I don't know but I keep getting calls from this number, also tried to be removed and no longer pick up to bother with that. I am elderly and also on the Do Not Call List but half the telemarketers don't care and figure nothing happens to them if they call everyone anyway, so they just do. There seems to be no teeth in that list to prevent abuse. I also keep my phone for family and emergencies only..but it rings all day long with this kind of unwanted junk. Many..like carpet cleaners, are recorded....we have no carpet.
Both major political parties and each candidate's workers call incessantly whenever an election is near....and I am a registered Independent. One campaign worker became irate because I refused to tell him who I intended to vote for...and here I always thought our vote was as private as we wanted it to be.
Plus every group under the son you have and have not heard of calls wanting donations. These last groups...political and charities.. are all allowed by the Do Not Call List to call you and as often as they like. If you live in my zip code, your mailbox is not only filled daily with junk mail...I heard we were the highest junk mail zip code...but your phone can be hard for any call you want, even an emergency call, to get through on the line.
Called my cell phone to lower my credit card interest rate. I do not have a balance on my credit card. This was a telemarketer and they were rude when I asked them to remove me from their list.
I called them back to the same number, and the machine told me to press one to be put on their Do Not Call List. They also said it would take 24 to 72 hours for it to go thru.
I seriously doubt these people will honor your request to be added to their do no call list. They are violating federal law by calling people on the national do not call registry, and also using recorded messages in their calls. Do you really think they care about your request to be on their do not call list?
Amen x-wizard! So nice of them to give you a fake dnc option if you call them back, eh? (Point well done)
If you think your clicking on spam removal from your email account works when they give you the same option, I've got some swamp land to sell you.
I am also on the DNC list with our ever effective government, and this has not yet stopped scam/spam phone callers from flooding my phone with solicitative calls. It would be advised to notice there are two different scams they have tried already in the notations made in these posts.
1-Credit Card, 2. Pharmaceutical Marketing.
Clearly Phishing for information you are willing to give, likely to be filed away so that you can be put on the ages old Nigerian email scam in the future.. I would suggest just not answering the phone, and if you just can't help yourself from answering your phone, I would suggest finding that moment they call you to unleash your pent up need to curse at someone at that time and hang up.
