STOP CALLING ME!!! (Privacy Questions)

[KWhit]

Some asshat needs to have his keyboard shoved down his troat.

Over the past couple of days, I've gotten a number of phone calls from Mercedes Benz dealerships, all asking for some guy named Tony. I asked a few questions of them and learned that evidently "Tony" requested an internet quote on a Mercedes. And he gave them MY cell phone number as his contact information.

So I have gotten call after call after call from individual dealers from all over the country trying to sell me a car. They say that they are all run seperately and can't remove my number from the main database and that I'll continue to get these calls indefinitely. That there's nothing they can do about it. It is annoying as shit.

Not only that, but some of them are VERY pushy. Even when I tell them the situation and very pointedly ask them to remove my number, they start putting the moves on me. "Well, now that I have you on the phone, are you in the market for a new vehicle?" SHEESH!

Another problem is that this is my work cell phone. I have to answer it (and I can't always tell from the caller ID if it's an important call or not).

It has become a real nuisance.

This phone # is registered on the Do Not Call List. But "Tony" provided it to them, so I can understand getting a call or two. But aren't companies supposed to have policies in place to remove you from their lists when you ask them to? Shouldn't Mercedes Benz be required to STOP CALLING ME?!?!?!

If anyone has any insight into this, that would be great. I have searched for a privacy advocate type message board, but haven't found one yet. There's gotta be one out there, so if you know of something like that, please pass it along.

Blahdy blah blee blah.

Yeah so anyway, about that Mercedes....

So you tell them that you don't know a Tony and the dude on the other end of the line is like, "ok, we'll remove you from the list, but just one last thing", and you're all like "WHAT?" and the dude goes, "I'm Tony", and you're like "OH SNAP!"
And we call it Mercedes 911.

So I searched around some more for a message board that deals with stuff like this and thought I had found one. Until I clicked on the FIRST post that I saw:



Spy satellites used by celebrities in music, television and movie business

I have been spied on by a telescopic surveillance satellite since 1985. The technology used is electronic interferometry computer systems. It enables a hologram to be relayed from the glass surfaces of a house, car or any room - windows and mirrors, when the satellite is directed at a subject, or in my case - a victim. The satellite can also pick up sounds and voices within the building, room or car from vibrations from the glass surface. Data can also be transmitted from the house via phone and internet lines. In other words, the satellite can pick up what you are saying, typing or reading on the phone or internet.

Do an internet search for the words in popular music lyrics such as: satellie; moon (satellite orbiting the earth); glass; windows; mirrors; blue light or cloud (the light of the hologram being produced at their end of receiver-ship); lyrics suggesting "she" walks/moves right through them like a ghost (the transparency of the hologram); also infrared light (enables them to see people in the dark or at night inside a room); and ultraviolet or blue lights (that is the colour of the hologram); also suggestions that they are "following a star" (a moving satellite); as I am an Australian, look for lyrics about the Wizard of Oz, Emerald City, Red Shoes, boomerangs, red and yellow colours (traditional), etc.

Also look for references to satellites in their music videos or CD covers. eg, Train; Talking Heads; etc.

Start with Elton John lyrics - he initiated the project. Then go to: Eric Clapton; U2; yeah yeah yeahs; XTC; Travelling Wilburys; Train; Tom Jones; the Pretenders; Sting; Sixteen Stone; Simply Red; Simple Minds; Scott Mike; Roy Orbison; Robert Palmer; Robert Miles; Ricky Martin; Richard Ashcroft; Red Hot Chilli Peppers; REM; Quiznos Rats (whoever they are); Prince; Peter Gabriel; Pearl Jam; Passengers; Orchestral manouvres in the dark; Nick Cave; Midnight Oil; Mick ****; Merril Bainbridge; Matchbox 20; M people; Luscious Jackson; Louise Goffin; Limp Bizkit; Lenny Kravits; KT Tunstall (she's a bitch - jealous because of her love interest, Bono); John Mellencamp; John Cale; Joe Cocker; Jimmy Barnes; INXS; Gwen Stefani; Guster; George Michael; George harrison; Gary Moore; Crowded House (taking them with me wherever I go because they have put their telescope on a weather satellite they bought from the Russians, that follows me everywhere - like Bono said - "daddy's with you wherever you go"); Rolling Stones; and many, many more.

Because I don't want anything to do with them or their lifestyle, crazy as it may seem to you but understandable when you know what they are doing, - they have made my life a free-for-all for anybody in the entertainment business to attack, ridicule and humiliate me.

I have NO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER. I cannot even go to the toilet, bathe or scratch without that mob of psychopaths commenting on it. They are trying to push me over the edge (Happy Feet movie)by isolating me, thinking nobody will ever believe me. If I suicide, they are off the hook. they have no conscience at all. Psychopaths, all of them.

I am writing an autobiography that explains everything. I am also writing a novel titled "The Sociopaths - There Really Are Monsters in Space". I hope you are all enlightened as to whom you are putting up on those pedestals to idolise. Monsters and psychopaths.

Do your homework, search for the clues, and look for my book when it's published. It will be a good and educational read for all of you.

God bless.

So, KWhit...looking for a good deal on a car?

[stevew]

I suggest you dial all the permutaions of your number until you find out who tony is. And then after that you feed his info to as many spammers as possible. Try to see if they'll give you "your" last name even.

[stevew]

dola, address too. I'd send Tony all manner of dildo catalogues and bondage fetish furry magazine offers.

[Toddzilla]

While that stinks, the "Tony" has just risen to the top of my list of ways to get back at annoying assholes that piss me off.

I would, but I think he did it intentionally. My number is one that lends itself to being stolen for these kinds of things (lots of repeated numbers). In fact, something similar happened to me a couple of years ago.

Just tell them - "Mercedes? Why, I would be interested in a new Mercedes. What do they run, like $10K new? I only make $6.25 an hour but, with the new minimum wage law in place, I should be scoring a cool $7.50 an hour so, I think I could afford that."

This will be you after ten years of calls from dealerships.

Tony would make great revenge for this thread: http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=58063
