This "sweepstakes notification" company telephoned and asked for me by name. I was informed that my bank or my credit card company submitted me to the California Sweepstakes and they were pleased to inform me that I won the sweepstakes. Since I have no credit cards and I have my bank under a written letter prohibiting release or sharing my information, I told her so and asked for their full company name, address, telephone, and officers. She asked, "Why do you need our company information?" to which I replied, "So I can report you and your source for violating my written instructions to my financial institution, and report you TO my financial institution for their investigation." At which point she hung up. I am sick of these calls and I am on every "do not" registry there is.
Caller asked for my husband. He was not in so caller asked when he would be home. I told her that I was his wife but she only wanted to talk to my husband. Call was from a land line in CA somewhere. I asked caller if it was a sales call & asked how did she get our unlisted#. She said that it was not a sales call but didn't answer about how she got our number. I asked again how she got our private number. She only anwsered that it "was not a sales call". When I asked again, she hung up. However, the same number called back in 30 secs. I let the answering machine pick up this time but no message was left. This was weird and I was fixing supper so I programmed the number into my call block function.
Our home number is on both of our State's No Call and the National DNC Registry. Our home# is listed with our bank's Customer Service option that they may NOT give it out to their merchants, ... who used to call us "on behalf of" our bank, . . . but the sales calls would be about life insurance or some other sales pitch. These types of calls were very frequent before I changed status with the bank. But the default is that your number is public to sell as long as you're a customer with the company or bank, etc. Sneaky.
This particular caller today had no business calling us so I call-blocked, as I said. She was unprofessional, not forth-coming. These types of phone schemes are ridiculous.
These people are obnoxious, some cow ended up calling me a "stupid [***]" because i advised her that I am on the "do Not Call directory". I don't know who these people are, but I will find out sooner or later.
i am getting harrassing phone calls from this number and i have told them to stop calling my number. they also refuse to tell me who they are. i am getting really annoyed by them calling me. i just want them to stop!!
