Just got a call stating "Due to a technical problem on our side we are unable to speak with you directly" They then just disconnect. I called the number and got only a message. They say they are exempt from the do not call list. They are selling tickets for a charity. Same as others on this thread.
May 10 - they've been calling every afternoon/evening for a couple of weeks, usually no message or a recording about being sorry for the incovenience, tonight I picked up and said "now I'm starting to get pissed off, take me off this list" a guy laughted an hung up. I feel irritatted.
We received several calls in the last couple of days. When I pick up the call, I get nothing but dead air. There are no messages left on the answering machine. This is incredibly annoying. I feel that anyone who is exempt from the 'Do not call list' should be required to leave a message, as well as only be allowed to call once.
