it was a recorded telemarketing call and there was no-one to speak with to request to stop the calls.

This number has called every morning for a week - telemarketing.  I am on the do not call list.

this is a recorded telemarketing call about credit card promotions [scam].
DO NOT PICK UP
report them to https://complaints.donotcall.gov if you are on the do not call list.
unless they are a political organization, a charity or a surveyor they are violating FTC regulations by calling you.

Thanks for the advice.  I am receiving calls from these jerks as well.  I attempted to ask them to take me off their calling list and they hung up on me in the middle of my request.  I have filed a complaint. I hope others do the same.
