This annoying automated message keeps calling us about having won a vacation somewhere. Usually I just hang up or press 2 to decline the offer, but it never stops the calls so today I pressed 1 to speak with a representative. I got through to a real live person after pressing 1 a few times and I said asked to please be taken off the list. Then there was silence. They guy hung up on me! Now I don't even know if they took my number off the list. I think they are a scam.
I used to work for market research firm and whenever someone said they wanted to be taken off the list, we were required to say that we would take care of it and thank them for their time.
So annoying! I can't even report them because I don't know who they are. I have my number on the Do Not Call list, which should apply to them because they are selling something, but for some reason these calls still get through.
I wish we could screen our calls. If it were up to me, I'd have all calls routed to the answering machine first before I pick up. My parents wouldn't like that though.
So anyone else super annoyed by these telemarketers? I am used to being on the other end of many of these hang ups and I am still annoyed. LOL
