Just order as much stuff as possible COD and when it comes in refuse it. If their smat they won't bother you again.

The cell companies have just started selling their phone lists. You probably knew this because we are all now getting telemarketing calls on the cell phones.

That's why I don't answer calls without caller id incoming.

Tanning Queen · 14th November 2007, 02:38 PM

Cell phone companies have not started selling their lists. Where did you hear that?

Ralph · 14th November 2007, 03:07 PM

The news. And that's when the calls started.

You mean something on the news wasn't true? ~my world has collapsed~

Tanning Queen · 14th November 2007, 03:18 PM

Ok, show me a link then.

Tanning Queen · 14th November 2007, 03:23 PM

Are you talking about the "do not call" list for cell phones? THis is just an urban legend. Here is the link:

Same with my cell, if I don't know the number, I do not answer. You can leave a voicemail if it is that important.

Gottaknow · 26th December 2007, 12:08 PM

The cell phone companies did not sell the lists it was the magazines that did it. Island Sun times sells their list because on one of their forms I put my cell number and I have been call by Rsun and Squeeze several times even after I tell them I am their competition.
Gk

Same here.......just had one today...when I asked them if they had heard of Performance Brands, they told me they were a performance brand.

They've been calling my home phone and my cell phone almost as much as they've been calling the salon!

I'm tempted to file harassment charges. LOL. I bet stalkers don't call the object of their desire as much as these freaks call me!

Secretstanning · 8th January 2008, 01:28 PM

If your employee's are anything like mine, the telemarketer probably called the salon and they gave them your cell number. I am getting about 5 calls a week from these guys. It always starts out the same. First they ask for the guy who owned the salon 4 years ago and pronounce his name wrong. then they say the have the best lotion made, then they have an incredible deal. just buy 36 bottles and get 36 for free! and its only $30 a bottle.

I am to the point now that i have fun with them.. I say hmm thats funny that exactly what the last 20 guys said.. are you calling them liars?? And after buying all their lotion i don't have any room left in my warehouse for any more.. sorry then hang up.

I think that the turnover is probably so high that the call list just keeps getting passed to the next new guy.

jamaicabreeze · 8th January 2008, 02:29 PM

Just got a call from three wishes yesterday on my hubby's cell phone. The only person that got his cell phone number is one of the disty. So, I think that's how they got the number.

dcjjp1 · 8th January 2008, 07:05 PM

I just hang up on them. I feel bad, but they chose this career path. Not my problem.
