"Me" posted on Sept 2007 research companies are exempt from the do not call list.
That's NOT true. Those companies will tell you the same thing, too. Look CLOSELY at the FTC code, and it does NOT say "research" companies are exempt. If you want to get specific - they'r soliciting for information. But in fact... government surveys and non-profit research are the ONLY exempt! I went head to head with a research CEO, and finally conceded I was correct.
Called and told I would be able to lower my interest rates on credit cards.When I asked which cards they said all of them.I asked how they made their money and they said the banks paid them.I told them to call back when my husband would be home.
Wow, wounder if they are related to .....ACORN....
No message, many calls, I won't answer. Also, call after nine at night. Either way, not a company one would want to do any kind of business with.
