They keep calling after we've asked them to stop and remove our name from all their calling lists. They hang up on us after we've answered. It's been going on for over two years now. YEARS.
My wife is not a native English speaker and when these people have spoken on the phone they are very pushy asking for money.
Most of the time, however, the phone line clicks off, as if to indicate that they are just randomly testing times to see when they might be able to get a woman on the phone. I have noticed that when I answer they usually hang up.
Very annoyed, asked to be put on the do not call list, and just about ready to see what legal options we have as the 4 to 5 calls we get on a daily basis are just about the only real calls we get on the land line.
They called 7 times in the past week at various hours of the day or evening as shown on my caller ID. They leave no message. I am on the Government no call list. How can I get it to stop?
I got a call from the same number and a male answered. Gave me the speil about collecting for "one legged police officers association" or something. I told him that I was an ex-cop and that real departments never call people on the phone asking for money. He said "Sorry" and hung up. No more calls. Don't be fooled by people saying they are asking money for some police or fire department. The agencies just don't do it.
