after reading this I *67 them and got sent directly to a answering machine with 2 options: 1) to remove your name, do not call list. 2) to find out about our services. NO COMPANY / PRODUCT name just this message. I choose to have my name removed pressed that option and then left a nasty message...minus my cell phone call back #. This smeelllllsssss like a RAT !
They call me at home constantly. It's an auto dialing service, and they're selling a car warranty. I've asked several times to be removed from their mailing list. When I call them back, I get a message that says I've been removed from their preferred customer call list. Nonetheless, they keep calling. I've given up hitting the option to be removed from their call list...I've done so several times and they keep calling. Now I ask to speak with a rep, and when I get one, I ask who it is...and of course I'm immediately hung up on.
spoke to a lady at the FCC. On her advise, I signed up for the national do not call registry. If they call me again after 31 days from today, Feb 11, I can and will file a complaint.
BTW, anyone who buys a warranty from one of these companies is being swindled. These warrantis are all scams anyway. Just try and file a claim with them...you'll have as much luck getting them to pay up as I have trying to figure out who the hell they are.
Just got a call that "either I or a friend" had entered my name in a store I don't shop in, several hundred kilometers away, and that I'd won a free trip. I didn't bother hanging on long enough to find out what the hook to this scam is. Oddly enough I had a blank number call two days earlier that started out telling me I'd won a free trip too.
This is definitely a scam going on - I'm in Canada with no "Macy's or Bloomingdale" displays about vacations, but I'm still getting multiple phone calls similar to Gary's - "I or a friend" had entered my name (not that they actually use my name, mind you!) and we'd won a trip ... beware!
