2028950900

Telephone rang at 9:30 am Sat morning, picked up on first ring. No one there. I am on DO NOT CALL LIST.

The call constantly and I want it stopped.

They've been calling 2 or 3 days a day for the last week, no one talks when I answered.  Today, someone finally talked when I answered - - they said they were calling on behalf of the American Diabetes Association.

Yes, I just received a call from this phone number.

Thanks Mr. Justice!
Now that I have it (mslecwion@thesmithco.com ) I'm going to use it!

Received a call from 202-895-0900.  I did not answer. Instead, I called the number because it registered "The Smith Company" on my caller ID.  They are a telemarketer.  I told the lady we are on the Do Not Call list and to take our number out of their system. She stated that it would be three to four working days to do that.  We will see!!!

Does anyone actually pay attention to those of us who complain about constant harrassment from these companies??
These people call ALL the time and when I answered ONCE, there was no one  there.

WHAT happened to the NO CALL law??

asks for a resident by name but when you ask if they would leave a message they say no

Good for you Brian!

Got a call  acouple days agp (approx. nov. 22, 2009).  No message left on my answering machine.

That's what i like about answering machines!  Excellent way to screen garbage calls.

Ya I too am getting calls from this nag................why don't they follow the rules? Leave me alone! I am on the DNC list! From reading the previous posts it sounds like garbage.........magazines? Diabetes association, law firm............can you say S-C-A-M-M-E-R!!!!

no message

Calls me all the time lately. Never leaves a message. I just pick up, say nothing, and hang up. Annoying!

This company called my number yesterday, but the caller asked for my dad by name.  I told her this was not my dad's number and hung up.  The company called me three times today (while I was at work) without leaving a message on my machine.  I blocked their number and filed a complaint at the FTC's Do Not Call site.

got a call a few minutes ago....one of about 4 calls tody..id is smith co...the man asked for a party not at this number, I asked what he was calling about...said it was solicitation for American Diabitis Society..when i asked for a call back number he said was a courtesy call, I said legally I should get a number if he wanted a donation..he gave me 1-800-232-6733..it is indeed for American DIabetis Assoc...but office now closed..I will  call tomorrow.

I agree with brain....send them a long fax with a lot of print & pictures. FAX NUMBER--202-380-8349. You might also contact their clients that are listed on their web page.

Let's stop complaining, and start working to put telemarketers out of business.

This is a copy of the message that I sent to     mslewion@thesmithco.com at the Smith Company:

Hello,

I called 202-895-0900 on 02/20/2010 (yet again) to request that you stop calling my number.  Since then, I have received calls on 02/23/2010 and 02/28/2010.  I have filed a complaint.  And since I do not know on whose behalf you are calling, I am notifying those on your client list, that I will no longer do business, or make contributions as long as they are your clients.

Thanks,
Robert L Davis

Good Lord, man, get a life.  I don't like these phone calls either, but am amazed the amount of time you have to get even with one of them.  What about health care reform?  What about war in Afghanistan?  What about starving people, diseases, terrorism, etc., all over the world?  What about the threat of jihads?  What about the pollution of drinking water in your own community?  Of course I could go on.  

You put way too much energy into a very minor annoyance that is simply the product of our democratic and consumerist society.  Caller ID and websites like this one provide you the insight and opportunity to JUST NOT ANSWER.

Sheesh, never imagined I'd be defending a telemarketer...

Left a voicemail. Identified themselves as the manager of my local Papa John's Pizza.
They have noticed I haven't ordered from them in a long time and they want to offer me discounts so that I would order again.

I have never got a call like this before!

daily hangup calls.
