At least they don’t call me anymore. What you have to do is call a customer service rep, have them take you off the list. Unfortunately their telemarketing system does apply this to their current calling campaign. You must answer one of their calls, tolerate the stupid fat bitch that can barely speak english on the other side and refuse whatever they were selling. Then they apparently stop calling you. If you don’t call a rep to be taken off the list BEFORE answering one of their sales calls and refusing, you may be called again for one more telemarketing campaign before your removal request will take effect in their automated dialing system. If you don’t answer any of their calls, even if you call customer service to be taken off the list, they will keep calling you, as much as 6-8 attempts per day (Their dialer apparently does not implement a 1-day delay for ‘NA’ or ‘no answer’ like DialAmerica did when I worked there) until you do answer and listen to their incompetent solicitation at least once. Not even my mother tries to call more than 4-6 times per day!!

The table below has all the search phrases incoming to my blog in the past month, limiting to phrases occurring 5 or more times. Most of my blog’s traffic are people looking for the number that comes up on their caller ID when Dish Network nags them with their sorry attempts to sell premium movie channel packages!! The dupes are from different localized search sites such as google.com, google.ca or google.il

btw, as in my post a few months earlier, calling that 866-668-8047 number that comes up on your caller ID goes directly to a customer service rep, bypassing the automated system and any hold queue!! They STILL haven’t fixed that exploit!!! I wonder how easy it is to hack Dish Network’s online database?? Things like getting passwords that may be used on other sites, credit cards for fraud, contact info for spamming. SQL Injection (no stored procedure use or parameter filtering) and PHP code injection (parameterized include files, not filtered for cross-server urls) heaven!!
