HELP! Telemarketer #@!holes!!!?

Question

I can't believe they're still doing this. It should be illegal! We keep getting the same phone calll everyday, telling us the warranty is almost up on our car... yada yada yada. And I have spoken to them SEVERAL TIMES telling them to remove my number from their list. And before I have finished my sentence, they abruptly say, "Yes ma'am we'll remove you from our list." -and they hang up quickly. But they dont remove my number. And I still answer the phone everyday and here that F-ing automated message! Does anyone know how I can get them to stop? How can I block the number if I don't have caller ID on my phone? In my view, this is the BEST way to REPEL potential customers. Do they think annoying folks is a dignified way to get business?

Answer 1

Why don't you say "can you hang on for a second" and then just put the phone down on the counter.  Start up the blender, bang some pots and pans, make all kinds of noise.  Better yet, if you have a small child who can't quite talk yet, put them on the phone.  Do this every time they call.  See if the calls don't stop after a few days!

Answer 2

they  call my house everyday also. The same messages and I too have asked them to not call. And they do. I have caller ID and they use MANY, MANY different numbers. It would be impossible to block all of them. Also its a scam, not an actual offer. I know this because they can not legally sell us a warranty on our vehicle. It has way to many miles. SO they are just trying to get your money or information to steal your money.

Sorry I have no idea how to get  rid of them. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone with these buttwipes!!

Answer 3

If your warranty is almost up on your car...that could be the dealership calling....they would actually not be entitled to follow the do not call list.

I would suggest filing a complaint with the better business bureau.
