Update: The calls began yesterday with an initial call regarding a survey. I protested that I was on the "Do Not Call" list and the caller hung up. Now the calls are coming in almost every hour, and there's never anyone on the line when I pick up. I have filed a complaint with the FTC and on donotcall.gov. I believe this is an 800 line provided by AT&T and shared by several telemarketers, since earlier today I found a cached ad for a "fun" job as a telemarketer for "Marketplace on First" in Cedar Rapids on the AT&T web site. AT&T says they don't investigate complaints about telemarketing because "it's not illegal" -- but what about when they're calling people on the "donotcall" list? Can anyone verify that this number is registered to Joann Mauck, 319-365-9738, Cedar Rapids, IA?
I receive at least 5 calls a day. Answered one of their calls & finally girl started speaking. Its regarding a Republican Survey. I told them to take me off their calling list & hung up. I'll keep you posted if the calls actually stop.
