Received a call from this number after 6:00 P.M. today. I also answered on second ring...hung up on other end. Tried to call back and no answer. Very annoying! If they are not going to talk to you why do they bother to call?
Caller identified himself as Bob Austin from Trade Tech Institute trying to get you to invest in an automated trading program. Fees tend to be high, but most concerning is that such companies typically rely on performance schedules based on trades produced by their computer model instead of provable actual past trading results. If not interested, you may request to be put on their DO NOT CALL list. If you keep a record of their calls, you may be surprised how often you still get called.
Received a call today about 4:10 pm. As with Joe Hannes' note above, the same caller made a sales pitch for Trade Tech automated trading system. How the caller got my name and private phone number is a mystery to me. When I asked the caller to direct me to his website he immediately hung up.
These folks have called me for months .... if I talk to a person to ask to get off their calling list, they hang up on me. The first person I talked to, would not even tell me what he was selling, when I asked him. I finally found their actual call in number, and asked to be taken off the calling list (and hopefully that shall work out). It is 1 888 934-6684. If you think that they are an ethical company, selling a good product ... then that seems at odds with the fact that they are breaking LOTS of rules/laws regarding telephone solicitation and whatnot (likewise ... if the system is so good that that are selling, then the telephone solicitors would be at home making money from the system, instead of calling folks about it). They have called me from at least 20 different numbers ... two different prefixes for the last 6 or 7 months. Whatever they think they are accomplishing by the constant harrassment... is beyond me.
