My wife was looking into dish tv yesterday, This number has called her phone every hour. When a guy finally answered (I had the phone by now) I asked why he was harassing us and he just laughed at me. When I asked for asup he hun up, laughing. I called and spoke to a guy at Dish (after talking to way too many people to get to the right person, all refusing to ID themselves). I gave him all of the information, including this site. I will not post his name and number, but if you call the number on their site and ask for corporate they can transfer you to issue your complaint. If/when they call, try to get as much info as you can. This needs to stop. Collecting information is the only way to stop it. Please post all data here.
My facts so far:
1. They are on a dialer (I was told)
2. The male I spoke to was VERY rude.
Please keep in mind that a dialer system calls out on multiple accounts at one time. If someone answers the call before you, it WILL hang up on you, or give you dead air. To gather info, please answer the phone a quickly as possible. They already know who we are, so we need to play nice to find out who they are.
sorry, one other fact. In a call center the reps talk to each other. IF they are in the middle of a conversation, they will keep a phone on mute until they are done talking. Also, if they have a poor system, it may take a minute for the dialer to realize you picked up. Waiting may not bee a bad idea. I for one am planing on doing what ever it takes to stop these people. Any and all help will be appreciated. (In case you are wondering, yes, I do work in a call center myself. If any of my reps pulled anything like this they would loose their jobs.)
same thing here with dishnetwork. Made and inquiry and received a call from 570-615-0241. I wonder how legal it is for them to do that. Are they allowed to save your information? It sounds like they are doing something illegal as you cant get through to the number as it is disconected. I have already heard terrible stories about their service and was going to give them a change, but this makes me think twice.
Same thing happend to me. I inquired about dish network online and within a few hours my phone was ringing off the wall. When ever I would answer noone would speak, I would call the number back and of course the number was not a working one. (never seems to amaze me, that when they want to make a call it is a working number, but when we return the call it is no longer working)Anyways, this went on for about a week, and I finally called corporate office spoke to a very hateful person, who informed me that there was no illegal with what they were doing. I informed them that I work for an attorney and he would be contacting them about this matter, because what they are doing is harrassing people and giving out personal information to other companies. The hateful person told me that my information would be taken off of there list, and I have not heard anything else from them.
I have received two calls from this number in the last 20 minutes. I filled out the info for Dish, but decided to go through my phone company and get it cheaper. Now, this number starts calling me. What can we do to get it stopped and really, most important, what is the point of the call?? Is it just a telemarketer trying to establish new customers? Don't quite understand.
