Your question has been answered hundreds of times on this discussion board. Instead of going through the process of retyping again and again, please go to the DNC/FTC site and read.. Okay, one more time:
If you tell him to stop calling, he must comply. Since you do not have working relationship with his company, he can begin calling again in 90 days, unless you send him a certified Cease and desist.
It is legal for him to call because he is considered a contractor who must estimate his costs. As long as the intended and ultimate purpose of his call is solely to arrange a face to face meeting between you and a representative of that company, for the purpose of information and estimating cost, and that no attempt is made to sell and close the deal over the phone is made.....it's legal. Remember, once you accept his invitation to send a representative for an estimate, you have then established a business relationship and he can start trying to sell you the moon and stars above until you advise him to cease... Why do I have "Do Not Call"? Well, there are over 500million phones in the usa. There are over 1 billion 500 million calls received each day. Think of all of the legitimate and legally Registered with the FTC Telemarketers that could be calling you, but who do NOT, because you are on the DNC list of which they do honor. Sometimes we focus on that one caller that we don't want calling so much that we forget about those many callers who could legally call us if not for honoring the DNC list.....therefore the DNC gets the blame.
Scammers honor no list, and of course those exempt have their little perks (which I don't agree with either)
Just telling it like it is........so don't shoot the messenger...
I used to work for this company and I decided I could not work for the Pagano family because I discovered that the entire company is a scam! Every three months they told us to say a different company name to people we "cold called" using an automatic dialing system that was loaded with phone numbers the the owner bought from other companies. The phone numbers are compiled from people that are of the "baby boomer" generation and credit score of 680plus (this guarantees they can be financed). The call center is located at 3850 SE Beisser Dr. Grimes, IA 50111 and it is called Aqua Care USA but they require their employees to say the company is located in Temecula, CA. Also we were required to say that we are the company you see on television that makes the walk-in tubs and showers (this is a complete lie. This company does not have any commercials on telvevision and is using trying to use another company's investment to make money). Once you agree to an estimate, the company then sends out a sales representative to "YOUR AREA" to try and hard sell you a tub or shower. (Don't fall for the part where they say "we are going to have a representative in you area tomorrow giving your neighbors free estimates".) If you get a call from this company, ask them for a number that you can call them back on and see what answer you get. When they tell you that they are from an outbound call center and there is no way to call them back then hang up and call 877 497 7777 because that is the number where the company can be reached at in Grimes, IA. Take my advice and don't be scammed by this company!
I purchased one of these products and am very happy with Aqua cares service I had 3 estimates done and they were the cheapest and the only one that had a lifetime gaurentee. I looked them up. On the BBB and any issues they have had with customers they have resolved. Most people just don't plan for the future and if you fall and hurt yourself you will wish you had one of these products. The contractor was a retired Dr. and came to my house and spent a couple hours going over the process with me even showed me a DVD. When was the last time an actual Dr. made a house call to you for free of charge to offer his service to help maintain your health. I don't understand why when someone offers to show you anything that could benefit your life for free you would be mad. If you don't like what you see or hear the then just don't buy it.
