I am on the National Do Not Call List. They called anyway. After the recorded message about Federal Home Loans, I pressed 1 to speak to a customer service representative. The man's foreign accent was so thick I could not understand him. I told him I am on the National Do Not Call List and want my number removed from his list. He did not even let me finish that statement, but quickly hung up on me. I called the number back and the recorded message said, "The number you have reached has been disconnected". If this isn't shady and questionable, I don't know what is!!!
Northeastern Pa. Aug. 11 call from 717-933-6652. Picked up on third ring. No one on the other end. Called back twice and got beeps and chirps and a message (real or faked) that this number is no longer in service. Suspect that this is a shady... if not illegal ... phone marketing operation trolling for victims.
Limerick, PA August 12, 2011; Received a call but couldn't answer and they did not leave a message. Looked up the number and it is located in Myerstown, PA. Called the number back and the recording said that the number is no longer in service. We are also on the National Do Not Call List, what's up with that?!
This phone number has showed up on my Called ID for about a month now. Luckily, I have Caller ID, and as a rule, I don't answer calls I don't recognize. As always, after my announcement from the answering machine, they disconnect. Anybody who does not leave a message, after repeatedly calling, is in my book suspicious.
