Answered in error-- person indicated "due to your excellent driving record", blah blah blah-- I mentioned that she probably wouldn't have a clue about anyone's driving record, and wasn't interested in any "insurance" scam she was trying to sell. While she repeated the name of the company she was calling from, she must have stuck something in her mouth, as that part was unintelligible.

This was "Steve", with a HEAVY middle-Eastern accent in a VERY busy call center, with "Insure.com", calling randomly in complete violation of the National Do-Not-Call Registry. I expressed interest, then gave him completely bogus info about my car, age, email address and current insurer. He will pass the info on to the actual insurance companies who are employing him to obtain sales leads - they can't call randomly, but they can use "Steve" and plead ignorance about his methods.Steve even requested that when the companies call, that I say that I "filled out an online request form". Now, when the insurance companies call me, I'll waste as much of their time as possible, giving more bogus info and ultimately let them know that they have been PUNKED because they are using a sales aggregator who is operating in violation of U.S. law ("Steve"), and that they need to find out who in their sales department OK'd the use of "Steve" and make sure he and his company are working within the strictures of the NDNCR. If you want to fix it right, sometimes you gotta DIY...
