Really Annoyed at AT&T

Just as I was finishing my previous post, the phone rang. This is the third time in a week AT&T has called to offer me DSL service. This time the caller flat-out lied to me. "We've never offered this service in your area before..." "I had it before, and didn't like it." "...and we're offering a special deal."

I'm on the national Do Not Call list, but this apparently doesn't apply to "legitimate" businesses. How do I get them to stop calling, since telling them to stop isn't working?!

Seriously, I am just about ready to switch services.

Dunno how to get them to stop, but they CAN keep calling..."Prior business relationship" is one of the loopholes in the DNC list.

You could Try using the phrase "Put my number on your Do Not Call list" it might work.

Take the representative's name and employee number. Tell them to put you on the do not call list. Also tell them if AT&T calls again, you will report them to the FCC and the KY Attorney General's office. If they call again, get the person's name and employee number. Tell them you are reporting them and do so.
