[Hey, You!] 1-800-BUZZ-OFF

You are the carpet-cleaning company that keeps sending prerecorded messages to my mobile phone and my landline. I got tired of being hung up on every time I would dial 1 in order to speak to a human being and demand to know the name and contact information for the company from which the call was coming. Your company knows that you are flouting the law by ignoring the national do-not-call registry, on which both my numbers are registered. So this time, when you called, I actually made an appointment. I gave you a real address; it just wasn’t mine. And I gave you a real name that wasn’t mine either. So now you are going to waste YOUR time sending someone to my carpet-cleaning appointment on Sunday just like you’ve been wasting my cell-phone minutes and my time with all your illegal calls.
