Unbelievable. This number calls five or six times a week. I have entered our information into their "do no call" system. I have called the number back and done so again. This time I decided to wait on the line for someone.
Once, the first time I tried to speak with someone after waiting on hold, the person I got just hung up on me the minute I said, "Put me on your--". This time, I just flat out asked to speak to a supervisor.
The guy gets on the line. I told him that all of this continual calling constituted as harassment. I told him to put us on the do not call list. He started to tell me that they have so many different numbers that there was just no way for them to make sure all the different offices had the same information. Um, share a database much? Then he went on to say that that was the first time they'd called me. UNREAL. It's not. It's very clear here on our display. So then he asks me what the number is-- I tell him 503-902-8482. He says... -gaspshockhorror- "That's not our number." I said, "So you're telling me that your standing in that location and the number you're calling me from is not your number." "That's what I'm telling you," he says. I was gobsmacked. I said, "That doesn't make any logical sense. The number you're calling me from shows up right here." And then, kicker of all kickers, he says, "I said exactly what I'm saying. I didn't stutter."
My jaw was on the floor. I couldn't believe the audacity. I said, "You're some piece of work, [***]." And I meant it, too. In response he said, "I'm too much of a Christian to say the word, but you're a C, honey. You can go ahead and fill in the last three letters."
I'm pretty sure that's the crusade Christ would have set upon. To upend the horrible C___ who had the GALL to ask that her phone be put on a do not call list.
This place? It should be shut down.

enter the offending #'s, it only works for those "offending calls" from within your service area, so
our only recourse is to get rid of our land-lines or our cellphones - it can't be done!!
REPORT TO THE F.C.C.
make your government do it's job ,people.
If everyone on all these [***] list would focus on the F.C.C.
they would absolve the problem in weeks.
The message is simple. The recording tells them that I do not answer calls from numbers that I do not recognize and that I am on the national do not call registry. Next the recording tells them that if they are soliciting for anything that they should just hang up and forget it!
It's a bit long, but all of these phone thugs hang up without leaving any message at all. They may call back a few times but they will usually loose interest after 5 or 10 attempts.
I know that sometimes my machine is actually talking to their machine, but at least my machine gets to talk to something with a brain instead of the jerks that tell their machine to call me.
I do not bother to answer any calls when I do not recognize the phone number anymore. I get random calls and texts on my cell phone as well although not from this # but never respond or answer any of the calls or texts. I am too on the national do not call list for both home and cell. The calls have subsided somewhat on my cell but still getting plenty of annoying calls from random #'s like this on the home phone. The co mentioned if you look it up is a co offering I think home and cell services. I did not go to their web-site but it does show up if you all look up Pacifictel.
This don't work though if they are long distant as it would cost too much. Then I thought about rounding up all my junk mail, getting their address and sending it to them. That works good if they are paying the postge on one of their envelopes.
Now I am looking for a toll free number for Debt Recovery Solutions. But since they only called my cell phone don't want to launch calls to them on my landline giving them that phone number, or they might start calling it.
So how do they get the number and how do you stop these ignorant people
Make it cost them.
With sociopaths, it's the only way they learn.
security system. They lead you to believe it is ADT. The call begins with a message
about how many home break-ins there are every so many seconds. They are trying
to get us to spring for a "free" home security system. All we have to do is let them
put the sign in the front yard. This has been going on since we moved here March 26.
I've tried hitting the option that says "take this number off your list". It doesn't work.
I've tried staying on the line to talk personally to a representative and tell them we
already have an ADT system. (Another warning: do not do business with this
company. They are total screwballs. The right hand definitely does not know what
the left is doing, and the different departments do not communicate. They are
especially bad about making appointments and then not showing up.)
