“if you are NOT …so & so….please hang up”
ERS Collections from Renton, Wa., calling for ATT, has this awful auto dialed telephone recording that calls your house late in the evening with the message that goes something like this- "This is an important message for ...so & so.... if you are NOT...so & so...please hang up. If you ARE ...so & so...please be advised that this is an effort to collect a debt..................yada, yada, yada" What self respecting kid, friend, housekeeper or, heaven forbid, in-law, can answer this call and exude the discipline to hangup and not listen to this once in a lifetime message in its entirety, even knowing that they are being berated on behalf of some dead beat debtor, who is only now discovered to be there husband, wife, friend, father, mother, employer or in-law. . I really thought these kind of tactics were illegal. But, I guess not!
