You must have…they called again last night!!
Saw they have commercials on TV now, I was sure to yell at.

This time I was sure to hit option 2 to “remove from list”
I doubt it will be effective, but we’ll see.

Sorry about that Josh, I gave them your number and they promised to leave me alone

I think they called me literally as you posted this!

That’s the 3rd time in the past week.

The calls started not long after my warranty expired, so I suspect MINI of providing my number to them.

But I’ve seen them mentioned on other sites, and apparently no one can get them to stop.

Ha, me to.. for 5 months now!!!!! F’rs! No way to call them back to tell them to go to hell, even. The number changes and even though I have put their numbers on the Gov’s “Do Not Call” list they continue.

Some of the numbers are from Canada, NY are and Porto Rico??? I am now getting the same thing for credit card rate reduction… can’t call them back either?

What’s the point? Anyway, I already have an extended 100,000 through my credit union.
