I got this call today as well on my home & cell numbers. Said they were from eFinancial following up on an insurance query online. I asked them to remove both my numbers from their calling list & they did not give me any trouble with that request. Hope it helps.
this number called for my wife. i told the woman on the other end that she was not home, and to call back in about an hour. she responded with "this is e-financial calling about her life insurance".
i know my wife does not have any life insurance through this company.
EFinancial (www.efinancial.com) is a life insurance brokerage. Someone goes online and submits a request for a life insurance application, leaves multiple phone#s then an agent will call. Its very simple, if someone leaves a phone# that is ONE digit wrong then the computer dialer will keep calling it UNTIL someone says its a wrong #. If no one ever picks up the phone when efinancial calls, then how are you supposed to know who it is and have it stop? Call the number back! Its that simple!
Call Jason Cozzetti (google the name to find why) at their home office- 425.216.1240 extention 111.
He writes in an online blog, "Rest assured that when calling on leads you have received from us that they come from 100% permission based advertising campaigns with well known and respected sites such as MSN, Yahoo, & Google. Our leads have requested to be contacted via telephone by an agent so they can obtain a more accurate and personalized Life Insurance quote. In order for them to become a Lead in our system they must enter in their personal medical history, the type of plan they are shopping for, and their complete contact information including the best time to be contacted. When you talk to other resources about their lead programs you may want to ask them how they are generating their leads and if they are permission based campaigns. Again I can’t stress this enough. Just numbers from a spam list that you bought from “Sally the Spammer” or cold calling out of the phone book can now get you a $10,000 fine."
