I no longer speak to anyone on the phone with an Indian accent. I just hang up.............
I had my caller-ID tell me it was "TEXAS" calling last night. I picked up for shi'ites and giggles...and it was the same Indian dude that's calling you.
"Each time it is an Indian who greets me by name..."
Wasn't me....honestly :)
Okay, big question.....to whom is the settlement to be paid? Unless this money goes back to the consumers it is just another "tax". That is my problem with all these fines, etc. The government is the one who keeps getting the monies.
Are you trying to tell me the government actually did something right..... Damn, never thought I'd see that day!
Have they gotten DISH Network yet? I hate thos b*star*s! But at least they stopped calling me after the Do Not Call list took effect. (thank GOD for the National Do Not Call list!!!)
It's about time. The SatTV creeps are more annoying than the Cable creeps. The development I live in only recently (Past 3 yrs) was wired for cable TV, and prior to that DirecTV had some sort of agreement with the developer to put a dish on all of the houses built between certain years. Well, after moving in the DirecTV van started making weekly visits, and the phone calls started. They couldn't believe that anyone wouldn't want to get slow speed satellite internet, snowy TV reception and wouldn't want to pay extra for each TV with service. I'll keep my Road Runner internet and Time Warner/Brighthouse cable. Oh, and the DirecTV dish ended up in the neighbors yard after the hurricane. :D
It kills me when somebody with a strong Indian accent introduces themselves with a very Anglo name. I had one call a few weeks ago and she couldn't pronounce my very common, never have to spell it last name and then said her name was "Michelle Miller". Right, and I'm Indira Gandhi.
Oops, "Somebody up there doesn't love you," DirectTV...
