For over a month I have been getting intermittent calls from this number and a couple of related numbers (I'll talk about them shortly).  Though I never pick up the phone when I see in the call display a number I don't recognize, I've gotten voicemail from this number (one of my phones has a feature that automatically converts the speech into text).  It's an automated voice saying that its company "has programs in place" that will, if you have $10,000 or more in unsecured debt, "help you lower your monthly payments in half and reduce your total debt by up to 50%".  They add at the end, "If you are not interested, press 2"--or whatever number--"to be removed from our calling list."  Of course, by the time you hear *that* in the voicemail, it's already too late to press that number.

These people called me yesterday and today between two cell phones for which I've been paying on a prepaid plan (I set up these phones with numbers in different area codes for different cities because I'm a musician and I'm trying to expand my market).  In effect, they have "stolen" the airtime from me twice in each case--once when they left the voicemail, and once when I accessed the voicemail itself only to discover the caller wasn't a client.  Shame on them.

In addition, they have called me twice on a cell phone that my brother got for me for his insurance business and for which *he* is paying the bill.  For the first of those calls, the number didn't show up at all--it was merely a notation of "UNKNOWN".  For the second, they had clearly munged the phone number, as it showed up as "226-289-170"--hardly a NANP-compliant number format.  If they feel they have to resort to such munging tactics, this smacks of utter cowardice to me.  It's hardly any better than those "This is your captain speaking" calls.

If anyone is TRULY in debt, it's these people--every time they call someone, they incur just that little bit more of moral debt.  We shouldn't have to put up with this.  We don't need to have "ad callers" clogging up our lines or "stealing" our prepaid minutes.
