Regardless of whether they are trying to sell something, they must add you to their internal DNC list. You are also right in your assesment, they are selling something by sending people out to give you an estimate and a sales pitch.
Caller ID shows Coward S. Call back # goes straight to VM. I've received 3 since yesterday. Finally connected with 1 of the calls, and the guy said he was with McBride Roofing and gave me the phone # of 623-516-2400 and had inspectors in the area to assess any damages from the recent storms. Told them I'm on the Nat. DNC list and said that he'll remove my # but I said he needed to give me more information per the TCPA act and he said he's not selling anything so doesn't have to comply. Sorry charlie, but you are a roofing company that is sending assessors out to do what exactly? Sell me a new roof. So I called 623-516-2400 and tried the operator, but the person that answered says he was with an answering service company, and since I didn't have a name at the time to give him to dial, wanted to know why I was calling. I told him I wanted to speak to the owner of the company. He said he didn't know who that was but if I told him why I was calling, they could connect me to the right person. So I looked up the company http://www.mcbrideservices.com and found out the president to be Steve McBride Sr. I called back and left a msg for Sr to call me about the practices of the company and the violation of the DNC and TCPA acts. Hopefully he calls back, but they are in violation and I will sue them.
