For the last 3 weeks.........
Everyday, i've been getting a phone call ------ a recording ----
About mortgaging my home (which I have none).......
I usually just hang up on the recording....
Today, I sat through it to the end.......
After 6 1/2 minutes......
The call directed me to an automated answering machine...
In other words,
There was no real person for me to yell at and to tell STOP CALLING ME...
Just wondering....
Is this legal--- on their part ?
.................................................. .......................
Yes, it is legal. Go to donotcall.gov and sign the do not call registry. It takes about 2 weeks before it works but it does take care of 90% of the telemarketing calls. Worked like a charm for me.
That sucks......
It's basically like having to get on a list to not be molested -- if you choose not to be.
Why does THE GOV let this happen to begin with ?

I don't understand it either MIke. A while back a lot of the laws changed regarding this and collection practices. Even the do not call lists have exceptions and collections calls can even be made 7 days a week during certain time periods. You'd think Sunday would be relief from any of these calls but it's not.

You could drop your land line and just have a Cel. Telemarketers cant call you on it
Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
mitch i thought they just said it was ok for them to call a cell phone
Mike,
A guy I worked with told me if you instruct them to "take me off your list and don not call me again," they have to remove you from their list. Use that exact first 1/2 the phrase because if they hang up on you they won't hear it. Why not leave a mesage with those instructions? See if it works?
