These people keep calling me even though I have told them multiple times that I am no longer interested in their service and to please stop. They get your number through job search websites and because you gave the info voluntarily, they have the right to harass you as often as they wish. They also told me that to get out of their system, I have to call them back. That is total [***], it didn't work and only perpetuates you in their system. These are mean-spirited people who don't care about inconveniencing people. All they care about is getting your business so they can earn more money from non-profit educational institutions who already charge way too much for tuition.
THIS NUMBER CAME THROUGH ON MY CALLER I.D. 20 MINUTES AGO. I DID NOT KNOW THE CALLER SO I DIDN'T ANSWER. THEY DID NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE. I GOOGLED IT AND SAW THE COMMENTS ABOVE. I CALLED THE NUMBER AND THE RECORDING SAID IT WAS DISCONNECTED. IN 20 MINUTES IT BECAME DISCONNECTED? THEY HAVE TRICKS ON HOW TO DO THAT.
This,as many similar calls, are number spoofed. This particular company is trying to refer you to an educational institution to get a referral fee percentage of your tuition. Telemarketers and phone solicitors are using number and name spoofing to call people in a certain markets and disguise their numbers as a local area code and prefix to increase the likelihood of a person answering. They are calling people off multiple job websites who have recently posted resumes as they are more likely to see a local number and answer assuming it's a perspective employer calling. The caller sometimes uses a known number that is disconnected so that you do not call back the number and realize it's a sales call and not answer when they call back a day or so later. In more recent times, they are expecting you to call back and when their Caller ID system identifies you, your info. is displayed on their computer screen so they are ready to sell you their product. 99.9% of the time, if it's a legitimate employer trying to reach you, they will leave a message with their name, company name and contact info.
