I've been on the Do-Not-Call list almost since its inception.
About a month ago I started receiving phone calls from Life Alert telling me they want to schedule the shipping of my product. The first time I just said I didn't order it and hung up on them.
The next time they called I realized that they had said the product was paid for and the light bulb went off over my head that they probably meant I had to pay shipping. So I told them I wasn't going to pay shipping and hung up on them.
They called again...I hung up again.
Finally after the fourth call, I filed a report on the Do-Not-Call web site.
Well, guess what, folks...I just now got another call from them. It's always the same guy - John, in Shipping. When I tried to talk over him he said maybe a friend or relative had bought the product for me. I told him I live in a cave and don't have any friends or relatives. And I hung up on him and filed yet another report.
The first few calls were made from a phone in the 209 (California) area code, but this last one came from the 213 (California) area code. When I called the numbers back I get a recording that my call can't be completed as dialled.
I'm starting to doubt my self. Could someone have bought this product for me? It's not a one time payment...its a monthly thing. If memory serves, it's $30 a month. I don't have a friend or relative who can afford such a cost.
If I don't have to pay for the product, and the shipping is paid also, what is the company getting from scamming me? I never get to the scheduling part of the phone call, so I guess I'd have to give my address, which I won't do...but there are plenty of ways people can get your address, aren't there?
