Last night I got a wonderful call from AT &T and I asked to be taken off thier list.
The lady said that she can’t remove me unless I give her my #
I thought there was a law regarding giving your number to the telemarketer. I had a 20 min arguement and it escalated to her supervisor. I guess I was bored…hehe
So, AT&T called you, but doesn’t know your number.
- They are a phone company
- They called -you-
- Hello Opal!
They do have to remove your their calling list if you utter the correct phrase. The part that I am confused about is why she wanted to know your number if she called you and she works for AT&T.
Was the company using an auto-dialler that supressed that information to the ‘consultant’ so they couldn’t call you back and harass you if you told them to fark orf?

I’m sure C@W has the crux of the matter here.
By the way: Most telemarketers are outsourced reps and work for telemarketing companies that are contracted by the business in question.
I always ask telemarketers, “So, what company do you actually work for?”
