I got this call today, August 2. The ID was TELEMARKET FRAUD. I did not pick up the phone. If they expect people to answer their call, they should give another ID! I dialed the number back and there was a recorded message if I do not want to take advantage of their special offer to select Option 1 to have my number put on their do not call list. I am already on the do not call list. How do they get away with this annoyance?
"Hi, this is John from Seniors Info. I've got some important information for you regarding your federal government death benefit of $255.00 to help with funeral and burial expenses.

Press the '1' key to see what you qualify for."
They have called and left messages twice, July 3 and August 6 both times the message was: “…….Press 1 now if you are interested in taking a luxury cruise aboard Carnival Cruise Lines at this limited time offer giving you this incredible 75% discount. Press 2 to decline this special offer." I left a message at the carnival website about this.
