damn phone scams!!!

I keep a pre payed cell because its easier for me than a monthly plan and I never really use the phone unless I have to. I've never been a big phone person. Well I keep getting theses phone scams under different numbers for this lousy auto warranty. This of course cost me $$ in mins. Several times I pressed the button to take me the list, but they still keep calling. So I waited on the phone until I got someone and asked nicely to be taken off the list. Which the guy just hangs up on me! Its costing me mins and its not like I can save the number to my phone and just not answer. They keep calling me under different numbers. So I figured I will share with you the numbers I have. Warning to all the girls if you get theses numbers don't answer.

If you try calling theses numbers they won't go through. But I figure I would give you all the heads up!

They call me on my cell at least once a week! And my husband, too! I seriously wish I could get them to STOP!!

That stinks for you with your phone, though! UGH! I would be PIZZZZED!

If you let the call go to VM, does it still use minutes? My DH just got a tracfone for business purposes - not 100% sure how it works though.

If so -- if you leave it OFF unless you need to use it, does that use minutes if they leave a message?

I don't ever answer a number I do not recognize for this reason!

me too. I never answer the phone unless I recognize who's calling. If they're somebody important, then they'll leave a message. As simple as that.

I think it's so stupid that these idiots have our cell numbers now. I used to get those warranty calls on my old phone. I haven't on my new one yet.

I remember getting an e-mail a couple months ago saying that our numbers were going to start being sold to these kinds of businesses. And then it gave a number to call in order to be taken OFF the list. But I didn't trust it. I kind of wondered if it was a trick and calling that number actually DOES put you on the list. lol. But now I'm thinking that if I DO start to get sales calls, it probably wouldn't hurt to call this other one. I'll have to find it. I think I saved the e-mail just in case.

Seems like every one goes through the same thing...

SCAM

I would place your cell number on the do not call registry list - hopefully they won't call you anymore!

You need to register your number on the do not call registry...I was getting the same thing on my home # it was driving me crazy..and DH on his cell. I registered our numbers..and no more calls.

Do not call registry
