I'm also on the DNC list and they called me. I did not answer. I work from home (yay!) a couple days a week and get calls forwarded to me from work that can have many different area codes. It's very annoying to get these scam calls because sometimes I think it might be a work call and I answer it.
I blocked my outgoing number and called back, and received a message saying something to the effect of "press 1 to be removed from our preferred marketing list". As I blocked the outgoing number, I wonder what that'll do to their system?
I deliberately picked up the phone (knew the number since they have called before and did not leave a message) just to request removal. However, before I had a chance to say anything, they hung up. Since I do not have long distance on my home phone (where they called), I called back on my cell and reached "if you wish to be removed from our special promotions, press 1". However, since they are not calling my cell, that doesn't help. So instead, I pressed every number but 1 and held it down till the call disconnected automatically, then called it again and did the same thing.
I have reported it to the DONOTCALL registry yet again. Has anyone noticed now that before you fill out the online complaint form it asks if you were called on a phone call or a mobile text message? Apparently, they are now getting cell phone numbers.
I did not answer. We are on a do not call list and don't answer calls we don't recognize. There is a recorder for legitimate callers. How can we block calls from this number without having to pay for the service?
