until we were WAY into the conversation. I thought it was MasterCard talking to me. So, at first I did not realize it was unsolicited.

she used to call us at least twice a week.

I was over at a friends place drinking and watching a ball game when he got the call. I picked up the phone and toyed with the guy at the other end for awhile. It all fell apart when I insisted on speaking with Rachel because I knew we were meant to be together.

Now it's some dude, that's not going to get me to press 2 dammit.

Services before. I thought I was talking to a MasterCard employee. I was sound asleep and they were into the spiel before I woke up.

Could have sworn they said they were with MasterCard, so I listened for a long time and then it dawned on me what BS they were saying.

how did they get my number? the bastids. I swear, I have never heard of them. Never paid attention to it, I guess. I thought it was MasterCard I was talking to ... way down into the spiel it comes out Credit Card Services. I was so pissed!

Hung up.

They called back.

Hung up again.

They called back again.

This time I told them I was turning them over to the FCC for harassment if they called back.

They did NOT call back.

The end.

Better be THE END.

shit. woke me up. fuckers

I guess I could actually talk to them and maybe they will take me off their list. Lots of times I just answer and leave the phone off the hook, it doesn't deter them but that's ok. I have a bunch of other callers similar to them even though I am on the Do Not Call list for Wisconsin and the National version.

Sometimes they call as late as 9 P.M. It seems to go in patterns.

I'll have a whole day go by without someone thinking about me

Damned if they didn't call me from a cell number,which is also now blocked.Numerous complaints registered with the National Do Not Call over the course of several weeks,did exactly diddly squat.Now we've got some collection agency out of St.Louis calling,in separate calls and from 3-4 different numbers,asking for two different women we've never heard of.
