<p>Wondering if this has happened to anyone else. DD is a rising sophomore. Today we received a call from a place selling cd/online sat study materials. They claimed that she had checked a box somewhere expressing an interest in such materials. She swears she never checked any boxes (which seems likely after I ranted about the number of calls we received the past 2 years for DS). I think it's outrageous for them to try to claim she asked for info if she never did, and if previous experience is any guide they'll call unceasingly for the next 2 years. How best to get them off my back?</p>
<p>Do Not Call registry, combined with asking that specific company to cease calling you. Then if they call you after you’ve registered, you can file a complaint with DoNotCall.</p>
<p>I’m on the do not call, but still get these. I’m not sure how they are getting around it by saying “your child checked a box requesting” this. I’ve gotten them for both my kids, the youngest has not yet taken the PSAT, etc. I just say - no they didn’t and hang up. My son would never have requested any study materials, and my daughter has never had the opportunity to check that. Last time they called for S I told them he is all done with his testing and they said they would take him off the list - we’ll see!</p>
<p>I think it’s cause your name is sylvan. ;)</p>
<p>I had this problem too. About half a dozen calls from a company claiming D had signed up for a free trial at a college fair. She had not, and in fact had never been to a college fair. It took a fair amount of threatening to get them to take us off the list. And yes, we are already on the do not call list.</p>
