When someone starts out lying about who she is representing I hang up and contact the boys over at the agency. They will be paying them a visit. Tick, tock.
called twice today - first time I let it go to voicemail, but there was no message. I called the # back and got a message saying the company's name was "Datascension" and that they specialize in data collection, not telemarketing, along with instructions to email dnc@datascension .com to have your number removed from the list. I emailed my request at about 1 pm. Now here's my irritation - they just called back, at 9:48 pm! I was trying to settle my kids to sleep, but I answered it to tell them off. No one was there! If you're going to call my home well past a time that would be considered polite you can at least be on the other end when I answer. I don't care what they're calling for, no one should call that late. Very unprofessional and discourteous.
I have received 5 calls from this number today (Sunday). I told them I "DO NOT DO SURVEYS", and they try to argue with me about the meaning of the "no call list". I hung up the first time due to this. About 30 minutes later I get another call. Sounded like the same girl. I told her I DO NOT DO SURVEYS, and she started to argue with me again. I hung up. She called back immediately, and I hung up, then she called back again immediately, and I hung up. She called immediately again and I left the phone laying down as I ranted about there being no law that says I have to do a survey, and I pay my bill, not her, and she doesn't have the right to keep calling me, and she is violating the law by harrassing ME!
I'm busy. Trying to put up corn for winter (blanching, freezing, etc.) and other crops.
I keep getting these calls, no one ever there. I called back yesterday and this time a "leave a message" came on. I told them to stop calling my number, period. I then said if I got one more call from them I would contact Channel 9 Consumer Advocate to complain directly to the reporter. I highly suggest you all do the same at your local TV station. All your major local stations have a consumer advocate and I think it's high time we all fired back at these ...holes. Make them get just as fed up with us as we are with them.
