Maybe people do not want to be harassed by unknown companies calling their phones all day. In most of these cases you all call the number and confirm it's a working number and hang up and being someone with common sense it tells me your company is just selling the working numbers to other telemarketers for prophet. Get a [***] real job and quit harrasing people.
The same situation as all of the above. Call but don't leave a message and the one time I picked up they said they were from Publishers something or other and asked if I was Linda and gave my correct last name, then hung up on me too. I got a Publishers entry form in the mail a few days later saying I was entered into a drawing that I never knew about and wanted me to fill in information and mail it back in. It went in the trash. However I found using a reverse directory search online, that the number 310-370-9781, is a land line in the Redondo Beach area in California.
Same thing happened to me. The number was 310-241-2969. I answered and they hung up. I believe they've called before and the number looks like a number i got a random text from saying "who is this?" of course I responded back with the same question since they texted me first. I called back this number after they called me and *67ed it and that's how got Publishers Headquarters.
I have received several calls from this number. Caller does not leave message. This evening, I answered, the caller identified herself as Hillary, I think, or maybe Tiffany, from Publishers Headquarters. She asked me how I was, I answered by asking if she was soliciting. She responded that she wasn't and again, dripping sarcasm, asked me "How are you this evening?" I asked what she was calling about and she replied, "Oh, just dripping in rudeness this evening, aren't we?" I resisted the urge to filet her with my impressive command of profanity, instead said "Goodnight" and hung up. I called back, someone picked up, hung up, and the number has been busy ever since.
How can we stop these people? Isn't what they're doing against the Do Not Call Laws????
