RETURNED CALL & it was WCA - I GOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE. CHOSE TO UNSUBSCRIBE BY PRESSING OPTION 1 & WAS FORCED TO THEN CONTINUE LISTENING TO A RECORDING THAT TRIED TO PERSUADE ME TO CHANGE MY MIND & NOT CANCEL MY CHOICE TO "UNSUBSCRIBE TO THEIR SERVICES" WHICH STATED ON FRIDAYS ONE CAN WIN A CASH PRIZE OF $100 PLUS OTHER VALUABLE PRIZES, IE IPODS, ETC. IF YOU WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE OPTION 1, THEN OPTION 2 - & IT SAYS TO GIVE THEM 7 DAYS TO GET OFF THE LIST & THEIR CALLS TO STOP. (WE'LL SEE!) I HOPE THIS INFO HELPS THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T TRIED TO CALL THE NUMBER OR HAVENT STAYED ON LINE LONG ENOUGH TO HEAR THE RECORDED MESSAGE WITH THE CANCEL / OPT OUT OF CALLS INFORMATION...I OPTED O-U-T. TOO MANY CALLS & WRONG NUMBERS & HANG-UPS AS IT IS, DON'T NEED ANY, LET ALONE MORE! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT TO THE "QUIET ENJOYMENT OF ONE'S HOME"? FUNNY THING IS, I DO NOT RECALL EVER "SIGNING UP" FOR THESE WCA AWARDS CALLS...SO BE CAREFUL, EVERYONE, IF YOU ARE ON-LINE, FACEBOOK, ETC. ANY OF THOSE SO-CALLED CONTESTS, AND PRIZES YOU CAN WIN JUST BY SUBMITTING WHAT SEEMS LIKE HARMLESS INFORMATION ALBEIT PERSONAL, IE AN EMAIL ADDRESS, OR PHONE NUMBER, ETC., IS LIKE ALL OTHER THINGS THAT "IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!" NOTHING IS "FREE" ANY MORE. AND WHAT LITTLE PRIVACY WE STILL HAVE, IS SLOWLY BEING CHIPPED AWAY.
