They called and I DNA. They called my spoof number, which means that they poached the number from something that I filled in on the web. I went ahead and called them back. I'll give them credit as far as they did pick up when I called. Turns out they were marketing a pain relief cream that was "tailored", to my circumstances. He said that if they had called, that I must have indicated some place on the web about pain. I may have IDR. He Did put forth a pretty hard sell. I advised him that I already had a unique preparation that I got from my Dr.. He kept up the push wanting to know insurance details that I was using. All I said was the name of the company. He wanted me to get their cream on top of the kind I already had. I don't blame him. He has a hard job, I don't think he lied in anything he said. He was, of course, disappointed that he didn't get a sale, but he was 'all about', being polite, and making a sale.
I too keep receiving calls from the pain relief company Clawdan refers to above. I remember filling out some form at a website part way for pain cream, but I ended up not filling it out all the way when I couldn't find the actual money I'd have to pay in the fine print. I know a lot of companies claim you can get a product for a free trial, just pay shipping. Then, when you read the fine print, they start charging your credit card after the free trial period is over, usually after a month, and the charges are usually outlandish considering the product they are selling. Just wanted to add to Clawdan's warning about the pain relief company. While I haven't picked up for them on my phone (since I always screen my calls and don't pick up for numbers I don't recognize), I did look up the phone number, and thanks to Clawdan's report, I know it is a pain relief company. They do bug the heck out of me with calls almost every day, and they never leave a message on voice mail saying who they are. I figure if they can't even leave a voice mail that they are not worth calling back. I do agree with Clawdan that being a telemarketer is a hard job, but I am not interested in constantly being bugged by telemarketers either. They are way too pushy, and I don't like feeling like I am being practically forced into buying a product.
