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!!!
Got multiple calls from this number. I asked to be taken off the list and was told
no".
It's registered to a Gerald W Robinson in Kent Washington. Maybe if people start looking up numbers for this guy and calling him at home he may rethink his business model. This information was provided by http://www.freephonetracer.com
This number keeps calling, and the people doing the talking are trying to ask about VA benefits. I have told this people several times to stop calling, but they continue to call on a daily basis, and when I try to call the number back, it rings once and hangs up. Frustrating to be getting this type of calls daily. Is there anything that can be done about this? This is harassment.
Yeah they call me from time-to-time. I need to start answering my phone. I'm usually jamming with the boys and can't get to it. I'm more curious than anything...I'm a lonely guy and welcome a new pal to talk to everyday.
They have called my house several times over the last two weeks, but today they have called 4 times in the last 1.5 hours!! never anyone there, they just hang up. I tried calling it back and it stopped ringing but no one answered, It shows up on my caller ID as "annoucement". I talked to them once, couldnt understand very well, asked for my husband i said to take me off your list stop calling, and they immediately hung up! I have no clue who they are, i just wish they would stop! Im about to just get rid of my house phone, im tired of the scammers!
