When the screen pops up, there's a section to click "do not telemarket" or "do not call", so when they ask for your number, give it to them, but ask that they click the do not call button.

I can only assume that some other Payless customer gave out a random number which happened to be mine. Companies need to respect your digital privacy in this "Information Age". The companies that can not do that will find people like you and me who will go out of our way to not do business with them ever again. We not only have a right to complain when companies take advantage of us, but I feel it is my obligation to share with others to stop these corporate evils. Especially when we have our own web pages that get indexed by search engines. :) Cheers It’s been a while since you posted this, but I just received the same phone call and found this page in my search for other people to complain with. :)

I urge you to try to buy some privatized health insurance and use a Biblical motif to make sense of corporate greed. Also, buddy, if you think large corporations care about you, think again.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves." -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 The world has it's own set of standards, Christians have Christ's.

Be thankful for the blessing we enjoy in this part of the world. It's a simple phone call. You can screen your calls, so just don't answer. Wow Travis, all I can think to say is, lighten up!
