[gaputernut]

Hey....anyone out there getting stupid sales phone calles from Oasis casino????
Anouncing a stupid 30% bonus...ahhhh
I got 2 today, one to my cell phone number...which I NEVER give to casinos.

It's a recorded message....but their 800# came up on my caller ID...I called and told them to take my numbers off their list NOW!!! she said she would..we shall see

Never even played there........errrr.

Anyone else??

I got one too and I've never played there either. I'd really like to know who sold me out. Thinking about filing a complaint with www.donotcall.gov but they probably get around this since they're not in the US.

I sort of doubt they can get around it, as the person they're trying to sell to is in the USA. I also believe it's illegal for telemarketers to call anyone on their cell phone. If ya'll have never signed up for the casino in question, that definately classifies them as a telemarketer in this situation.


Either way, I bet the FTC would be interested in hearing about this

edit:

Interesting article regarding telemarketers and cell phones:

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/04/dnc.htm

Telemarketing to cell phone numbers has always been illegal in most cases and will continue to be so.
