They caught the machine but thought I had answered and then a lady's voice said, "Hello, Ms. ABCDEFG"? and then realized no one was there and she hung up. They knew my name. These creeps are so rampant and being on the DNC list is next to impossible for the enforcement to keep up with them. So I tell the creeps I have sold the house and am moving away and I don't need anything anymore and don't bother calling again. So far, most have stopped. Sometimes they call and ask for one of the guys that live here and say they are in prison, call there and ask if they want that number. They have even responded that THEY will take the number off their list.
Play the game if you're in the mood. If you've got elderly parents or family, please keep track of who calls them. The creeps are relentless! They prey on them. Get them a phone that will block the telemarketers by pushing a setting from the handset. Call your phone company and ask them what to do to make it stop. Older people like to answer the phone instead of letting it go. Some have even fallen causing broken hips and bones just because these creeps don't stop when told to. Time to stop posting on these sites expecting it all to go away and start fighting back.
Good luck all!
DIDN'T PICK UP THEIR CALL ON NOVEMBER 21 @ 2:59PM; IF THEY'RE IN COLORADO, WTF ARE THEY DOING CALLING CALIFORNIA? THESE IDIOTS ACTUALLY PUT "SOLARCO" IN THE CALLER ID, SO IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO FIND THEM AND SUE THEM FOR VIOLATING THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT AND THE DO-NOT-CALL LIST. IT'S TIME TO HUNT DOWN ALL TELEMARKETERS. THEY'RE PREDATORY ANIMALS WHO CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO SOCIETY AND PREY ON THE WEAK.
I have just found this site so I have not been collecting info on all the calls I've gotten. I am lucky enough to have a phone system that allows me to block up to 30 numbers. This is one of the numbers I've blocked. I am maxed out! I was getting at least one call a day and often 2 or 3. Since blocking these 30 numbers the calls have dropped to almost nothing. It appears that either it is the same jerks or the word gets around that the calls are being blocked. I will pay more attention to the calls from this point forward.
