Don't forget the pretaped political ad that occurs from the same group at least twice a week. There was a news report about people complaining about this particular call, and the guy in charge said something to the effect of "This is the first I ever heard of people complaining about the calls!" He went on to justify himself with his own created proof that since he had never heard of complaints before that it made his sales-pitch calls valid and legal and all that. Does anyone know more about this one?

Anyway, I stopped AT&T calling me to try to get me to switch back when I finally told them that I would turn them in for harrassment since I had previously stated in writing and orally that I refused to do business with them over a personal matter five years ago, and that I would hold them accountable for any unkowing representative of thiers who called me in the future.

They are the only people these days that don't call no more. Like Cloudy said, I still get VISA calls and Home Mortgage lender calls...people who claim that they are allowed to call me. Usually, if the caller ID does not tell me who is calling (not even a number appears sometimes) I refuse to pick up. It is easy. If somebody wants to reach me and they are valid...I have an answering machine and I can call them back. If they do not leave a message...it was not important.
