I had a missed call today (11/17/2007) and no message. I called 801-484-1107 and I got a recording telling me that they "called me on behalf of one of my favorite charities and to leave your number to be removed from their list."
I live in Washington DC and I've given money to our local public radio station (WETA) and I've also attended shows at the Kennedy Center. I'm assuming they got my number from one of those organizations.
I've gotten several calls from this number on my cell phone. They never leave a message and it hangs up when I answer. I googled the number and it lead me here; I have bought tickets for shows at both Met Opera House and Lincoln Center, so that must be where these noodle-heads got my number from. The [***]!
Received a call from this number a few minutes ago. I didn't answer since I didn't recognize the number. Actually googled the area code while it was ringing, got this site. Weird. I've never bought tickets from "the MET" or anywhere similar. No message left.
I checked their client list and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association is listed and I am a member of that organization, I;ll have to let them know that 8 calls in the last week is excessive.
I answered the Pub Interest call (finally) after it came in once a day, and it was the Defenders of Wildlife. I told them that I donate when I can and that calling me isn't going to make me donate more. I asked them to take me off their list. Now I have to deal with the 8014841107 PIK people, and I have NEVER given to the Met Opera!
