they call me 4-5 times a day!

Can someone shut this company down or something, all these people are doing is harrassing us by making constant calls one after another and its becoming annoying. Reporting this to the Better Business Bureau on Friday. Like 6-8 calls or more a day isn't enough to warn this company or its employees that it's called harrassment.

calls and claims to be a financial onstitution

I received 7 calls this morning while I was sleeping and then I returned the call. After searching for more information by asking questions about his intentions, the man was upset and hung up. I remained calm. On the 8th call I found out that they were wanting to make an offering (grant) only if I would cover shipping an handling. The truth is, they call a lot of people, ask for money to cover the application and processing costs/ shipping and handling, and most likely pay out every so often, if you qualify to their standards. Perhaps like a lottery.

I was interested on the condition that I send a check and that I have time to research their company and who they were. I didn't rule out the possibility of using a card. After those attempts they were upset and frustrated. I didn't want them to be frustrated, I even said that and remained calm. She was upset for me wasting her time. She also took my time.

SHE was preying on MY needs.

Here's our technolgoy at work - nobody can STOP these calls. We can send a person to the moon and yet we can't control our phone traffic. I hope this isn't the gov choice of adding more jobs cruz this is a pain in the butt to those of us that have REAL jobs.

15 calls a day from the same person is just to many!


•If you subscribe to CALLER ID, you should know when a telemarketer is calling you: telemarketers are required to transmit Caller ID information and may not block their numbers.
•Telemarketers must ensure that predictive dialers abandon no more than three percent of all calls placed and answered by a person. A call will be considered "abandoned" if it is not transferred to a live sales agent within two seconds of the recipient's greeting. As a result, you are less likely to run to answer the phone only to find silence or the "click" of the calling party disconnecting the line.

In addition to these changes the rules provide:
•Telephone solicitation calls to your home before 8 am or after 9 pm are prohibited.
•Anyone making a telephone solicitation call to your home must provide his/her name, the name of the entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which you may contact that entity.
•Company-specific do-not-call lists are available to consumers who wish to avoid telemarketing calls only from specific companies. For more information see our Unwanted Telephone Marketing Calls Guide.
