I've received 6 call from 770-285-2265 this morning...I'd like to be taken off this list...filled out some form for a pel grant in mi yesterday eve and now this all morn
These people have called my private number twice in the last 30 minutes. I picked up on the second call and asked for identification. (The call is from Georgia.) When I told the caller I am not interested in her job services and did not solicit them, and to not call me again, she became pushy and I ended the call.
Interestingly, within minutes I received another call from a different state who said they are an educational company. I spoke with the woman and asked her to *please* take me off their list. She was very nice about it and helpful. I don't know how these people get my phone number. I don't even surf the web much less put private contact information "out there".
In the last month or so I have started getting all kinds of unsolicited calls from people who seem to be thinly disguised information gatherers. Several said they were calling on behalf of health insurers. Beware of telling them *anything* at all. Some are seeking protected health information about you in the guise of getting you to participate in a survey. One such survey can take over 30 minutes to complete and you will be asked to provide *very* personal information. Remember - anything you say can (and probably will) be used against you. Some seem to be particularly interested in mental health issues. Once you provide them with ANY information of ANY kind about yourself, they can sell this information to interested third parties (who do not have your interests at heart, much less any interest in protecting your privacy.)
I now block all unsolicited calls.
