Everyday, maybe twice a day, we get calls from this number ...or "Private Caller". IF you pick
up, there is a pause before someone clicks in... a telemarketer format. Today, a woman
started to speak, and we pressed our automatic button that states, "I'm sorry, this number
does not accept this type of phone call, please remove us from your call list." Or, something
to that effect. That keeps us from getting emotionally involved. These units used to be
for sale years ago, but haven't seen them in recent time. It simply plugs into the phone
jack in back of phone and is activated only when the button is pressed. We call it "the finger" !.
We suspect it's the "timeshare" folks as others here have identified. We own timeshare and
telemarketers are trying to get us to sell it ... if we cross their palms with $ XXX dollars up
front ... of which you shall never see again. In other words, this is a SCAM artist at work.
Perhaps the FCC needs to get involved with this one ? ? Anyone know how to successfully communicate that to them ?? gmj
