Thankfully this call did not come in the middle of the night, but it did interrupt me while I was under an editorial deadline. So, I pressed "1" and insisted to be taken off their calling list and put on their do not call list. The person who answered asked if I was on the federal DNC list, which of course I am. He then started laughing at me. When I said I am a professional writer who cannot afford to be interrupted, he said, "You're a professional writer?!? Really? Then I'm a professional rule breaker!" At that, I unleashed some unprintables and hung up...I will report it to the FCC as John (above) did: thanks for sharing that!
3:10 p.m. 4th of July
Tried to block this call, but number transposes to 732-847-0000 instead of 847-000-0007. Number comes up "Name Unavailable." I am on Federal Do Not Call, will report to FCC.
