They just called me again since June 23. Said they were from some vegetation website and got my request for applying for a college. It doesn't seem as much as a prank call like the last one I got. Last time I heard laughter in the background.
I signed up for a job under Yahoo Jobs. Under part time project Manager this item: "Work from Home Full Time or Part Time/ Paid Market Reserchers - Suvey Taker Positions Available. When you went there there were testimonials from people who said they made between $5 to $25 for taking surveys of products - only those you wanted. Foolishly needing extra cash, I signed up. Required was email address, Name and phone number - all legitimate items for job requirement. Once I put in my information I was inundated with hundreds of ads and I had to put yes or no on each one. I put no on each one. Since then, it is mail and phone hell. Constant solicitations to buy everything.
Guess what - the phone calls began - the first one was a local number but after the dreaded 337-606-4068 showed up.
Reading the 4 pages of Google search on this number means that once you apply for a job, you are in Telemarketer HELL. This is fraud. Report it to the FTC. I have.
Annoyed
Got a call this morning from this number on my cell and after extensive research online found and calling them back they are "The Education Authority." Seems after my research they are a Telemarketer contracted by the above name to phone hunt individuals mostly on that "Do not call" list. Here is how you get your revenge. When they call - do not answer. Instead, wait tell the automated caller hangs up. Then call THEM back! Keep calling every 5-10 min. When someone answers. Hang up. If everyone does this it will flood there automated calling system and lock it up preventing them from using or making calls. It is just that simple...
