I got a call from a foreign-sounding man at this number, telling me my phone number had been drawn for a chance to win a $50,000 home makeover. I told him no thank you and he hung up.
Picked it up. Called my cell. Was some hard to understand accented man. Couldn't make it out too well since I was on the bus, but heard something about my phone number being a selected number for something having to do with a 50 thousand dollar prize maybe? I don't know but I said I was alright thank you and he said okay thank you have a good day. Was probably a survey.
After having recieved several calls from this number in recent weeks to my cell phone, usually at odd hours, I finally answered to see who was calling me at 11pm on a Sunday night. Accented lady saying she was with "Direct Buy" and that "this is not a sales call". I had been selected to win a trip to the Bahamas or somewhere (lucky me). I told her at what hour she was calling me, that I wasn't interested and asked to be taken off their calling list. She apologized and agreed to do so. We'll see if it works. Another posting said that their DNC-list registration had expired and I'm sure it's been more than 5 years since I last put my number on the list. Just re-registered and hoping that makes a difference...though if these people are operating offshore I'm doubtful they are playing by the rules...especially since cell phones are supposed to be off limits to telemarketers regardless (I thought).
