Even though I am on the do not call list and have an unlisted number, I still get solicitations at home and occasionally on my cell phone. Alan Carlton shares a simple way to trump the auto-dialing system that most telemarketing companies use to effectively irritate everyone with a phone.PS - you will have to explain to Aunt Betty why she's hearing this when she calls you.
Now, if their computer receives a long audio burst (an answering machine) " Hello, this is Alan Carlton", then it will disconnect, but it will log you phone number as valid, for a later call-back. Oh Lovely! Some are even capable of detecting Fax tones and will even transmit a fax trying to sell selling something you're probably are not interested in. However, do not answer, or when you do answer the phone, or if fax tones are detected, or if it detects an answering machine, in all four (4) cases IT LOGS YOUR NUMBER AS A GOOD PHONE NUMBER FOR FUTURE CALL- BACK --- PLUS THE COMPANY IS ALSO SELLING THESE VERIFIED VALID NUMBERS LIST TO OTHER TELEMARKETERS.Visit Alan Carlton for the how-to.
A SIMPLE WAY TO STAY OFF THE LIST IS TO USE THEIR OWN TECHNOLOGY AGAINST THEM.
