It's a solicitation for reduced insurance; based in the Fresno, CA area; if / when you call back, you'll have the option of 1) speaking with an agent 2) being put on their DNC list or 3) getting a call back.

I selected 2 - and asked to speak to a supervisor; the agent will ask about the issue, apologize, tell you that that they get their numbers from a 3rd party marketing firm then quickly hang up.

I call back and spoke with a 'Nicholas'; I asked to know who I was speaking with at the outset. I asked the name of the agency: Insurance Placement Center. 'Nicholas' identified himself as a supervisor, then asked if I was interested in either a quote or to be placed on the DNC list. I asked for the Insurance License #; his response: 'Why? So that you can complain!? No...' and he hung up.

Just as they purport to record the call, so have I; and I will find Nicholas' surname - and move forward accordingly.

They got voice mail, and left no message.

I AM on the Federal DO NOT CALL LIST, yet they persist in breaking the laws.

On the news last week, the FCC has NEW guidlines to further RESTRICT telemarketers, let's see how that goes. Not holding my breath.
