I too have been having a problem with these calls.
The mistake we make is signing up for something online
from a site that passing the "lead" (our name, phone number
and/or email) to others, many others. The lady I talked to
thanked me for not just hanging up on her.(one of the nice ones)
BUT, they still keep trying . . . in some instance the list
of "leads" is distributed to a mass of telemarketers which
is why we continue to get repeated calls. The one who "wins"
gets the commission.
Be careful where you enter info online!!!!
(even then, you're still not fully protected,
aggressive companies can still get your number if they want
it bad enough)
My mistake was following a link through a social site
and signing up for this work from home business.
Oops! I will be more careful next time.
Three calls yesterday 9:34am 10:26AM 3:51PM
Two calls today 3:45pm 4:06pm
I have received the car warranty notices since buying a used car back in sept of 08' I believe they have gotten number thru car dealer list..here in south texas. SOB's probably are selling our numbers and names. Really pisses me off cause this is a business phone and I have to answer all calls.
This link I did a search with....the info is online but I didn't feel like paying Intellius for their service, for all I know it is them trying to drum us business calling random folks,pissing them off and then they pay Intellius for their service.....well....maybe? lol
here is the link http://www.intelius.com/results.php?ReportType=33&&PHPSESSID=95259b0d2d271417bf66bfa4e0106eeb
These guys are actually missing me at work - they don't leave messages on voicemail, so I guess I'm lucky enough to escape their problem. My work number is already on the do not call registry, so I don't think they care about any protection laws.
This number has called and called and called. After dialing over and over again (like 30 times) I finally got ahold of an actual person (AMAZING) and told her that I was considering filing harrasment charges against them for calling my phone in one day of up to 45 times!! She immediately said "Oh My God, that should never happen. I apologize so much and I am taking your number off of the list and you should receive no further calls." It's not easy getting ahold of these folks, use a scare tactic lol. Hey, worked for me!
