Subject: RE: BS: Rude and Intrusive Advertising
Over the last few months I've received maybe 20 of those 'Please listen carefully- I've been trying to reach you - the insurance on your car or vehicle is about to expire...' calls. (My "car or vehicle"? They don't know?)
It says to 'press 1' if I feel this call is in error. I did that successfully just once- I got a person on the line and told her that #1, I do not HAVE a car or vehicle and #2, they are to cease and desist.
She appeared contrite and said my number would be taken off the list.
There was a break in the number of calls and then they started again. Now, if I 'press 1', it breaks the connection. I've never gotten hold of anyone again.
So I decided to accept it as one of life's events and just hang up when the voice says 'Please list...'
