Dear Sun Spots: Recently you listed a Web site for people who would like to have their name(s) removed from a magazine mailing list. I, and many people like me have a similar problem with a telemarketer by the name of Premiere Global who calls three or four times a day using the following phone number 1-732-542-3012. It rings twice and they hang up, and if you answer before the second ring, you still don’t know what they want or what they’re for, as no one is at the other end.

Is it possible for you to put an end to such annoying nonsense by finding out who could these people be, or what they want. It would be greatly appreciated, not only by me, but by many other people who have the same problem I’m having! Thank you in advance for any help you can give us on this matter. – No Name, No Town.

Answer: Special thanks to Premiere Global’s Director of Marketing Chip Plyler who researched this issue for Sun Spots. Premiere Global provides services such as on-demand conference calling, web-based notifications and computer desktop faxes to more than 60,000 businesses worldwide. He was surprised to hear that you were receiving the calls at your residence, as they do not employ telemarketers.

His first thought was that you may be on a call list for medical notifications, another service they provide. However, since there is silence on the other end, he believes that your number may be on a call list for receiving faxes. They deliver more than 18 million faxes a day for businesses, and your telephone number may have been entered in error or it possibly could be a number for a fax machine no longer in use. Without knowing your telephone number, it is hard to know exactly.

The simplest way to stop the calls is to call the number that appears on your Caller I.D. Sun Spots called and was prompted to enter the fax number we wished to have blocked. Chip noted that even though your telephone number isn’t for a fax machine, still enter your ten digit phone number. After you have done that, you will be placed on their “do not call” list and will be blocked from future calls. It will take 24 hours for the number to be processed, but after that, the calls should stop. If you have further questions or problems, don’t hesitate to call Chip at 404-262-8472 or e-mail c.plyler@premiereglobal.com. He assured us that he does not want you to continue to receive calls that aren’t intended for you.

Dear Sun Spots: The ladies of Eaton Memorial UM Church in Livermore Falls are seeking canning jars to help us replenish our stock.

If you have quart, pint or half-pint jars that you no longer need, please call me at 897-3072 to arrange pickup or you could leave them on the porch of the parsonage next door to the church. I also have a Cony High School Coniad from 1985 if anyone would like to have it. It came to us in a box of books for our last rummage sale. – Pam Newton, Jay.
