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...
Got the call from 401-444-4444 this evening. says PROVIDENCE on the ID, no company name. He said he was with an alarm company and that I had answered a survey awhile back. Said I won a contest for a free system and the service charge is like $1 a day. Told him not interested and remove me from list. He said they dont really work off a list, just the survey that he said I had anserred before.
I continue to get calls from this number every day even though I am on the DO NOT CALL list. These people should be arrested. Still they hang up when I answer but now caller ID says Denise M Wilbur.
I have gotten several calls from 401-444-4444 and the caller ID says Denise M Wilbur...when I answer they just hang up. Very annoying! I am also on the DO NOT CALL list....
i have gotten the same calls for months now and i never answer. I figured it was a scam.They never leave a message on the machine.I must get 4-6 calls a day everyday. Does anyone know how to stop them
