Got a call from this number, 316-300-0000, at 4:44 PM today - and it popped up on my cell phone from Kansas. Area Code 316 is Wichita. Further, my caller ID said it was a person named Ron Gier, who google associated with that majorly sucky SPRINT corporation.
Yes, the same sucky company that lays off thousands of employees at a time, some times right before the holidays, and sold off thousands of network employees to their bedmate, Ericsson. And yes, the same company who bought Nextel for a bizillion dollars and then lost their pants with the sour deal for no other reason than to pay bonus and stock to former Nextel managers and excutives who have now screwed the once powerful and admired Sprint Corporation into the ground. Yes, a wonderful example of American Greed and how to destroy what once was an excellent example of American Business. Sprint used to command a huge amount of respect in the marketplace - remember Candice Bergen and the PIN DROP commercials? But now, it's all been squandered by executives who actually get paid to destroy what was once great. Shame on the FCC for allowing any of this to happen, but, most of all - shame on those individuals at Sprint and their board of directors that knowlingly went down this road. It's a pity, too, since Sprint was founded by good people who actually cared about families and communities. Now, it's all about money. Money. Money. And, they don't care how they get it - they just want it - more and more of it. Not for their employees - but for their executives. What a perfect example of GREED. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Was a recorded message regarding "my credit card" (although I have none) and that this was my 2nd and final notice, press 1 to get more information, so I did, and asked the man to remove my # off his list. He verified my # (from caller ID I'm sure) then asked me to wait while he processed it. then he asked how old I am. I said I don't know what that has to do with anything and he asked if I was older than 18? And I said yes, then he asked again for my age and I repeated I want him to remove my phone # off their list. he said if I was 20, I had a young [***] and if I was older than that, it was an old [***]. At which point I hung up.
I have no idea who the company was but that was downright rude. I was hoping I could find out the name of the company.
I received the same message, but as soon as I realized it was recorded and heard press 1, I hung up. I'm on the Do Not Call List which puts them at risk of getting fined... but I deleted their number out of my call log. :( Will still try to see if I can file a complaint.
