So to make a long story short I keep getting these phone calls about every week or two. Its usually a different number every time but the same thing happens. I pick up and its an automated person saying "Hello, the FBI has reported an increase of break-in's in your area. If you allow us to put a sign in your yard we'll GIVE you a free home security system at no cost. Press 1 to speak to a representative press 2 to be places on our "Do Not Call" list. Well the first 3 times I pressed 2 (now over a month or so.) Got a call about a week and a half ago of the same thing so I spoke to the representative and told her, in my own way but very clear to place my number on the do not call list or delete it OR there's going to be problems. She proceeded to hang up on me. So I think its over. Well behold I get a call today, same thing. I press 1 get into someone called "Carlos" (they both had the same Hispanic accent) and told him very calmly that I am on the national do not call registry and that this is considered harassment and I have the right now to sue you. He replied with your right you have the legal right to sue me and if you did request to be put off the registry then "our machine must be broken". I told him after that I was on the national do not call registry anyway so it wouldn't matter. He then proceeded to tell me very quickly that it wasn't his fault it was the machine and hung up on me without letting me have my say. I tried to call back but not the line is coincidentally always busy. So here I am asking if there's anything I can do and if I was right in saying I could sue him for harassment.
