hmm. I am on the DNC registry, and i have never had a relationship of any sort with Direct TV. Add to this the fact that the caller id says "Phoenix, AZ" and Direct TV is headquartered out of California. Given these facts, it seems unlikely to be Direct TV calling me from this number.
So, did the previous posters confuse Direct TV with Dish Network? Well, I do use Dish Network, so that is somewhat plausible, although they are based in Littleton, Co. not Az. so I'm not laying any big money on this possibility.
My best guess is that these pests are some sort of call center, possibly calling for different clients. Then again, maybe I am wrong, and Direct TV has just ignored my DNC registration.
Overall, my bet would be that this is not Direct TV per se, but that they may make calls for them is a possibility. I've tried to call the number but can't get through.
Hopefully someone else out there can solve this in a definitive manner!
C'mon Nick. They all suck, and they all treat their customers like crap. It's just too bad that their mums didn't let them play with plastic dry cleaning bags when they were little tykes. Bloody do-gooder warning labels spoiled everything!
