Thank You All!

I was contacted about 2 weeks ago by GE, and since I hadn't been
dating since I hadn't been dating since I move here (to Atlanta) in
April (Yikes!), I told them I was interested, but would be very busy
until my current project at work was complete which would be Oct. 1.

The sales rep said she understood, and that they would keep me on
file, and would call me in October.

She was about to hang up, and said, "Ok, if we call you at work, we
will only use the name "GE", is that ok?"  Well, it hit me, I hadn't
given them a work number!  I asked her right then how she had gotten
it (I hand't sent in any forms) and she just said, "Well, we have
excellent sources."  Now, if I'm not mistaken, the only way she could
have the name and number of my employer is through my credit report,
and I'm almost certain it isn't legel to just pull one for contacts
(lawyers? am I right?).

Well, I kind of forgot about them until Wednesday, when they called at
work, to tell me that I had "won" a free evaluation, and could they
set up an appointment?  Well, I had three people in my office, and
just to get rid of her, I said sure, how about Sunday at 2:30.  She
was thrilled, and said they'd call to remind me.

They called this morning, and I told them that I still didn't have
time to do this until October, and while I was still interested, could
we reschedule?  They eventually said yes, but called an hour later and
seemed to have forgotten about the previous call!

I still figured I'd give it a shot in October, but now that I've heard
your horror stories, I'm calling them tomorrow to tell them in no
uncertain terms to remove me from their lists, and _never_ to call me
(especially at work) again.  I'll keep you posted on their response.


Thanks Everyone!

Bill
