Robo/Auto Dialer - Too Automated

[Nicole H.]

I have received, from a combination of numbers, robo dialer calls from people claiming that they have driven by my properties and would love to talk about doing a deal. I also receive text messages to this effect.

My problem is returning contact. When I am interested in doing a potential deal, I typically text back, asking for credentials, website, or link to a portfolio of work from their company. Unfortunately, I only get back robo calls and text messages with the same introductory robot greeting. This is frustrating - I end up blocking all their calls and messages.

For those of you that use these services: do you have any way of filtering through responses and actually calling people back? Or does it all have to go through the robot system?  If you are not a scammer, is there a way that I can contact you back that will ensure that I talk to a person and not the a template recording?

Until I receive better return contact, I will continue to look for deals the old fashioned way and will continue to report robo-dialers as SPAM to my provider and have their numbers blocked.
