You can also call an 800 number to get off of marketing lists, but if you are uncomfortable doing that, you can write to the 3 credit reporting bureaus. I've done that too. I still get a ton of junk from Citi which owns AT&T Universal, Shell cards and others, so I've called and written their customer service department. Maybe I'll get something free since I've made such a stink. Seriously, they send me 5 offers in the mail a week and I those are real. I just don't want them!! <br... [ More ]

I get several recorded messages a week like that and I also get similar ones about my car warranty. I've thought about getting on that no-call list and sueing them.

Having been forced to take telemarketing jobs and appointment setting jobs to pay my bills, I actually am very patient and understanding, but this was a message left on my cell and it was obviously not true. Too bad I didn't answer the call. It would have been fun to say "Why don't you call me at work tomorrow. I work out of the FBI office in Tampa

If you Google fcc.gov, you'll find a link for filing complaints of this type. If you're on your state's no-call list, you might have cause for legal action. Note the time and date of the offending call. Copy and paste the text of your complaint to a blank email and send it to yourself, and then print out a hard copy to give to your attorney. Jim
