858-309-3000

I fell for one of those ads that said "get an instant life insurance quote now.  We'll find you the lowest".

Thought that meant it would show up on the screen after answering a few basic questions.  Of course, 1 question was phone #. A little Flash presentation runs across the screen mimicing a computer 'computing' and then they announce that you'll be contacted by an agent.....

Guess who this is?  One of the untold # of agents they sold my cell phone # to.

Like many 'hang ups', they're automated telemarketers.  

In the old days, a telemarketers had to dial manually, sit and listen to "ring, ring, ring" wasting valuable time.  Nowadays, the automated system calls phone #'s until it detects an answer tone.  

Then 15 minutes or so later, the call is routed to a human to contact you on the premise a "live one" has been located.  Saves their valuable time this way!

got a call from 1-858-309-3000. like everyone else thought I was going to get a quote online.  Yeah right! what was i thinking  Come to find out by googleing the number I find that it's Matrix Direct.  These people are so rude.  I have asked three times to have my number removed. One person said okay and said it was done, two days later another call. I had asked this person to remove me and he hung up on me.  They are such a waste of time.

Calls from this number, googled and now known as Matrix Direct, have been presistent and non stop.  When asked for a phone number in the future I will give an old number I don't have anylonger.  Of a fax machine number.

MATRIX DIRECT in San Diego quoted & sold me 2 (successive) term LI policies, 1st w/ Jefferson National, then when I had to change to a larger benefit amount a yr later it became the RBC Corp. because they no longer sold for Jefferson.  Premiums are fair, and service was almost perfect.

MD to me's merely a LI broker--not a 'telemarketer'; I contacted them, not the other way around.  So I've no complaint to express here, and would instead recommend them when you're shopping for term life.

Judging by others comments I certainly hope MD doesn't exhibit a 2-faced Jekyll/Hyde sales nature, depending on who/where you are.

Got this call today on New Years Day ... Happy New Year

I got one today (New Years) also.

Man, what a mistake it was for me to give out my number when shopping for insurance a few months ago. I've gotten four calls from this number in the last week alone. Oh what a country we live in to allow for the trading of contact information as such a viable industry.

Did not answer, rather researched through web and found it to be a bogus number of an insurance company or something. Very annoying!

I filled out a request for life insurance quotes online, and while I was hoping for a strictly online reply, I received a call from this number on my cell phone; it was listed as an unknown caller. When they called my home number, the same number showed up on the caller ID as Matrix Direct.  Since I had filled out the request for quotes only minutes before, I figured that's what the call was regarding, and it was.  The gentleman wasn't pushy, and after telling me the information I'd requested he also said he would email and mail it.  So, a pretty painless experience so far. I only wish that the caller ID on my cell had shown the company name.

I requested a life insurance quote with AIG TermLife.  They called me from this number

I received a few calls from this number. I had to call 1-800-318-3183 to remove it from their list though. Someone at the 1-800-318-3183 number gives the telemarketers at the 1-858-309-3000 number the names to call. So if you can't get them to stop calling, try calling 1-800-318-3183.

I like the fax machine number idea. I'll do it. Let them listen to the screcches and squeals of the machine.

the calls will not stop.  one call after another day after day.

I made the same mistake requesting quotes on life insurance, also thinking it would all be online.  Stupidly I put my cell number in the questionaire!  How many times will they call and get no answer before they give up?!!

Thought I was just getting a quote on line.  Within 20 minutes got calls both at home and on my cell

called left no messages and won't answer call backs

You have a chance to opt out if you don't want your number shared.

Just got the call.. i will not pick up calls from unknown listed numbers.

This number keeps calling me on my cell.

Odd that I received a call from this outfit, as I had never inquired about life insurance online or anywhere else. Maybe they were cold calling, I told them I wasn't interested and hung up.
