-- Start talking.Same vendor has called me 6 times in the past 3 days. Each time I ask questions as to who they are to which they reply:
Greeting: Hi i'm Hank from ______. We need to get in contact with your VoIP manager.
Me: Do we have a contract with you?
Vendor: No.
Me: We would like to be removed from your call list please.
Vendor: We don't have a call list.
Me: Where are you getting our phone number from?
Vendor: My computer.
Me: And where is your computer getting our information?
Vendor: Our Client.
Me: And who is your client?
Vendor: The telecommunications industry as a whole.
Me: I'm assuming there are multiple phone numbers for multiple companies in your computer?
Vendor: Yes
Me: That's a call list. I want to be removed from that list.
Vendor hangs up.This has happened 5 other times this week where they just hang up. I keep blocking their number but they have called from a different number every time.

No, different. The guys name wasn't hank but his identity is irrelevant. They all just hang up on me eventually.

This is why I don't answer phone calls unless I am expecting a call from the out side, or I know the person calling from the inside.

Problem is I get random numbers all the time that are legit. Sucks

Only other thing I can think of is to call that company directly and keep moving it up the food chain until you get somebody to take care of it.

Is the quiz still going? It's been ages since I looked at it.
Well done, btw. -
Yeah. Quiz is still going. I get the email reminders and dutifully answer the questions... sometimes incorrectly, lol. I hate the obscure questions and am not ashamed to say I've googled a few of them.

Even though I'm having a bad day at least Laura is having a good day
