This number just called our office, I answered and at first it was dead air, then music started playing and then someone picked up the line, and all of a sudden I could hear a man speaking in the background calling people to a meeting. There was cheering and "team leader" being mentioned as well as "goals" etc.....I am sure this is some kind of marketing bs.
I work from home and just got a call on my business line. I didn't answer; they hung up without leaving a message on my answering machine. I've gotten to where I don't even answer calls when they're not calling from my home state. The sad fact is that business customers with phone companies cannot opt out from receiving telemarketing calls. Why exactly is that? Well, a couple of years ago I called my sorry senators in Georgia, Saxey Chambliss and Johnny Isaakson's office, and they told me that the reason business lines were exempt from being on the Do Not Call List was because the telemarketers might be calling to offer a service or product I might be interested in. Oh, really? I guess I know who's donating tons of money to their campaigns -- businesses and telemarketers. If I don't want the dang calls, I don't want them, plain and simple. Also, I am more than capable of searching and buying products and services without telemarketers pushing their crap. Honestly, who in their right mind would actually agree to buy a product or service from a telemarketer? I don't know of anyone who has, ever. Most people buy in stores or from reputable businesses online. As we've seen over the past couple of weeks, Congress is totally dysfunctional and we need to vote these idiot senators out of office. Oh, and reporting abusers to the FCC is a joke!
I get calls like this every week. I finally started recording the numbers, then going to the Do Not Call Registry and registering a complaint every time they call. One of them actually went into a recorded spiel on the second call and gives me the option to have my number removed (yeah right!) and when you choose that, it is dead air, not even a dial tone. I have reported 2 different numbers, 2 times each, and they both call around 3:30 PM every day (CST). My co-workers number rings first, and mine rings immediately and it is either dead air or this recording. Next time I will pay attention to who the recording says they are. i was too intent on getting the phone number written down this time.
AND, this is also one that says something about correcting your Google Map placement. Bull hockey !!
