I got a call this morning. My Caller ID shows unknown name & unknown number. After I asked his name and what company is that and phone number the guy tells me his name is Sam Johns and it's Home Improvement Network & the phone number: 914-417-9316. He says he has all the information (my name & address) and I was approved for home improvement and asks what I want to improve. I got a few calls from this guy before within couple of weeks. How do I know? You can tell by his accent he's from India. I told him before and today that I don't look for home improvement and he continues to insist that I'd choose the improvement.Every time he calls I ask him to remove my name from their calling list.
It's annoying. Why don't the companies obey the rule to stop calling when a person asks them?
This guy called and said I was approved for a home improvement. When I said, no thanks and hung up, he called me back and asked why I hung up. I told him to leave me alone and he called back again.
heavy Indian accent. Very rude. Asked if I was the diabetic in the house. I said no diabetic here and he then said were there any diabetics in my family... I asked to be removed from his call list (this was his 2nd call today, the first guy hung up on me when i said I could not understand him) and rudely said it was not a sales call. I hung up. what can we do to stop this? I am listed on every do not call list I can think of, I guess it doesn't apply to foreign country callers?
"Charlie" with a heavy Indian accent, from "Home Improvement Network" called close to 9:00 pm and asked for my husband by name. I asked how he got our number (we are on Do Not Call) and our name and he said a family member recommended that he call. Supposedly they did a survey on home improvements in our area... and "could I help him out" by getting a couple of estimates like for roofing. I said we'd have to call him back and asked for his number because it came up on Caller ID as "Private". Rude and persistent, which I had no patience for at the end of a long day.
I've recieved 4 calls now from this person with a very heavy indian accent. He says his name is Justin and wants to talk to me about home improvement possibilities. The first time i let the phone sit at my desk next to my speaker for over 5 minutes before picking up the phone and he was still on the line and hung up.
I found out they may be getting paid for the time they are on a call.
The second time he called I actually talked to him and he had my name but the wrong address. I told him he had the wrong person and hung up.
I made a connection to the calls to a free gift survey at an event where I provided a very badly written fake address so they wouldn't contact me.
The third time he called I informed him i was not a home owner and to please take me off his list. His reply was "You are lying". I got a little angry at this point and told him I would be calling the BBB if he calls again. He gave me some line about not being a salesman and that I couldn't call him in.
I just received my 4th call from him. I didn't waste time and instead told him right away I don't own a home and this was the last time I was going to ask him to take me off of his call list. He tried to say something about not being a salesman and that I took a survey. I asked again and told him to please not call anymore or he would be facing a lawsuit.
Who do we call or where do we go to file a complaint and get action against these telemarketers?
