Posted by SharonEvans on July 26th, 2013

 Everyone has to deal with telemarketing calls from time to time, and the fact is that most people don’t mind particularly, and don’t object to the practice until the calls become excessive. With many companies selling customer’s personal information left and right, you can get on countless data lists and receive calls from many companies trying to convince you to buy something or other. But, there are some telemarketing companies that take it a step further by engaging in irritating and unethical practices. Whether they call before 8AM or after 8 PM, whether they call or leave messages several times a day, whether they are particularly insistent in not taking you off their calling lists, as requested by you, they can become a real source of stress. Find out how to ease the stress and help yourself by using free reverse phone lookup directories to perform as many reverse phone lookups as you need to find out who is calling you and why, and to find out how to make them stop.

If you don’t want to receive any telemarketing calls, you can make your preferences clear by adding your number to the National Do Not Call Registry. It doesn’t cost a thing, and once you put your number in the Registry, telemarketers should stop calling it in 31 days’ time at the most. The problem is, however, that some telemarketing companies ignore that fact completely and go on calling you incessantly. You can file a complaint against companies engaging in this behavior on the website for the National Do Not Call Registry, but complaints can take some time to be resolved.

When faced with such a problem, you can talk to your phone company and to the police, but most of the time you’ll find little sympathy, so you need to take matters into your own hands. The way to start things of is to find a good online reverse phone lookup directory. While the caller remains the same (the company, not the agent necessarily) the number you see on your phone might change or else remain the same. There are some online reverse phone lookup directories that charge a fee for their services, and there are other, user-submitted online reverse phone lookup directories that offer the same service for free. When given a choice, try the free reverse phone lookup service first—after all, it won’t cost you anything.

Paid reverse phone lookup services can give you incorrect or outdated information the same way that free reverse phone lookup directories can. At least when you’re using a free service you don’t have to waste time creating an account and inputting your personal information, before putting in your payment information, only to then see the information you just paid for is useless. When you do a reverse phone search on a user-submitted directory you get the chance to write comments relating to the phone number you just looked up, so you can tell other people to avoid dealing with the unethical company in the future.

Take the necessary steps to protect yourself against getting annoying calls from telemarketers on a frequent basis by doing a free online reverse phone lookup to get more information about your caller. Whether your problem gets a legal solution or not, you can make use of free user-submitted reverse phone lookup directories to warn others out there about companies with unethical practices.
