Just got an auto recorded phone call (it's 8:30 PM here) from Google


Um, no. It wasn't from google.

wanting to sell me advertising. The voice tells me the phone number
is (866) 976-5477.


Tomorrow, I'm going to call them, probably twenty or so times, and
ask to be put on their do not call list. I suggest (and request)
everyone who reads this, call them at least ten times.


See how they like it.


This is probably who called you:

Did the message sound like this:

Hi, this is Heather, a data service provider for Google. I wanted to
give you a call because we have a couple of positions open up in the
front page of Google, Yahoo, and Bing, specifically in your marketplace
and I wanted to talk to you about improving your position on these
search engines.

Again, this is for Google, Yahoo, and Bing for your business.

800-219-5458. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

This is a really good opportunity if you re looking to improve your
ranking and get more business.

Or this:

You're wasting your time thinking you can harass them by calling them
back.


DNC list is worthless. I've been on it since it started, and I find 3-4
calls a week on my machine, which points out that I am on DNC list. Most
are from robot dialers that start talking when machine answers phone, so
I lose first part of message. On the few occasions when I am home to
answer the call, they lie and say I have a 'business relationship' with
them, or they 'are taking a survey', Mostly when I ask for company name
and address, they hang up.

IMHO, robot dialers should be outlawed, with the possible exception of
public safety announcements (ie, a hurricane is coming, get out or it is
too late to get out, hunker down.) Marketing cold calls should be
outlawed as well, like they tried to do with spam faxes years ago,
another non-enforced law.
