I have had several phone calls from this company (later identified as RPE) for the past few months. Here are the two most recent calls:
4/22 at 5:50pm from 425-354-1563, caller ID - "Washington Call"
4/19 at 2:00pm from 425-354-1563, caller ID - "RP"
They will not leave a message if an answering machine picks up. If a person answers you receive a pre-recorded message saying they are looking for (insert name) and to press 1 if you are this person, or press 2 if its not you. They also leave a phone number - 888-745-9332 and a 7-digit reference number for you to provide when returning the call.
They call asking for someone who has my last name and first initial but is not me, isn't a relative, isn't anyone I've ever heard of. I'm guessing they got my number because it is listed under my last name and first initial only and figured they'd give it a try to see if it was the person they are looking for.
The first time I dealt with this I called and, unlike some of the other posts on here, got to speak with someone straight away. Explained that they had the wrong person and asked them to stop calling. The guy I spoke to was courteous and said he'd remove my number within 24 hours.
The calls started again though, for yet another name. I just got off the phone with a female rep and explained the story, wrong person, stop calling, etc. She asked for my number and said she'd take it out of the system. I told her I'd already gone through this the last time I called and that I was on the do-not-call list so do not call me. At this point the call took a turn for the worse when she said "are you done?" I said "excuse me?" and she said "are you done complaining?" I replied "yes for now but you'll hear back if you don't stop calling me." She said "24 hours and your number will be removed" and hung up.
I have since filed a complaint online with the do not call registry and, in retrospect, wish I would have asked to speak to a supervisor about the rude treatment I was given. Judging from some other people's experiences that may have only made things worse. We'll see how long it takes before I get another call from RPM.
Every day I get a call from this number. They say this is an important call for....my name...then put me on hold. I hang up. If they can't talk to me when they call I don't have time to hold to see what they want.
