Called but didn't leave a message. Have blocked them.
i blocked the call
I registered on the do not call list.
Selling newspapers
These people started calling me three days ago. I did not answer the call the first time they called, because I don't answer calls I don't recognize. I looked up the number when I arrived home and saw that it is USA Today's subscription department. They called again that evening and I answered, but to nothing but twenty seconds of silence on their end and then they hung up. I called them back the next morning to request to have my number removed from their calling list. They called again a couple of hours later, and asked for a man. I told them that I am not that person, and that I had already requested that my number be placed on their do not call list. The man apologized and said it would take five days for the request to take effect. They called me again that day and I ignored it. Today, they called again at noon and left a two minute message of recorded music, with a person coming on at the end asking for the wrong person again. It's bad enough that they disobey the do not call list. It's bad enough that they continue to call when I already told them that I am not the person who they want to con into buying another subscription. But, it's just ridiculous to punish someone for requesting to be removed from their calling list by chewing up their cell phone minutes leaving two minute messages filled with recorded music. I will NEVER EVER buy another copy of USA Today, and I will certainly NEVER subscribe to USA Today after this nonsense.
