Caught a new trick about a week ago. A company left a message on my cell phone, which when I listened to it called the company back.
They had encoded the dialing codes into their message to me. What ticks me off is that I will be charged for the call.

If I ever have time off from Marketing my highly successful and wildly popular tasty treats on a stick, I think I could market a product the reverses charges at the touch of a button (ie tellemarketers pay for the phone call plus my phone minutes)
Extended options may include $9.00 per second for bothering me.
This Free Enterprise System just ROCKS, why Retire? This is too much fun.

Dude, just call them back using 1-800-CALL-ATT!

I had some drunk calling me several times a week on my cell phone. I finally complained to the phone compan, and they said they couldn't do anything about it except give me a new number. I said that was the stupidest and most unreasonable thing I'd ever heard from a company in a competetive business.

I noticed, however, that the calls stopped immediately.

LibreOuMort, time to get with our rep and write a new bill!!

ProudVet77, could you explain this in more detail? Surely your phone didn't dial from DTMF received in the message? Or did it?

Save the message and talk to a lawyer.
