These jack***es keep calling me and they are looking for someone else entirely! I have never even had Direct TV. This is the s**t that the BBB has to look into when rating these ****s. I requested for them to take me off their calling list and it seems since then they only call more! I'm so freaking tired of these dumb*****!

(888) 245-7163
Oh my god! This is what happened....I was in class, I forgot that I didn't shut my phone off, then like 2-3 minutes before class ended, they called me! I didn't get in trouble or anything, it was just really embarrassing. Who are they and why don't they call after school hours? Does anyone think I should call them and say "Don't call during school!" haha, just kidding ;)
(888) 245-7163
I have the same problem. I just reported them to the Do Not Call Registry. Maybe if everyone does this they will ban this company from calling. here is the number you need to call. Its an automated system. (888) 382-1222.
(888) 245-7163
This company is Direct TV. I have spoken with Saul Pinedo. He says he will remove me from their automated system. I am placing a formal complaint with The Better Business Bureau. I suggest you do the same.

Been getting calls on my cell phone two & three times a day. How you get them to stop? Telemarketing companies should just be banned out of existence.
