'BLUES ON CALL' 412-553-8949 called again today (Sunday) asking to speak to my Dad by name. I hung up and called the number on the caller ID, speaking to a 'health coach' named 'Debbie'. I explained that I was tired of getting calls from them asking for my Dad who died 23 years ago. Please remove his number from your calling list. She stated she would be glad to do that, she would pull up the records. She could not locate his name or phone number in her records, even after I gave it to her. I gave her his DOB. She still could not pull up his records without his address. I gave her the city/state and asked if she had anyone else by that same name and same city/state and birthdate? Debbie stated she could not give out that information. She asked if he had insurance with them? When I asked if it was Freedom Blue she said, "Yes". I said I wasn't sure, but I doubted it. After Debbie had his name, complete address, DOB, and phone number, she suggested I talk to . . . NO, I am not talking to anyone else, I am talking to you. You have all the information you need to stop harrassing me or I will start harrassing you. She asked if I was sure that I was getting calls from their number?
For a fact, I know that BLUES ON CALL was given more than enough information to remove a phone number from their calling list. I do not live at my Dad's former address, but did maintain his phone no.
Maybe they are going to set up a credit card using the information I gave them? I probably made a big mistake, we'll see.
I called 412-553-8949, answering 'YES' to the first question asking if I was a member . . .stayed on the line (not pressing any numbers) until a 'health coach' came on the line. I asked if she could remove my number from their calling list. She said she would be glad to do that and asked for my name and birthdate to access my records. I said, if you have my phone number, why do you need my name and birthdate to remove my phone number? I should not have, but did give her my name and she still could not access my records. She said only '949' would come up, whatever that meant. I thanked her for trying and said I was not going to give her my birthdate.
I find it a bit odd that a phone number could not be removed from their calling list without providing a name and birthdate to access my records? WHAT RECORDS? If you know of a way to get them to stop calling, please share it.
