a lawsuit or garnish your pay..that is illegal..........they cannot use racial slurs this is also illegal. I have checked into this and i am waiting for the 1 time they call me b4 8am and after 9pm then i will report them.
