Chris, thank you for your reply. I appreciate seeing companies step up to the plate like this – and that is partly what this site is about. It is a shame that people are forgetting that when they hire third party contractors they are putting their good name in their hands. And especially where students are involved it is up to the big companies to demonstrate the correct (both legal and ethical) ways to go about these projects.

I work for Doritos and wanted to reach out to you and apologize for this. Whenever we send out communications like this, we try to include an opt-out function and, unfortunately, the third-party we worked with on this promotion forgot to include it. We are taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again and all future communication will have an “unsubscribe” option.

Please know we truly were just trying to get the word out about the contest to aspiring filmmakers and students looking for an opportunity to showcase their creativity, but we definitely understand and appreciate your frustration. Again, we apologize for the mistake and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

I’ll give an an even bigger problem with Lifeguard. They took all my information, even made a letter that would go out to my creditors and then never made any attempt ta getting an settlement. My creditors, not calling before Lifeguard, begin to call. I follow up. One of the numbers I have for them is “no longer in service”. WHEN I get someone I am told that my advisor was no longer with Lifeguard and they had not planned on contacting me in any form or fashion!!!!!!!!! I was furious. What is worse is the fact that they had begun to draw money from my bank account in auto drafts without any settlements made with anyone!!!!!!!!! Now I have to try and get the money back and cancel the contract. I don’t know how successful I will be. I usually don’t cuss, but your evaluation of Lifeguard is correct. I’d like to know if anyone else has had this experience? Moral support in this situation is better than nothing. At this point, I am way in the hole. Furious.

and don’t get a geek orgasm over my typing error with “though” when it should be “thought” – spell check wouldn’t have caught that. Geek.

Hey Jeff “admin” Nothelfer,

I bet the manager though you were wasting his time b/c you were, hence your “long drawn phone call at a time” comment at the bottom, which I’m guessing means drawn out phone call. Also, what is “you are the one one the phone call.” ??? Here’s an idea of how to change the world: use spell check you idiot. Game set match goes to Diesel (yeah, I just referred to myself in third person, that’s how awesome I am)

But I did try. I tried several times! And no the law doesn’t dictate that you can SPAM when the product is targeted at an institution. You don’t really get this do you – the point is that since I can’t get off his list – since he doesn’t have one – the best I can do is call him an asshole on the Internet. It might make him or his company revisit their business practices.

I understand auto-dialer. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. And I did talk to a manager who thought I was wasting his time! The point here is that there has to be some responsibility – you can’t blame the phone when you are the one one the phone call. Its a horrible job. I believe we can change the world one long drawn phone call at a time.

I get there should have been an opt out the first time, but since there wasn’t and you did nothing about it, there would be no way of stopping him from doing it again, right? What specifically does the law state? Is it different b/c it’s not a consumer based product? My apologies, I’m not familiar with the specific rules is all

Hey Jeff Nothelfer,

First of all, don’t try to make a fake name, everyone knows you are simply the admin. Telemarketers don’t call me at all. If they DID call me three times in one hour, I wouldn’t like it, you are right. But I wouldn’t fuck with them, and I’d be polite with the manager so that I wouldn’t get calls down the road. Also, what part about AUTOMATIC DIALER don’t you understand? Those people are sitting there with phones saying “hmmm, I think I’ll dial his number just one more time, that will really piss him off” – and you think I’m the dip shit? Last, you typed “lol” – that is proof that you are the dip shit, dip shit.
