Anyone get those annoying mortgage calls?..

At my work I have been getting these automated calls about getting a mortgage. It tells you to press 1 to speak to someone or 2 to get removed from the list. The first few times I hit 2. Then after still getting the calls I pressed 1. As soon as someone picks up. I try to explain that they keep calling. But, as soon as they realize I am not interested in the mortgage. I get hung up on. When I do a *69. I get a number that when I call asks if I want to be taken off the list and that it takes 24hrs to remove it. After the third call in one day. I pressed one and as soon as the lady answered. I asked her the name of her company again. She said "I never gave it to you". I asked her not to hang up and that I wanted to be taken off. She then said ok and hung up. I guess I if they call again. I will try to act more interested so I can get more info on who they are. This is so aggravating.

Re: Anyone get those annoying mortgage calls?..

I've been getting two types of automated calls, one for extending my car's warranty (I haven't owned a car for about a decade), and the other for renegotiating a credit card's interest rate. Both of them act like this is an important, official announcement.

Just for fun, instead of hanging up one day I pressed 1 and got an operator. I asked him about my warranty, and he admitted that it wasn't an official call from a car company. Basically they're just trying to scare people into talking to them and then try to make some (probably) bogus sale. I then mentioned that I was on the no-call list, and that, in fact, I don't own a car. That's when he hung up on me.

The fact that they hang up on me when I try to talk to them is what infuriates me the most.

Get this. Some jerk called my CELL PHONE last week and left one of these stupid mortgage ads message. When I googled the number,it's to someone up in Indiana,and when you call the number, there's a recording that says it's no longer a working number.Go figure???
