There have been a lot of hang-up calls coming in on our home phone lately. My wife tells me that the hang-up calls are from a telemarketing company. I told her that I didn’t think that makes any sense at all since no one was trying to sell me anything! Then she claimed that there are companies that have their computers robo-call telephones and mark down if someone was home to answer the phone or not.
They use this information to create a list of when the best time is to call the house and then sell that list to companies that will really have someone call to try to sell us stuff. I thought that we were on the “do not call” registry, but maybe it’s expired. I think I’ll check it out and see if we are still on there. I don’t like getting these kinds of calls – sometimes I’m napping and it wakes me up, which is very aggravating!
