            Status:
            Resolved
            Ongoing telemarketing phone calls, often answered by 'dead air'. Very much finding these daily calls to be distracting and disrupting our household. How do I get off their calling list? It sounds like they are a telemarketing company disguising as a marketing/research company. The daily calls are increasing and disruptive to our home.
