IT'S ZILLOW CALLING - Again and Again and Again - ENOUGH ALREADY!

Nearly every morning my phone rings between 9:00 am and 9:15 am.

IT'S ZILLOW CALLING!!!

Zillow

Do I answer the call?

No, because I have told Zillow countless times that I do not want to buy what Zillow wants to sell.

Does Zillow stop calling?

No, Zillow does not stop calling. My message light goes on. I retrieve messages and what do I hear?

I hear noise on the other end ... most often I hear a keyboard. The caller does not even leave a message. This is annoying. I do not appreciate the calls from Zillow.

ZILLOW - PLEASE STOP CALLING!

If someone requests to be removed from a call list ... it serves no one to ignore the request.

Doing so constitutes harrassment, in my opinion!

ZILLOW, PLEASE STOP CALLING!

Kathleen - are you on the no call list? If so, that can be up to an $11.000 fine to zillow!!!! If you tell them to remove you and they don't, even if you're not on the no call list, they can be fined $6000. Check out the rules on the no call website. Trust me - I've had to threaten a few companies with it.

Kathleen,

Just truncate the call without answering it. It won't go to voice mail. :)

Juli,

The no call list is hollow. There are so many loopholes that basically anyone can call you anytime they want - Zillow included. :)

Kathleen,

Ummm.... It's tempting to be spiteful when this type of harrassement occurs. However, I encourage you to seek out the person in charge who can prevent this from happening in the future... g

Juli, Yes, I am on the do not call list. I have told Zilow I will report them. I just have not done it yet! I do agree with Steve ... reporting Zillow will likely only consume more of my energy.

Steve, I have done that too. I have so little respect for a company that ignores a request to stop calling. It's unprofessional, rude, inconsiderate ...certainly not a company I want to do business with!

Gordon, It saddens me to see that you feel this post is spiteful. I have spun so many cycles with Zillow. If you only knew. Their business tactics are shameful. Perhaps the repeated unwanted calls may also fall in the category of spiteful. All my efforts have failed me. I feel violated ... like an unwanted suitor who will not take no for an answer.

Bonnie, I get a lot of sales calls. Zillow is the only company that refuses to remove me from their call list!

Heh, Zillow called me this morning. WE can put you at the top on Google, we can get you this, we can get you that.

Me: so what are the guarantees?

Them: Uhhh, guarantee....we can't make one, but.............

Than, I have had many sales calls from Zillow. I listened to what they have to offer ... and it is simply not for me. I've asked numerous times to stop calling me and remove me from their database. It's simply rude and disrespectful to continue to call anyone who has made it clear the calls are unwanted. Thanks for your comment.
