I'm one of the people who call you guys. It is an error with the computer system, because we use a dialer that calls out for us. What it's been doing is hanging up on people when they answer.
The call isn't a scam, and ECW your husband probably did take the survey. Your number doesn't get into the database unless somebody from the household participated in the survey at one point or another. But it could have been 6 months prior to the phone call, and the survey wasn't online, it was over the phone. It also lasted about 2 minutes at the most so it'd make sense if he wouldn't remember.
Also, they didn't tell you that you won anything. There was no contest involved, and I can guarantee you that everybody who works in the office knows not to say the word "win". There's actually no scam, it's a legitimit company. Free system, free installation, then you pay like 30-35 bucks a month for the monitoring.
If you want the calls to stop, your best bet is to answer the phone, and if somebody IS on the other end, politely listen to what they have to say. Hell, you may be able to benefit from the system. If you get somebody and just say "not interested" and hang up, you're going to get another call. Thats just the way it is...
Caller ID says Denise Wilbur. It's about 90 miles from me so i'm going there. I got the address. I don't care if i end up in jail. I'm sick and tired of being harassed by telemarketers. The police wont do anything, the phone company wont do anything and these low life's know it.Time to make a example out of one of these pricks. Even when you ask nicely to be removed...2 days later it starts all over again. screw this.I'm gonna open a can of whoopass.
I have been getting a series of strange calls that ring my phone but cannot be answered. This all started recently first two from (701)223-7209 on Wednesday and now two from (401)444-4444 today. The first one seems to be at about 11:40am EST and the second at about 5:25pm EST.
