Has called 2x and hung up on 2 separate dates. Told me they were a law firm. I asked why they would call and hang up. She said she did not know but that it could be lots of reasons. When I told her not to call and hang up. She then hung up.
Actually, these people are saving me over $100 per month! Read on to find out how--
Remember the old days? Be very polite when you answer the phone - may be someone important.
Fast foreward to 2014: Check caller Id before picking up - it's probably a scammer!
My mistake was some years back when I got my first call from a solicitor.
I pledged $15 to be a nice guy. Big mistake!
Next week, several more solicitors, and by next year the phone was ringing off the wall!
Add in the dead lines, ie a computer that rings until you answer, and then dead line.
This computer is profiling when you are home and when you are not, so when a real telemarketer/
solicitor/scammer/political fund raiser calls, they know when to reach you.
After all, their time is valuable (yours isn't!)
The breaking point was this and the two that immediately followed - I had the land line disconnected,
thus saving the $100 per month! I had a phone put in for my convenience, not theirs.
When 3/4 of calls were spam, I just gave family and friends the wife's cell phone number, and she
has instructions to check caller ID before answering.
Do not call list? Worthless - they have ways around it.
Also, when congress enacted the list, they exempted charities and themselves!
BOTTOM LINE - NO Money to anyone over the telephone. Nip it in the bud at the start!
Some consumer debt relief organization making a follow up call to a mailing I never responded to. Left a message which I will not respond to either! I'm taking care of it on my own thankyouverymuch!
