Got called at 4:20 PM 3/10/2014. I answered the phone and a person was promoting an air duct cleaning service in Maryland. I thanked him for his service but did not want my air duct cleaned and asked him to remove my number from his calling list; he said sure and I hung up.
Caller ID said Duct Cleaning - called back and it was another telemarketer. What kind of legitimate telemarketer has caller ID that says duct cleaning. They give the option of pressing 1 to remote your name. If you press 2 to speak with a live person (which I did when I called back), it said mailbox full. Amazing how the law bends so these kinds of company can "legitimately" worm their way to call you.
Again - they called. You would think they would give up after my ignoring their calls. Tried putting my name on their do not call list. Maybe if I call back 20 or 30 times and keep pressing - add to do not cal l list; they might really do it.

What you did by answering is to confirm that your number has a human attached to it. Now they sell your number to scammers. Never answer an unknown number. Get caller ID and a call blocking device or phone.
This is the same Indian Guy who also calls for:
"You've won 10K." "Your loan has been approved for 10K." "Home Security System." "Credit Card Acceptance."
"Duct Cleaning (Claiming they are from your local city-- with an out of state area code)"
"Oh no, this is the first time I called you." When he already called 8 times already that same day, and won't stop calling.
He called me over 200 times last year alone! I told him he is in violation of FTC Law, I am on the state do-not-call list, on the national do-not-call list, that I've told him to stop calling, and that he is breaking the law.
Now each time he calls I blow a 120 Decibel Whistle in his ear. I suggest each of you do the same thing. He won't take your number off his list, no matter how many times you ask. You can't be nice to this fraudulent person!
This same person fakes their phone number from: Seattle, Oregon, San Francisco, New York, and Miami.
The same person will call up to 15 times a day. You need to call the police on this person!
I am waiting for the invention to come out where you press a button for harassing callers, and you can shock them over the phone.
