these morons start calling me at 7:30 am, over and over again, all day long) claiming I have done a search on the internet looking for online courses for a business degree in accounting. One person id'ed herself as 'Kim' and said she was calling from the 'college-bound help center'. I have NEVER searched online courses; the most disturbing thing for me is that they know my name and obviously my tel.#.
Don't know who they are but they called and woke me up at 8am this morning and said that I had looked at some website of theirs about college courses, which I have NEVER done. I don't remember where or who she said she was calling from since I was half-asleep. Anyway, I told them I was job searching and I already had my degree, so the woman said she would remove me from the list and then I hung up.
they called asking for my daughter, who has not lived here in over a year. i told her my daughter was unavailable, then she asked when would be a good time to call. I told her my number is on the DO NOT CALL registry so unless my daughter has specifrically asked them to call to provide information, they shouldn't be calling me. The woman claimed my daughter DID contact them requesting information. So I said, "Well, if she contacted you, then surely she must have given you her cell phone # to call her back". At that point she just said thanks & have a nice day as she hung up. This is a crock.
If they call, just do what they say the first time and they'll stop calling. If you don't want them to call, don't put your real information on the internet for everyone to see. It's not a very difficult concept to understand. Besides, if you stay on the line long enough, you get a free debit mastercard.
