Telemarketing calls!

[macemc12]

Anyone else getting telemarketer calls from WA about selling their DVC timeshare? We are on the "do not call" list and I have not given out my home phone # so I am not sure how my info is out there. Does Disney give our info out? I really hope not!

DVC does not give out your information. These are solicitation calls from other companies.

Ok. I am curious as to how they have identified me as a timeshare owner however. I don't give out my home phone #, just my cell.

The deeds are a matter of public record.

Ahh, got it. What is the point of the " do not call" list. Lol!! So frustrating!

I've been getting a few of those calls lately myself here in Chicago. Not only timeshare sales, but different services such as new heating/ac services, lol. I think the economy draws more of this out. I was on the do not call, also, and like you it seems to have lost its "punch".

I get many of those "sell your timeshare" calls too. I am on the " do not call list" but lately that is not working!

A while back I saw on the news that the do not call list was expiring. I think it lasted 5or 7 years? Anyway, there is a new list to sign up on that will never expire. I forget the website, but I found it by googling

Thanks all! I will look up that new website to add myself. Reminds me of one of my favorite Seinfeld quotes! Lol

We used to get them, but we haven't in about a month. The last time someone called, DH said "Do you work for Disney?" When the person said "No", he said, "Well then, why would I want to talk to you?" and hung up. Maybe we're on a "do not call them" list among the telemarketers now
