We have to be able to do something, surely the sheer number of postings can qualify as a petition and get our gov't agencies to help out.
Anyone know Oprah, she could stop this.
I had just brought my phone into Verizon and they said I need an upgrade. Later that day I got my first call from this number. I suspect Verizon maybe have sold a list. Hmm the plot thinkens.
I've ignored the calls until last week, when the frequency increased from one or two a day to 7.
Filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission will not solve the problem according to the person I spoke to today. Her advice was to register my phone number at Donotcall.gov. I did that last week but it takes 30 days to go into effect. If they continue to call after the 30 days, I can file a complaint with the Do Not Call people.
So for now I will have to endure the harassment and enjoy jerking these people around. This afternoon, I answered the call and said I wanted to order 1000 valium today so I could sell them on the street for twice as much as I paid. If they call back this evening I'm going to pretend I'm a cat.
I received another call at 7:01 p.m. from "Unknown" that my husband intercepted. Again it was the pharmacy people. His response to every question was "Are these the pills that help me to see dragons?" Or "I'll only talk about dragons." And "I'm wasting your time because when you call this number, we will only talk about dragons."
At 8:51 p.m. "Unknown" called again and my husband answered the call. This time the caller said "I want to f*** you." Anytime my husband responded, the caller replied "I want to f*** you."
I've decided that I will continue to call the FTC and add to my complaint. Despite the fact that I was told they can't do anything to stop the calls, I figured the more evidence they have on file, the better.
