Definitely a bad player. This number called my cell. When called back I received a recording asking for date of birth, social security number and full name under the guise of the "opt out" program. I hadn't called the "do not call" number for over a year. Very slick recorded voice but I believe it's a more sophisticated version of Phishing.
This number called my cell AND my husbands cell.
We were in Wal Mart and I hit the "ignore" button on my phone. When we got out to the truck, he checked his phone and wondered who it was. He said the number and I told him that the same number called my phone just a few minutes before.
Found this site and wanted to add in TWO more calls from these bastages ~
I couldn't agree MORE. Yeah, they wanted it deregulated, so lobbyists can pay them and give them perks. I work from home and get telemarketing calls on my business line constantly, to the point I can't even get my work done. I don't answer, so many times they leave a message on my answering machine, but more often don't leave a message. I've gotten to where I don't even answer calls when they're not calling from my home state. The sad fact is that business customers with phone companies cannot opt out from receiving telemarketing calls. Why exactly is that? Well, a couple of years ago I called my sorry senators in Georgia, Saxey Chambliss and Johnny Isaakson's office, and they told me that the reason business lines were exempt from being on the Do Not Call List was because the telemarketers might be calling to offer a service or product I might be interested in. Oh, really? I guess I know who's donating tons of money to their campaigns -- businesses and telemarketers. If I don't want the dang calls, I don't want them, plain and simple. Also, I am more than capable of searching and buying products and services without telemarketers pushing their crap. Honestly, who in their right mind would actually agree to buy a product or service from a telemarketer? I don't know of anyone who has, ever. Most people buy in stores or from reputable businesses online. As we've seen too much lately, Congress is totally dysfunctional and we need to vote these idiot senators out of office. Oh, and reporting abusers to the FCC is a joke!
