This number showed up on caller ID. A recording left a partial message telling me that for only $299 I could take advantage of the offer! Not sure what the offer was since the message was a partial message.
Guess the robo calling machine thought my voicemail greeting was a live person!
Really doesn't matter what you do, they simply don't EVER quit. They have been harassing me for about three years now.
These same characters used to bounce calls through Costa Rica to get around the "do not call" regulations. Since the "do not call" isn't really enforced, they don't bother doing that.
For a while they were offshore in India. One one occasion I had some fun ripping their rep a new a**hole (I quit the subtle tactics long ago) I got the Indian so pi**ed off he spent about two hours trying to get my phone to ring off the hook.... ever hear an Indian attempt to barrage you with a stream of profanity... it's actually quite funny... especially when you egg him on... sheer profundity.
On another occasion I tried the "This is Detective Larson, what is your relation to the deceased", they hung up. Two days later they called again, must have thought I was ascended from the dead (or was that reincarnated, I get confused).
Once they have your number, punching 3 does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I have started shutting my ringer right off and only listen to my messages twice a day. No annoying rings to listen to and the people closest to me have my cell anyway. So far, it's been great.
