Alyeska Resort telemarketers are calling again. I first ran into them with a series of three calls in one night after I told them that I was not interested in their promotion for River Point Resort in Napa. There is a RiverPointe Napa Valley who offers tours and contests. You can Google that firm and see if it matches what you've been offered by Alyeska Resort promotions to "visit the resort for a short presentation." Usually the pitch it to attend then sign up for a time share condo. Said timeshares are only within the United States. When I last spoke with River Point Resort to complain of their telemarketing attempts, the person who took my call indicated that I was not the first to complain, and that they've had a lot of complaints regarding Alyeska Resort. Yes, I also noted that they sounded as though accented and hard of understanding English. Totally unprofessional, with a lot of laughter and a boom box playing in the background. When they don't get what they want, they turn nasty and try to act aggresive over the phone. They obviously enjoy upstetting any potential customers. When I offered to take them up on their promotion, to sign up for a prestentation at the resort, they could not figure out how to sign me up. I had planned on attending just to bust in on the crowd of potential customers at the same presentation - you know - crash their party so to speak. My next step will be to notify the Napa Chamber of Commerce and the local Better Business folks that this resort seems to use telemarketers who refuse to honor the National Do Not Call List, as well as direct requests by me both to Alyeska Resort Telemarketers AND to River Point Resort, that they NEVER call my number again. I have just received such a call again tonight. I will be talking to the Sales and Marketing departments for River Point Resort in the morning, since their offices do not seem to be open at 8:30pm when I was called. I hope that my efforts bust this group hard. Good luck with your reporting as well. If anyone can come up with a Board of Directors and Officers for this telemarketing outfit, please post here so that we can call those people in their homes during dinner or prime time TV. I've done so before, and boy were they p**sd. Oh well. Karma.
Rec'd a call during the dinner hour, of course, didn't answer, but when I called back, first there was no answer. Then when I tried to call again, suddenly the number isn't "accepting incoming calls"...
Received a call from this number at 7:15pm on 2/17/08. When I answered it there was no response on the other end. I hung up. I googled the number and found this web page.
i actually answered when i saw that "alaska" was calling. they kept asking for Aleshia. Telling me they were from the better buisness bureau. That the call was getting recorded and if i gave false information I could get sued. Febrary 19, 2008 - 9:23 PM
I've received several of these calls to my work #, and they never leave a message, but the voice mail always records a ton of background noise and it's obvious their calling others at the same time. No idea what it is, and when I tried to call it back, I got a recording stating that the number isn't available at this time. Would love to 86 this annoyance.
