[Ct-nfb] Google beta testing, important, please read

[Anne West]

I am not a very happy person and I'm downright angry. You might remember
that a survey, or maybe I should say an application circulated to beta test
Google products. I filled out the form and now regret it.

 

I have been receiving phone calls from 860-200 numbers. There are many and
they come in at least 3 times a day. I answered one and it was Medical Alert
Systems. I don't want any part of that.

 

My companion, Hope, has a client who filled out the same form as me. Hope
Googled Sprint, Lt. which is the company from which the calls come. It is a
telemarketing agency in Hartford. Hopes client actually talked to people
from 2 of the numbers. Each number represents a different company such as
Medical Alert, hearing aid companies and so on. Apparently, Google sold or
gave info from the beta testing products form to Sprint, Lt. for
telemarketing even though the form stated nothing would be given out. Lie!

 

Frontier Communications allows a small number of phone numbers to be blocked
if one has the service. I've blocked 7 of the 860-200 numbers. I will not
answer any more of them and will block as many as I can.

 

I will never do anything like that again. I should have known better.
Hopefully the calls will stop soon and given the chance, I'll let Google
know what I think of their practices. If they contact me about beta testing,
I will tell them to pound sand in a not so nice way.

 

Enjoy this wonderful weather and have a nice weekend. A few prayers for
people in Texas won't hurt.
