[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 184052, member: 367"] Both cell and landline. If I don't recognize an area code on my cell I usually don't answer, If it's important they will leave a message. Had a message a couple weeks ago someone with a threatening tone to his voice yelling me if I don't get back to him soon I will miss out on this loan or what ever it was he was trying to promote. Good point Allen about giving out your number , Harbor Freight is the only store I recall that asked for my Phone # and I gave It too them since I am on their mailing list. Worse than that I never remember what number I gave them last so I know I have given them both numbers. The rest ask me for zip code. The lady this morning was on landline , Kinda makes you wonder about their well being when they start screaming into the phone like that. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Seems to have gotten worse again since they figured out a way to get 701 area code access. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I wonder if they put you on a "do pester" list ? A few years ago I was working outside year around and had to answer all my calls and this one guy kept calling for about a year and wouldn't quit even after I threatened him. He always tried to sound like a long lost friend Well I was bored one day sitting in the car waiting for my wife who shopping and guess who called , I had all day. Within a few min I had taken him up on every special he had plus I jawed him way down on a couple big items then when I was done shopping and he asked for CC information I calmly suggested that we have a talk about what it feels like to be busy at work trying to make a living and some prick keeps trying to tie you up on the phone and waste your time. Man did he come unglued, He called back twice within a few minutes just screaming. Not painting all telemarketers/sales people with a broad brush , I don't mind having to say NO once and politely ask to make sure I am on the do not call list but constant pestering gets old.
