Caller spoke "hello" in spanish. I said I didn't speak spanish and caller began his "pitch" for whatever he is calling about. threatened with a call to police. I could hear other english speaking people and answering machine out-going messages on the line as well. When I hung up and picked up the phone again a few minutes later, the caller was still on my line. My phone number is on the National Do Not Call list, as well as the Do Not Call list for my state. According to my telephone company, you can also write a request to: Telephone Preference Service, Attn: Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 1559, Como, NY 10512 and have them remove your number from call lists. Not sure how effective it will be, but I guess it's another option. Not that the aforementioned 2 Do Not Call options are any more effective...just sick of seeing the call come up on my caller ID.
