Irritating Phone Calls

[kingreyam24]

So I put our home phone number on the Do Not Call List 5 years ago and I still am getting ridiculous calls. Today I got an automated call about lowering my debt. I got transferred to a human being and I asked him to please remove me from their calling list.......and he hung up on me. I called the number back and it didn't work. These people are really killing me. I will block the numbers and then they'll call from different numbers. Just so frustrating.....especially with a baby trying to sleep in the house.

No home phone here, just my cell. I just got a new cell and I get calls from the previous owner, so I changed the number and its been peaceful since.

My mom got a call today about a "claim that had been filed" against her.  She asked the caller who they were trying to reach, and they gave her a name (not hers).  She told them that was not her, she did not that person, and the caller hung up on her.  No apology or anything.  So rude.

i disconnected my home phone because of these annoying calls and some how they call my cell phone. I got a call the other day that i was being sued for not paying a $200 loan i from some online company that i've never heard of. When i called back the number it went to someone's home and their kid picked up the phone.

I had a house phone for years and when the phone just keep ringing I unplugged and when I needed it I would plug it in and use it and than unplugg it again.  Now I don't have it even hooked up because I moved and didn't see the point.  I also signed up for that no call list but it doesn't work you still get calls.  My son got a call saying he owed for a checking account and they were going to sew him for it unless he took care of it over the phone he told the person he hasn't had a checking account in over 10 years (later found out the account was in New York which he has never been to).  This was some kind of scan or something because he would not pay anything and found out that the number that called him wasn't even a business number someone was just trying to get money out of him.

I got rid of land line phone service a few months ago and got majicJack and haven't had any problems with unsolicited calls since then.  I'm not here to advocate that product, but it sure is a lot cheaper.  I had a cell phone when I lived in Europe, service was excellent and a lot cheaper there.  I find I can do without a cell phone here in the US.

People still use landline phone service?? JK 

Seriously though, getting rid of our landline service years ago was one of the better decisions I have made. One less annoying thing to deal with!

I am personally glad I do not have a home phone.  Although, there have been instances where I think someone who previously had my number had a lot of different calls, because when I got the number, I would have a few different places call that I had NO clue about.

I received a call today stating that I was selected to be on a free 5 day cruise.  My bs alarm went off and I told the lady "yeah right, what's the catch" and she said "well you have to be excited to receive this free cruise" and then she hung up on me!   That is a first, I've never had a telemarketer hang up on me.  I called the number back got someone else and a long speech about how great my free cruise would be.  The catch is that I am required to pay 119 dollars via credit card over the phone for boarding charges and the like.  Not sure if it is a scam, but it sure smells like one.
