Was I ever surprised to open my most recent statement from my credit union and find an insert in there that announces something they are calling “PC Deposit.” Sounds kind of interesting doesn’t it? Well, it is!
What this new service allows is for customers to deposit checks electronically. The customer takes a regular old paper […]
I didn’t realize how annoying unwanted calls are until I was accustomed to getting almost none of them since I signed onto the “Do Not Call” list a few years ago. It was so quiet for quite a while.
This year my “friends” at CitiMortgage were most likely to blame for a bunch of telemarketing calls […]
As most everyone knows, New Hampshire is quite well known as the state that holds the first Presidential primary in the nation. Every four years, this makes it annoying to have a telephone in the Granite State.
Tonight was the night it started. The first call lit up the caller ID box with “CBS […]
If you’ve read much of this blog you will know I have had my share of trouble with telemarketers. One of the problems is those infamous telemarketer “hang up” calls where you answer a call and there is nobody on the other end.

If I could get CitiGroup CEO Charles Prince on the phone or catch him on the street, this is what I’d like to say to him: Ha! Ha! Ha!

I’m a regular reader of the Drudge Report, and as most Internet users know, that site contains many links to various news stories […]
I got an e-mail recently from my Dad about dealing with telemarketers and junk mail senders. It was one of those e-mail messages that is forwarded endlessly around the Internet, but this one actually looked like it might have some useful information contained within.
The old tried-and-true methods like picking up the phone and then asking […]
I wish I knew what it was that has ended my long period of peace and quiet. A few years back when I signed onto the national “Do Not Call” list the telemarketing calls to our house virtually ended.
Once in a while (maybe three of four times a year), a telemarketing call would come through […]
It’s been pretty quiet around here on the telemarketing front. I have not received any more calls from the numbers I have discussed here recently. Perhaps CitiMortgage/CitiBank, whom I blame for the recent rash of telemarketing calls, has filtered out the information to their partners that I do not want to be bothered with their […]
Sometimes when dealing with a certain organization or company, you just get a “feeling.” The kind of feeling that tells you that you should be extra cautious in all your dealings with them.
Unfortunately, I did not get the feeling where this particular company (or companies) is concerned until it was too late. I had signed […]
