Repeated daily calls
Complaint
Josephine Magill
Country: United States
I received daily calls since we got our new phone number ( 1 year) from various phone numbers claiming to be the remodeling center or home center and trying to book an appointment and gather info about me and my home. Sometimes we receive 3-4 calls a day. Nobody cares we are on the no call list. One guy told me it was the FTC's fault and he had to call me. Today it was from a cell phone (909) 231-5204, said his name was Jerome, when we called the number back it said number belonged to Michael Anderson Internal Revenue Service.

How can I make them stop ?
Contractors claiming to be part of 'The Home Remodeling Center' have called various times. Usually, they just give their first name, saying that their company had called me a few months back. I will ask them what is the name of their company, and then they will say 'The Home Remodeling Center'. On this last call, I asked about a website for their company, explaining that I cannot find them on the internet. She said that I should check 'Home Advisor', and told that I can call them back. I did not find a listing for them on that site.
There is a Home Remodeling Center in San Marcos CA, but that is 400 miles north of my Anaheim CA home.
I did find this - https://porch.com/tarzana-ca/general-contractors/home-remodeling-center/pp . Location given is Tarzana CA, which is part of the City of Los Angeles, and in my metro area.
I have received calls from the remodeling center for over two years, despite doing all the things everyone above has, the calls still came.
FINALLY in June, I began to schedule an estimate every time they called. When the contractor would arrive for the estimate, I would stand in the doorway and tell them that I have wasted their time, just as they have wasted mine on the phone, and to get off my property and leave, then i close the door, leaving them standing in bewilderment..... After about four of these encounters, word must have gotten back to the call center, because I don't get any calls from them anymore...
