I'm with you Jeff. I really don't want to talk to a telemarketer. I too signed up for information regarding on line degree programs and have been bombarded with calls from the same number. They have you in a bind because you can't proceed with signing up for information without supplying a phone number.
Call me old fashioned, but I would rather get my info by mail, read and evaluate it and make a decision ON MY OWN. I don't want or need anyone to hype me up about their school. I'm obviously hyped enough to even request information.
I just got a call from 847-783-8945. I called them back and someone answered as AIU online. It is an online university so apparently we've either filled out a contact form for them or they got our number from someone we filled out a contact form with expressing interest in online study. I know I have been looking at online masters degree programs so that is probably where they got the number.
I really wish they'd send info by mail which you can really evaluate like in the old days instead of having telemarketers call to try to convince you to attend their school.
Just got a call on my cell but no message. I dont really agree with them trying to call me. All I really wanted was the free info via mail. That way I can make a choice without somebody hounding me on my phone.
Just got a call on my cell phone while I'm at work. No message was left and I haven't called back yet, BUT I see from other notes here that some have mentioned an AIU number. This makes sense, I recently requested info. from an online University.
