How to cut off suppliers?

I have ordered Tramadol through two or three different online pharmacies. They won't stop calling me. It has always bugged me that they call me because I ordered online. But now it's super irritating.

How can I make them stop? I'm not tempted, just want to be left alone.

Here's an interesting article about how they're supposedly cracking down on these pharmacies. By the frequency of the calls I get, I have to wonder. I know they went underground around December, but sadly it does not look permanent.

I had the same problem at one point and I told them if I received another call, I would get my lawyer involved.  It worked!

I'm pretty sure you can block a number from your cell phone.  Call your telephone providor.  The next option is to change your phone.  You probably don't want to change your number but it will be worth it.  I changed my phone number and got a new phone so I wouldn't have my suppliers callling me, and tempting me.  It has been worth it.

I still get calls even though I told them I do not want them to call me anymore and it's been about a year now.   It isn't always the same phone number, so blocking is almost impossible.   Most of the time they don't leave a message, but once in a while they do.  I know it's them when I get multiple calls from out of state numbers I don't recognize.  Even some of the numbers are routed through towns in my state, so even then???   I think this is their new way of getting around 'internet' sales by doing direct calls.

Have your friend answer and say they just got this cell number the other day and sick of getting calls for you and don't ever call again ;) Worked for me once on an unrelated matter. Lol

Wow - that is crazy that they call like that?! Another option- if you picked up a call and stayed on the line until someone removed your name from their list (at your request), do you think that would do the trick? I know that would mean talking to someone (which you may not want to do)...just throwing it out there. However, If they're so pushy and you know once you get on the phone with them they will rope you in, then it is best to just change your number or block theirs like the above posters have mentioned :)

That's terrible! Maybe they're going through the archives trying to drum up business now that they lost mine! Sorry, bad joke. We need to figure out how to solve this. I know with solicitors if you're on the do not call list they cannot bother you. But if they have a "relationship" with you due to past business, they can. But after five years??? That seems like it should be reclassified as a cold call, it's such an ancient "relationship".

Find out from your telephone company how to block them or change your number. You may not be tempted now but one day you might be. Best to get all obstacles out of the way.
