First, I am on the Do Not Call list. Lately, I have been receiving many more nuisance phone calls than ever before. Like this one from supposedly "American Alert Services", they are of the recorded message variety with an option to connect to a customer service representative. I have grown tired of trying to ignore these calls and am trying a new approach since their "press a number to opt out" doesn't seem to work. I now connect to the customer service rep and immediately ask for the name and phone number of the company. The rep usually tries to engage me in his/her sales pitch. They usually end up hanging up on me without giving me any information. But I'm hoping that somehow this interaction will get them to stop calling. Plus sometimes I get some information like a company name to go with the Caller ID phone number in order to put it on the Do Not Call Complaint form.
