Oh NO! Phone CALLS!
« on: September 28, 2009, 07:10:31 pm »
I'm fairly new here, and I would like to know if any of you get phone calls from any of the sponsors???? I can deal with the e-mails and even if they send me mail as I can do with that as I please, but I really, really hate the phone calls!!!! I don't think I want to do this if I'm going to get called all the time now... Is this what's going to happen? Any way I can reverse it? HEEEELP!  :BangHead:

I have not gotten phone calls from the offerers, however some of the offers require you to click one or two silver/gold or platinum offers to complete the offer and if you click an insurance quote or something similar, they will call. What I do is have them call the home phone that is routed through the computer and acts as an answering machine so I never have to be bothered

I have not been called by anyone.  I do not think this information is shared unless you chose to share it.
On the "Account Page" - underneath who you were referred by it should say something like this :
Click here if you want to give this person your email address, so they can contact you.    :thumbsup:

As for the offers, I am not too sure.  I know that some may call, and that is a concern for me also.  My husband and I own a Landscaping
business that I need to answer all the time.  I do not want to be bothered with nonsense calls all the time.  So I am curious to see the
answers from the rest of the group!!

ever since i started back up on this site and input my info that they ask when doing an offer for credit (name, address, phone number) I constantly get phone calls from these offers selling our numbers to places.

The reason I asked is because I only started two days ago, and have already started getting those annoying phone calls, which makes me think twice about this... Some would say it is a small price to pay, but I'm not so sure is worth my 15 cents and so forth... I have my phone registered with the donotcall.org registry, but I guess that it doesn't quite work perfectly. Maybe others have had better luck than I am already having...  :dontknow:

I only WISH I got more calls, these telemarketers are prime referral prospects. They all have dead end jobs working for minimum wage and live in the USA, what more could you ask for? If getting called bugs you, get a Magic Jack just for Internet use and turn the ringer off so everything goes to voice mail.

hahah! only oldbuddy would think about recruiting
telemarketers  ;D  good thinking.


i only have a cell phone, so any number that's not
blocked is stored in my "recent calls" ... and if its a
recording or telemarketer or something annoying,
i save them in my address book as CRAP.

so, when crap calls at 8 in the morning, i know good
and well to hit the ignore button.
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

LOL. Brilliant thinking!

I shy away from giving out my phone number, too... E-mails I can delete, mail I can trash, but don't call and harass me.

I have only gotten calls from doing the auto insurance offer. I think there was another one that I just needed to verify the number and that was it. I don't even get that much real mail. E-mails is a different story.

 :wave: I don't think I got any phone calls but I'm at work all day and if my caller id says unknown or something like that, I don't answer.

If you guys all had even a clue how easy the conversion is, you would ALL be begging for more calls. All I do is wait for a break in the conversation and ask them point blank, "Are they really paying you enough to say all that?". If you want a raise without even having to ask your boss, go look at @@@@@.com (can't give out links here). If you need help setting up a website, contact me somehow. I am not hard to find and it can be done first class for $1 a month with no ads or free hosting to deal with. Or you can just sit there and watch the numbers on my banner keep spinning.
