Said I inquired about a back brace! No I did not. I pressed 1 and got a person and said that "first of all...." He hung up on me. When I called back the recording said to press one to be removed from the call list. I am on the NO Call Registry. So now I am reporting them as a scam to the FCC and blocked the number. What rock do these people crawl out from under?????
Back brace scam call for the umpteenth time.... No amount of complaining or report to DoNotCall makes any difference... It continues unabated. DoNotCall.gov does not work!!!
Fact: The Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!
The DNC list is a LIST, subscribed to / purchased by legitimate telemarketers, so they know who not to call. The FCC does not give away the list!
Fact: Telephone numbers on the Registry don’t expire. You do NOT have to re-register annually.
Fact: Scammers and spammers ignore the DNC list .
Many use "war dialers" to quickly dial phone numbers. After all, phone numbers are just numbers, and are no secret! (Arabic numbers were invented about 500 AD, so even stupid scammers know about them by now).
Fact: The DNC list does not apply to NON-sales calls , such as political calls, charities, surveys, debt collectors and businesses with which you have done business with during the previous 18 months.
Fact: Spam callers can be blocked by getting a real call blocker .
Google (or your favorite search engine) is your friend.
