Received a pharmaceutical sales call from 404-795-2144. I asked twice to be removed from their calling list and the idiot told me he would not remove me from the list.
It was my own stupidity that led me to give a caller from this same pharmaceutical sales outfit my checking account number about a year ago, to purchase diet pills. Nothing happened for about three weeks -- then I received a diet medication in the mail -- sent from New Delhi. (It was not the med we talked about on the phone, but a substitute I'd never heard of -- which did not work particularly well for me. Should have sent them back but didn't.)
The sales calls continued unabated, of course, though I asked, threatened and begged them to stop. I continuously declined to purchase anything else. But suddenly, 5 or 6 months after the first delivery, another package of the meds showed up unrequested and, as far as I knew, unpaid for (no checks lodged against my account -- YET.) About 3 weeks later, got a call from a guy from same company who wanted to "give me a delivery number." After a heated discussion in which I repeatedly said I had ordered nothing, he expressed confusion, and kept trying to give me this "delivery confirmation" number. I didn't take the number, but I guess the call served their purpose of claiming I had ordered. About two weeks later -- perhaps strategically "slipped in" when I might not be looking -- a check with "authorization on file" processed in my account for $299.
I was furious, but eventually -- feeling stupid and guilty for not returning the pills that second time -- I did nothing.
Well, it just happend again. Pills arrived today -- this time I never spoke to anyone from the company, on any occasion, on any pretext (finally got caller I.D. and just don't answer "out of area" calls.) Today, I immediately got online to check my account: yep, "Intertrans - Global Innovators processed a check for $260 about a week ago, with the notation "authorization on file."
This time I'm going to the mat. I hope I don't have to change my checking account number, but whatever it takes -- these dudes will not just "take some" whenever they please.
