Somebody at this number called twice. The first time I hung up when nobody responded to my two hello's. The second time they called, I put my 6 week old on the phone to goo and gaa for a few minutes!
I ran to get the phone, had seen this number before, and just wanted to tell them to stop calling. I said hello, and they waited two seconds, and then just hung up! What the?!
Report it to the FTC via the National do not call list website. If you are on the list, you can report it. The more people that do makes the chances of an investigation and them getting caught better!! :)
Received a call just like others in this thread on 10/24/08 and *69'd it back to 401 401-1122, which doesn't accept incoming calls. I looked up and called VMS, and after some resistance from the switchboard operator, spoke with a manager named Patrick Johnson. He claims the numbers he calls come from leads he receives from Sales Genie. I told him I'm on the do not call list, and he said he'd take my number off his call list. He then started to ridicule and berate me for calling him about the do not call registry. Sounds like a boiler room operation to me!
They called again today - I was in a curious mood so I answered. The man who was clearly from India, told me his name was Peter something or other calling from Monitronics and that this is not a sales call. I said it had better not be. He asked if I have a smoke alarm and I told him it was none of his business and that he'd better remove my number from their list and he started to bluster as I hung up.
