Friday June 7, 2013 12:14pm EDT.
Received call with 1-615-800-7621 CID
Did not answer and a voice mail message was left.
The vm recording left is as follows:
"Auto insurance. To utilize this free service and adjust your current insurance rate or for more information press 1 now. Press 3 to be removed from this list."
I return called this company (whatever its name is) and was greeted with the following IVR recording:
"Para Español oprimir numero ocho. Hi, this is Mary. Auto insurance companies like State Farm, Nationwide, and Farmers are competing for your business because our local auto insurance rates just went down this week. Press 1 to speak with me and I'll give you a new quote right now and save you several hundred dollars on your policy. Pressing just one button can save you money so press 1 to get the best coverage at the best price right now."
I pressed 1 and a female named Megan answered and asked if I wanted to get a quote on insurance. I very curtly told her no and then advised her that my number is on the do not call registry list and that I will not receive any more calls from their company. She said "Oh" and assured me she would remove my number from their database.
She said "Oh. I will go ahead and take your number off the [call] list."
I then hung up.
Telemarketers and their client/seller KNOW it is against the law for them to be calling numbers that are on the do not call registry (www.donotcall.gov) and are required to maintain a paid annual subscription to the registry. That way they cannot plead ignorance. There are exceptions to this general rule of course. But this website ( http://business.ftc.gov/advertising-and-marketing/telemarketing ) will give you the information needed.
Of course there are always mistakes that people make, which I can usually forgive once, but telemarketers and their client/sellers can be fined for calling you if you have registered your number to not be called.
Know your rights and don't be afraid to stand up for them!

I called this number back, and a was connected with a voice message explaining that this number is the Shriners calling for support for their current campaign. If you would like to be removed from the call list, call their Customer Care Line at 1-800-470-5349, between 9am-9pm EST.

This number is now calling my house phone which is only used for us to call out. We all have cell phones but it rings several times a day while we are sleeping since we all work nights. I looked at the dates of the other posts and am very surprised to see this is a 4 year old problem. It's now May 5th, 2011

For all the 1 800's numbers..The only thing I've been doing is pick up the phone and hang up ...belive me the 1800 calls almost stop at my house...I guess they don't like that!!!LOL.
| my2bratts 2009-06-11 16:51:37 Unknown |
continuous, four or five times a day, I receive calls to my business phone or because that is forwarded to my cell, they could be going to my cell number. I do not answer these calls at all but this many times is getting exasperating!!

Remises Shriners... and no matter how many times you tell them never to call you again and they say they won't they do anyway. I tell them not to call me ever again, and two or three weeks later, they are calling me again, mostly dead air calls. Someone told me that if they call and I get a person that puts me on hold, that I should wait until they are ready, then put them on hold to see how they like it...
| Beatrice 2008-05-09 00:38:02 Unknown |
If you call the number back, they have an automated message telling you that they are Remises Shriners. They also have a number for you to call to have your name removed from their calling list (1-800-470-5349). Listen to the options, then they let you know what number to press (it was option 9 for me)they then ask you to listen to see if your number is in fact the number they are going to read off to you. If it is your number you then press 1. I haven't received any calls from them since I have followed these steps :)

Call 18004705349 and listen to the menu options (I think it's 9) and they will take you phone number off their call back list.
