I got an initial call from a grant instructor rep. While on the phone I did an internet search and found negative reports online about this company. This alerted me to hang up and not to do business with them. I did not tell them what I read online. I told them I was not interested in conducting this type of transaction over the phone and to please not call me again. She continued to talk and I told her "your not listening I said No." she would take no for an answer so I had to hang up on her.
They did call me again, 2 more times that day and evening. Each time I told them I had asked not to be contacted. At first it was just female reps, then male reps started to call. (I'm a guy) The following day when I got a call first thing in the morning I lost my patience and told the rep off. The calls stopped but friends warned me they could been recording my angry language and to be careful about what I say.
My feeling at this point was it doesn't matter if the company is legit or not, I do not want to do business with anyone that does not respect my wishes and keeps calling when I've told them not to.
It has been about 3 weeks and they are starting to call again. I get 3 to 4 calls a day. I just hang up on them. I have registered with the donotcall. Gov site and it says to allow 31 days for it to really take effect.
Now when they call I can detect a smile in their voice when they first say grant instructor because they are anticipating me to hang up. I have also received calls where no one says nothing. What I have wrote above just leads me to think they are just intent on being vindictive and harrassing because they don't like having their attempts to make a sale thwarted.
