FINALLY...no more ringing phone!!!! And it did not cost me a dime and I am off their phone list.
You want rid of these jokers, check this out:
First, you want to get 'human'. When they call, say "Hello" once and only once (this is a very important step). Wait for them to pick up the line, then when they answer and ask for Mr/Ms "Blank", answer in the affirmative "Yes" (this too is a very important step). Now, in your nicest and friendliest voice possible AFTER s/he starts their sales pitch (mainly to avoid from them hanging on you), you say, "I'm sorry, but I've told you this before, I don't have a VA Loan. In fact, I don't even own this house. How many times do I have to say this? Could you please remove me from your calling list?"
Remember, niceness is the key to your freedom, rudeness will get you nowhere. In fact, pissing them off only intensfies the problem/calling. {You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar}. Trust me, I know. I've called these jokers every dirty word I could possibly think off before this tactic and it didn't do anything except create more headaches.
You may have to repeat this process once or twice more, but within 24 hours after telling them this story, they've stopped calling. It's been days since their last call and I'm enjoying the silence. The name of the game is to convince them that you are not a homeowner and you don't have a VA loan (DON'T tell them you have a VA loan even if you really do). They will eventually give up on you because they figure that they can't make money of someone that has no house/loan. It's that simple.
But, PLEASE continue to report these jokers to your State's Attorney General office, FCC, FTC, DNC Registry, BBB, etc. The more complaints filed on them, the better than the chance to shut them down permanently and maybe get some legal/punitive action put on them. Good Luck!!!
Received three calls in an hour and a half. Left no msg. I am on the Do Not Call registry, but am told they can't do anything about random number generators. Great. Please make this caller go away!
This number has tried calling me 7 times in the last two days!! This time showed up as ANNOUNCEMENT. They can't even pronounce names correctly. STOP CALLING!!!!
Phone calls being routed via Kent, WA area from international phone bank. Company using spoofing or similiar means to bypass telephone call blocking. Six phone calls in the past 24 hours. Complaint filed with local law enforcement and the FCC. I have an unlisted number and I am on the national "do not call" registry. Awaiting law enforcement documentation to file the civil suit for harrassment / emotional distress = damages.
