I already suspected as much, but it was the caller ID, and not a human being which said "Caron Yvonne", so there was no mishearing or misreading on my part. Why, I have no idea.
In any case, after many attempts to get these repeated calls to stop, I forwarded them to a governmental agency in Quebec, and that did the trick. There was only one call attempt after I did that, then they seem to have taken the trouble to remove my number from their system. Probably a combination of governmental clout, and the fact that their command of French was not limited to saying the cat and the pen are on the table. ;)
I have had repeated calls to "the Avon representative who lives at this number." I am not and have never been an Avon representative. I sure as hell never will be, nor will I buy another Avon product as long as I live. I managed to get through to them once and asked them to stop. They did not. I will be reporting them to the no-call list. But I am absolutely sick and tired of having my dinner hour destroyed by this incessant harassment.
HELP!!!
