OMG I’m SO SICK OF THESE PHONECALLS! For those of you with registered domains, you might know what I’m talking about – but doing a quick search I found there are several<\/a> other<\/a> people<\/a> who<\/a> have received these irritating phone calls, too. <\/p>\n

The first time they called I immediately knew it was a tele-marketing call. The entire call center is obviously based out of India, so I have to hear them stumble through my name every time. I’m sure they don’t run across the name “Willo” very often! They basically ask me if I own domain xyz and then say they have important information they need to give me, so they need my FAX number. MY FAX NUMBER!? Give me a break! If you’re so damn official, send me an email – send me something through the mail. If this information is so urgent, tell me right now!<\/p>\n

So the first time I asked them nicely to take me off their lists, that I have everything taken care of through my current providers & I do NOT want them calling me. They insist to the point I finally restate my request & hang up. I’ve received maybe 2 or 3 more since then, each time getting a little more firm with my request. Today: I lost my shit.<\/p>\n

It was the 2nd call TODAY and right off the bat I knew it was them again. So he barely gets through his shpeal when I ask to speak with his Manager (this takes about 6 tries repeating myself till he gets what I’m saying). Some other guy gets on & after I sternly request that I don’t care who they think they are that I want OFF their call list, he tries to give me the same “this is so important, this isn’t a sales call” shpeal… and I came unglued. “Why don’t you mail me an official letter if it’s SO important!? Or if you have my domain, why don’t you just email me, *especially* if I’ve asked REPEATEDLY to get OFF your phone list!?!?!?” And you know what he says? “Our networks are down right now.” HAHHAHHAAA uuuunnnggglluuuuuiiiinnnggg!<\/p>\n

I never do this, but I all out yelled at the guy SO loud and so PISSED that I hung up the phone shaking with adrenaline. They better not fucking call me again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
