Has any one else had these people calling your house and telling you that you have won 2 weeks free. The first time they called I listed and she said your name was drawn for two weeks free or something like that. So I played along and she said would saturday work. I then said ok that will work. Well when I got off the phone I thought to my self I did not sign up for stuff like that. So I did not go. These PEOPLE keep calling me. Tonight they called again and then I asked where did you get my name she than hung up on me.

Yep, twice so far. The person calling hasn't matched who the phone is listed to either.
Last night, I said, wow, really. I won a couple of weeks ago too.
Evidently they haven't checked the Do Not Call list before doing this.
Perhaps I should post their phone numbers?

This happened to me 2 days in a row. When they called the second day, I just told them I had already been called.
Can they do this? It is like cold calling to solicit business-does this go against the Do Not Call list?

Happened to my wife and then to me. They said I won their random drawing. I think they even said something about drawing my name from the phone book. I think they are just cold calling going down the line in the phone book. Probably a couple of different callers. One makes initial calls then another who calls the no-response or noes from the first caller.

For anyone who is interested. Here's the National Do Not Call Registry.

It is the new Echo Water Business on East Main.
I thought their first pre-recorded message was rather unique, but apparently the next series of calls are Pi$$ing off some people.
I don't know if they are doing anything wrong by randomly calling people and asking if they want a water test or that you won two (2) weeks of FREE use of .....? ??. Check with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office. To get that # call the chamber.
Anyway, as they say in Cicely -- "Cavaet Pre-emptor" or "LET THE BUYER Beware".

How about using their telephone number when ordering anything online? That way they'll get telemarketers calling their business.
