The Rodeo

Everyone has probably heard about the latest mobile phone scam going ’round. DC Marketing ring your mobile and then hang up before you answer, leaving a phone number for you to call back and then charging you exorbitant rates to listen to their phone spam.

It’s legit – I got hit with it (and hung up within about 10 seconds when I heard it was spam). My boss just got called about 10 minutes ago.

These guys are jerks, although they are technically not doing anything illegal because you have to call them back, which you can choose not to do.

Attention DC Marketing: anything you market I will not buy. Ever.

Why do advertisers feel the need to trick people into listening to their ads? If you have to trick me into hearing it, I don’t want it, and I won’t buy it. Gah!
