Mike Sexton from Party calling...

[Shoe]

They called me about every 15-20 minutes while i was at work today. The number on caller id was 0000000000, and they would not leave a message. I didn't answer it because i don't pick up numbers i don't know, and usually don't answer my phone at work. However, after being called non stop for about 3 hours straight, i picked it up to hear Mike sexton's lovely voice informining of the crappy bonus i already found i had waiting for me the night before. This was absolutely ridiculous.

If i don't answer my phone, maybe try back in the evening, but repeeating every 10 - 30 minutes at random? I hope they never call me again with a damn promotion, email away but don't freaking call me unless it's a security issue.

What the hell, you dance with the man on the cruise and now you are avoiding his phone calls? Did he not give you a reach around or something?

I sent them an email about how irritating this was.

Then I called them to tell them that I sent them an email.

same here... very annoyed... it rang twice while I was in a meeting and didnt leave a message so I thought it was something important... when they called a 3rd time I interrupted the meeting to take the call.

I don't need a phone call to remind me that I got an email [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I got the call too but it was no real bother. The interesting part is that they obscured their tel # from caller ID. I understand that PP is not subject to the US telemarketing laws but Mike Sexton might not be too happy to find he was a part of an illegal telemarketing call.

Just thinking out loud, next time I run into to him at a tourney I think I'll mention this to him. I would be interested to hear from anyone who knows him well enough to querry him on this subject in person, it might be several months before I run into him.

If I get close to this via my normal play there (via satellites and other tourneys and maybe some occasional raked-hands) then I'll be a bit more likely to perhaps go out of my way to finish it off.

I think that's the whole idea behind this. They're not trying to give you incentive to bonus whore, they're just trying to give you something extra for your "regular" play.

[Recliner]

Hm... regular play huh? I got an offer for $250 for 3100 points, so that if I play NL it works out to be a 62x bonus. WOW THANKS PARTY! I thought the multi bonuses were bad.

I'm assuming that party is trying to lose as many players as fast as possible?

[newhizzle]

yeah, he left me a message, i dont think i gave them my cell phone number, but i guess i did

If you have an existing business relationship with a company, they are allowed to call you.

Having said that, this is damn annoying. Making one call, ok, thats pretty standard. I had 7 missed calls while I was sleeping from the same number. What kind of rediculous marketing crap is this? Don't they realize what kind of response they are going to get if they call over and over?

mine was only 545 for $40 and that bastard called me 4 times
