- This morning at <<5 AM>>, we were woken up by a saleswoman, supposedly calling
- long distance from New York. She said that she represents "Strange Name
- Associates" or some company like that and that we had won a prize for which we
- should call a local number this afternoon.
-
- I never respond to any of these free prize offers, and was extremely annoyed at
- this odd hour call. When I asked about the odd time, she said that her company
- requires that she call people between 4 and 8 AM. What nonsense..
-
- Does anybody have similar experience? What can I do if I get a repeat call and
- the person would only give me an obscure local number and not the number she is
- calling from?
