called this morning. seems my number is out there. fifth telemarketer in two days. somehow my number has been released and now i am in the unfortunate mix.
They called my cell number, I didn't answer, and they left me a loud angry message on my voicemail saying "....OFF THE PREFERRED LIST...", and then it cuts off. The beginning of it cuts in at the OFF part. Very strange! I thought it was someone I've been having arguments with - as the number seemed familiar - but after googling, it's not.
Hopefully that is the first and LAST time I receive a call from them.
I seem to get calls during the day from this number on a regular basis. (I work in a private office in the SF Bay Area --- with my own personally listed number but with the extra request (and charge) that no street address was to be published. (I still need an ability for others to go through information to get my phone number. If I do not recognize the name or number on my caller ID --- I just do not answer. FYI my landline provider is AT&T --- AND AT&T SELLS EVERY LISTED NUMBER TO YAHOO. AND YAHOO, IN TURN SELLS IT TO TELEMARKETERS AND OTHER. That's why you get all these unwanted calls.
