and no, I don't sell those little boxes. I'm just adding this freaking number in that has called me 4 times in the last two days and never talks to me. I come on here, check out if others are experiencing the same, and then use the block box.
850-688-9899 - Called three times this afternoon/evening, left just dead air messages on the answering machine. Also, I have a call from 239-324-4841, which came in 1 minute after the last call from the 850 number about three minutes ago. Probably from the same company... It is, BTW, election season again.
After calling three times in less than two hours, I finally decided to pick up the phone to see what this was. It's an automated political survey, no live person at the other end. The first few questions of the survey are (paraphrased, might not be the exact wording):
1) If the election were being held today, who would you vote for? 1- Rick Scott, 2-Charlie Christ, 3- Don't know
2) In your opinion, has Florida's economy for you under Governor Scott: 1-improved, 2-gotten worse, 3-stayed the same?
3) Is Governor Scott's role in Florida's recovery: 1-very positive, 2-somewhat positive, 3-somewhat negative, 4-very negative?
At this point, between the types of questions being asked and the fact that the call originated in Tallahassee, I was able to pretty much surmise that the survey was being done for Governor Scott's re-election campaign, and hung up. I probably wasn't going to vote for him anyway, but after bothering me three times while I'm trying to eat supper, I have even less reason to vote for him.
Picked up the phone when a call came from this number just to see if anyone was there. A recorded message stated my name and then said "Josh" was calling wanting me to answer some questions about "issues facing Florida." I am sure this is a BS survey that is actually meant to find live numbers and real people to sell to telemarketers, or something similar. I kept the phone off the hook until they hung up.
