Do you recognize this number? 1-206-666-3214
How about this one? 1-206-339-8475
Or this? 1-206-202-4842
Or this? 1-206-596-5984
And there was another from 1-813-418-6141 yesterday, too.
Here's a sampling of their annoying voice mails:
...Buy another lead. For more information press 1 now...
...So you know that already. We want to teach you how to...
...1 now for more information or leave me a message...
Recognize these numbers? I hope you don't but you may. You may also have heard of Leads111.com, which is connected with at least one of these numbers. Their site is as annoying as the voice mails. Don't bother going there. Really (bet some of you will).
I'm calling 'em out and putting their crappy business out in public coz I'm ticked.
I have been besieged in the last few weeks by multiple voice mail broadcast spammers. I must be on a master list somewhere.
I have had a periodic call now and then in the last few years, but in the last couple of weeks I have had at least 2 dozen, often 2 or 3 in a day. I learned my lesson after picking up the first one - I knew it was a Seattle number and thought it could possibly be a lead. Hah.
What's especially annoying, apart from them leaving a voice mail that ends up as email via Voice Cloud, is you apparently cannot unsubscribe. I tried. I listened to one call and pressed the 9 as they said to be removed. Nope, didn't work.
I did listen to another call and, as the caller suggested, left a message - "please stop calling me because I am going to report you to the Do Not Call list." Guess what broadcast spam call came through again. Since no one is personally making the calls I suppose there is no responsibility for action.
I refuse to use my minutes and make a toll call back to unsubscribe, which is what you appear to need to do unless you are lucky enough to listen to the call, although I suspect it would be to no avail.
Not sure the Do Not Call list helps, especially if a cell phone is used for business. But I dutifully made my formal complaints - SEVERAL TIMES. I have no illusions it will help but I felt vindicated.
Now when they call I just disconnect. But I'm still annoyed. Cripes, I just got another one as I was posting this - 1-206-339-3402. Egads.
