called me three times in a row and did not leave a message. I did request a call back from some one through HomeAdvisor. Looks like HomeAdvisor handed my phone number out to their vendors. Last time I use them for anything.
see my update. they are a well known and respected business, I wish I could have afforded their services and that I didn't live in a condo-- the work they recommended I need to do involved common area which I legally cannot permit. Hence, I'm stuck with a leaking basement which is ruining my foundation.
The are a registered company with the BBB and Chamber of Commerce. I've met with them and they are professional and legit. You obviously gave them or an associated business (such as Angie's List or Groupon or Living Social or one of the myriad of on-line deal sites) your phone number at some time or other. Hence, the DNC list will be ineffective. It's ineffective anyway, it's useless. I wonder if The DNC sells our information. They allow charitable-donation callers (who knows who *they* may sell your number to) and to any company in which you've shared information -- if the vendor can prove that you have , they will be considered leigit and won't be listed on the DNC list.
May I suggest a really creative way to stop the calls ? Call and tell them you're not interested and ask them to remove you from their call list. Presto chango done. I've done this with other legit companies and they actually do remove you.
The fact remains that if people are on the DNC list and have not given out their number to these people, then the caller IS in violation of the DNC. People should NOT have to call them to be taken off a list they shouldn't have been on in the first place.
