Anyone else concerned?
« on: November 06, 2007, 12:45:16 am »
Im new here, but I was wondering if anyone else is concerned about giving out thier home address and phone # ? I worry about getting alot of junk mail through my home address and getting unwanted telemarketing phone calls. Has anyone had this problem yet?
If it wasnt for that I would feel so much more comfortable completing all these offers.

To avoid telemarketing calls. Join at PrivatePhone.com - It's a free program that gives you your own private number to supply to these surveys and stuff. Everyone does that to avoid the calls.

as far as junk mail to your house, you won't get any. I never got any and I've been doing this for many months.

Nope, everyone is right about this.........privatephone is a lifesaver---havent gotten a solicitor call that I didnt want yet on my regular phone! As for the physical junk mail delivered to my door, nope, havent had a problem there either.

I went to the privatephone website and it says it is going to be discontinued in December and they don't seem to be accepting any new clients. Any suggestions so I don't have to use my home or cell phone number to complete offers?

I also have a number set up with AIM.  You can get one at www.aim.com, sometimes there is an issue getting a local area code.  Another one I noticed in the forum is  www.laservoicemail.com.  Haven't tried that one yet, but probably will be.   :wave:

do a google on private phones and voice mails. also get a gmail email account so your reg email don't get junked to death. as far as your home addy. nothing can do there. as you have to used your legit info.
also same as the others. i've been on this site and been doing gpt sites for about a year and have only ever gotton one thing in the mail. and can't say it was from any offer i did ether as it was one of those send a buck make millions things that i used to get a ton of years ago. so you should be good to go with the private phone and gmail :)

i am receiving junk in the mail and phone calls as late as 10 p.m. they even call on Sundays, the other day i was so mad. my 6 mo. old had been sick for a week and hadn't slept well in days, then i finally got her to sleep (which means i can sleep too) then a telemarketer called and woke her up, i asked her to remove me from her calling list, she was soooo rude she said i could at least listen to why she called, what i am saying is if you use your real phone it will ring off the hook, and i think they're psychic because they always call at the worst time

Well, first off, it is ILLEGAL in any state for creditors & telemarketers to call after 9pm!
Below is a link for anyone who wants on the DO NOT CALL Registry. You enter your phone # and it puts you in the registry to where Telemarketers CANNOT call you, ANYTIME whatsoever! If they do, they have broken the law and will be penalized & or jail time! Serious stuff as we all are tired of these people invading our homes with their ridiculous and rude calls!

This is why it sickens me that PrivatePhone is terminating its free service! When I go to listen to my messages on PrivatePhone it tells me what time these solicitors call me. I have had some call me at like 5:30am!! And then I have had call after call like every 10 minutes some days!! Imagine if that were my regular home phone! I would have gone mad!
