DirecTV calls people on the “do not call list” to remind them they’re on the list! What the f..k?!

Two articles from the Consumerist showing what a prick of a company DirecTV really is:

My phone just rang. Caller ID reads: Out Of Area… do I pick up? I did.

It was an automated DirecTv call. “You have asked us not to call you. Because you are on our Do Not Call List, we can’t call you with all of our super-awesome special promotions…” The recording goes on to ask me to hit a button to opt-out of their Do Not Call List.

Dear sir. I say what the fuck? I specifically told them not to call so they call to see if its okay to call.

DirecTV is defending automated sales calls to Do Not Call List subscribers as “informational,” and “not telemarketing.” The satellite TV provider recently called customers to say: “Because you are on our Do Not Call List, we can’t call you with all of our super-awesome special promotions.”

“The purpose of our calls was not to sell you anything or change your do-not-call status without your consent. They were purely informational calls intended to remind you of your status and give you an opportunity to change your do-not-call preference.”
