I have a habit of cursing an entire boiler room, and hopefully even the cells in their bodies will throw up from listening to the curses. Sharp curses tend to affect the future generation of these callers. Due to the intensity of these curses, a mutated caller would end up creating a far worse mutated offspring BUT the offsprings will be so disabled that they won't be to operate a computer like their screwed up mommy's and daddy's.
Get a call twice a day from this number saying I am eligible to receive discounts on my electric bill. I hung up twice yesterday. Today I pressed 0 to talk to an operator and I was hung up on.
I then called the number and got a recording that stated if you want taken off the do not call list to press 1. I did this so hopefully they won't call anymore.
I am tired of these people calling. Sometimes 5 times a day or more if I hang up on them. Client Services..how to lower your electric bill or cardholder services, how to lower your interest rates. These people hang up on me, or when I call back an automated voice asks if you want to be removed from their listing to press 1 and it will take 24 hours. That was 5 months ago and they still call.
I have been getting several phone calls from this number for about a month and its very aggravating as I'm not well and I lie down during the day sometimes. When I've answered it a recording comes on about my saving money on my electric bill . If I want to opt out of these calls the recording says "press 1 to not receive any more calls " and it'll take 24 hrs for this to happen. But that's never the case. I called my electric supplier and they said to call the BBB and report it to the Atty Gen'ls Office.
We are all brainwashed to want to jump up and answer the phone when it rings. We have to un-brainwash ourselves. Here's how:
Stop before you pick up the call. Look at the Caller ID. Does it show a name and/or number or no number that you recognize? Do not pick up the call!
If by some chance you do pick up the call, hang-up immediately. If you hear the message, and it tells you to push a particular button, do not push any button. Hang up immediately!
Report the call information to the FCC call complaint site. You may think that this serves no purpose, but persistence does produce results. See the forums here at 800notes and see the stories about how some spammers, scammers, and phishers are being shut down -- even if only for a while. They ARE being shut down.
