Baggins Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Today my wife gets another call at work. First a guy came on the phone and said "this is a california long distance call" then put her on hold. Then a woman came on the phone and said "is this such and such?" wife says yes, then says "you owe us x amt of money and we're charging interest". The woman kept going on and on about amounts owed and never said who she was or with. Finally my wife ask who it was, then they told her who they were...a CA. What's this "california long distance" greeting crap? Anyone ever heard that before?:oops:sorry didn't realize another person had posted the same title...changed it.

jennieb Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Haven't heard of this one before, but if I were your wife, next time I received a call like that I'd immediately ask who they were & then tell them she cannot receive phone calls at work & HANG UP! She should google them, get an address & send a DV telling them that all contact with her must be in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downto0 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 To answer your thread question...no, it's not legal. Read this case:http://www.jenner.com/files/tbl_s69NewsDocumentOrder/FileUpload500/1541/Knoll%20_v_IntelliRisk_Management_Corporation.pdfThis is something you can use for a counter claim if a claim is filed. You could also file your own suit but it gets a little expensive and difficult if the CA ask for Federal venue since the claim you would be filing would have Federal issues.Also, the CA would probably deny making the call. If you were to have a recording from an answering machine then this would be absolute proof of the violation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
