I have been on the Do Not Call registery (national and state) since they were first started, and renew every five years as required. Got an automated message at 6:42 p.m. on a Sunday evening from "Olen at Great Vacations" saying I had been awarded a free 6-day cruise and leaving the number 888-886-3606 for calling back. Used *69 and got the number 813-889-7003 as the source (*69 will often give you a number even when caller id is screened). Called the toll-free number and got a voicemail message from "Olan Miller at Vacation and Travel Services" stating that he was unavailable at present but to call back at 813-714-4061. Kind of shifty. 813 is an area code for Miami. I live near New Orleans. Googled Olen Miller, Vacation and Travel Services and found this article:
