Received a robo call about how my electricity rates are going up and to press 5 to talk to an agent about reducing the rates. I pressed 5 a man answered "Hello" I ask who he was and to take my name off his call list and if he called me again I would turn him in. What jerks.
Called our DNC registered landline on
09/02/2014 @ 02:59 PM from Waterloo, MD. Caller ID shows Member Rewards. We don't answer callers we don't know. No message was left.
We set voicemail to pick up on 5 rings. Since robo-callers disconnect in 4 or fewer rings there's no wasted time with telemarketer voicemail. Also, our number is not verified as voicemail didn't pick up while line was open.
I blocked this number on my new phone system. If they call again it will register on Caller ID, but the phone won't ring any more. The down side is it validates mu number, that's a compromise I'm will to try.
Number called me, something about topical pain management. A member of my family has a current Rx and so I thought it might be legit. Told him he was selling something, and the call was BS. He told me to [***] off and he was tired of being treated like that by people like me I hung up mid-sentence.

This number just called here a few minutes ago. The name on CID was "Member Rewards". I never answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, and judging by the responses above I was right not to answer.
I did try calling the number back just to see if they answered with a company name, but all I got was a recording that kept stating over-and-over if I'd like to be placed on a do not call list with the number that just called me, press "1" now. It never went to anything else other than this recording about the DNC list. The number is now blocked by my Sentry call blocker.
