Quote: "It’s back to school time and this week I’ve got two review coming up for you of two backpacks which I think is the quintessential school item! I think everybody, no matter how old, uses a backpack for school so today for review I’ve got the Rivacase 8160 which is a black colored laptop backpack that fits up to 16” sized laptops. Yes the bag is made for laptops but that doesn’t mean you specifically have to use it for that, you can use it for anything and I think it should last a long time as it’s very nicely made and quality bag. It’s not a huge bag by any means, but it’s large enough for books, laptops and most anything else you might need to take with you to classes. So just read on to see more about this backpack.. "

"Today for review I’ve got a backpack, the traditional back to school accessory for sure, a must have for any student no matter what grade level. The backpack is from Targus and it’s called the CityGear and it’s got a plethora of pockets big and small for everything you need for class and life. I’ve got a few backpacks for review and I’ve noticed a trend with all of them, they now have a dedicated tablet pocket, which makes sense as that’s the big thing now is for schools to be utilizing them and even giving them to students as part of the tuition package. The CityGear pack is also made for laptops and it does feature a nice large well padded section that will fit notebooks up to 15.6” in size and keep them protected while you’re going to and from classes and really just going anywhere. So read on to learn more about this bag from Targus…"

810-224-5028 Scammer

So I’ve got another scammy telemarketer calling me..  but it’s pretty much the same company as I just posted about the other day here

 

810-224-5028

Caller ID: MICHIGAN CALL

Location:
Brighton Michigan

Carrier: Mci Worldcom Communications, Inc.

Telemarketing Company: ?
Insight Teleservices
Determined Marketing

Various Reasons for calling Given:
Children’s Cancer Fund
Autism Society Fund
Children’s Leukemia Fund

These people keep calling and hanging up on my machine when it answers and I finally grabbed it and answered it on the first ring.

I told the lady we are on the do not calls lists for federal and state and she said "How am I supposed to know that?"

How is she supposed to know?  Well let’s see, this is quote straight from my state Do Not Call page: "Every telemarketer that calls consumers in Pennsylvania is required to purchase the list from the list administrator." 

Then from the federal do not call registry: "Starting January 1, 2005, telemarketers and sellers will be required to search the registry at least once every 31 days and drop from their call lists the phone numbers of consumers who have registered."

Hmm… that’s how she’s supposed to know…

We’ve been registered since the list came out, both home and my cellphone are registered.

The lady or girl or woman who answered was rude and ignorant and just downright annoying.
