I happen to be getting automated calls that fill up my voicemails from telemarketers, running up my bill. It keeps asking the person to ‘hang up’ if it is not them, then continues onward.. leaving long messages of automated voices. It’s happened about 60 times now, and i HAVE called back and asked them not to contact my private cellphone number. What else can I do?

@ Brian -- thanks for sharing your experience with WaMu (now Chase?). FYI, if it is an actual violation of the law, you can sue telemarkers in small claims court as some other have done successfully.

Okay, so I recently got a cell phone. Washington Mutual is telemarketing it EVERY DAY (using a different caller ID number each time). Not only is it a cell phone #, but I ALSO signed it onto the DO NOT CALL list.

What does one do? How and to whom do I report Washington Mutual’s customer dis-satisfaction campaign? Note, I called them and was put on hold indefinitely once and redirected to a non-existant number another time.

if this is true, “You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone
number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers.”

then why am i, and millions of others, getting my cell phone slammed with telemarketer calls all day long? WTF?
