Unsolicited Calls from 213-228-8111

I got the first call on my cell phone from this number this morning at about 8:50 - I answered with my standard greeting and the caller promptly hung up. By the time I got to work at 9:15, I had three missed calls from this number. I checked the Internet to see who was calling me and found a zillion complaints against the company making the calls. Thankfully, at about 9:40, they called back. This time, the woman identified herself as working with that same government grant company about which everyone else has complained. I informed her that I had looked up her company and was not interested in their services. I told her to remove my number from the calling list because it's a cell phone and she was in violation of the "Do Not Call" policy, and that her failure to comply would result in me filing a complaint with the FCC. She didn't respond, but I heard call center noises in the background, so I know she was still on the line. I said "Hello? Ma'am?" and after about 30 seconds of silence, I hung up. I haven't had another call yet but it's only a little after 10 now. The next time I see 213-228-8111 on my caller ID, my next move will be to make a visit to the FCC website. I recommend you treat these individuals with a small amount of civility but firmly assert your right to avoid harassing phone calls. They're just doing their job - even if it's annoying.
