If you get a call from this telemarketer, please file a complaint with the FCC and FTC: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints and http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm. If they receive enough complaints, they'll investigate. In addition, they send information on how to file a lawsuit. Recently, they shut down five of these scams.
Recording said I had entered a competition and had won a free cruise. This is total b/s as I have never done that. They stupidly think by saying that, they imply YOU have allowed them to contact your number which is on the Do Not Call list.
So, as instructed, I push 1 to talk to a representative. I want to know what name is on "my" competition entry. Surely I would have put my name on it? I wanted to have some fun with these fools. Instead, after pushing 1, I get dial tone. Maybe better luck next time and I can waste their time.
I got one too. And since 312 is from Chicago, I answered. Lady said "travel services" in chicago. I registered and won a cruise (*BS*). Then she asked me my name. I asked her why she didnt have that, if I registered, and she hung up.
I bet that there is no company in chicago called "travel services."
Plus, many of these phone calls have spoofed called id, which is why there is no answer when the number is called.
