No message. No one there to yell at when I pick up the phone. No voicemail or name on caller id. The number is blocked now. Our policy is to never use any product or service that has to resort to this kind of harassment. If everyone did that, it would go away. There is no law that says you have to answer the phone.
I got a call from this number with the same story. This call was strange to me. I told him I was not interested, to take me off his scam list and to never call me back.
This number still calls almost everyday of the week, every week. Including weekends! Sev. times, I've requested them to stop calling, they persist. I don't answer anymore. It is harassment. I'd never do business with this company. Ever!!!!
I have been receiving phone calls daily from this number for weeks and they never leave a message so tonight, I pick the phone up and say, "Hello." Nikki begins her sales pitch. I ask how she got my number because I am registered with the National Do Not Call list. She tells me, "A magic unicorn gave it to me." Nice.
When I ask for her supervisor, she hangs up on me. I dial the number back and, of course, the recording says that the number is not in use. How can companies use fake numbers, daily calls, and rude salespeople without a means of repercussion or reprieve from daily harassment?
This telemarketing ploy is a suspected phishing scam. Right after the call is over, hang up and hit *57 to have the phone company run a trace on the most recent incoming call. It's obviously not from number reported. Then follow up with a call to the local police non-emergency number to file a complaint. Give the police your number and let them know that you've done a *57.
Also, you may file a complaint with donotcall.gov whether or not your phone number is on the National Do Not Call Registry, especially if you have spoken with them and asked them not to call your number in the future, but they still do.
