New-Fields - the story continues

Less than a month ago, I posted an item entitled New-Fields - How not to impress your cold call targets. It told the story of someone who called my direct work number and then proceeded to ask for ANOTHER worker. She was pushing an Iraq conference, and I told her I wasn't interested. A few minutes later, she called the person in the cubicle next to me.

That was a few weeks ago. To this day, my cubicle neighbor and I have continued to receive telephone calls and e-mails inviting us to this conference that we do not want to attend.

Here's what has happened over the last few days.

Some time last week I received yet another call from New-Fields, and specifically included the words "place me on your do not call list" in my response.

On Friday afternoon, I received this e-mail from New-Fields:

Last week I requested that you place me on your do-not-call list. Please do not call or contact me again regarding this conference.

So guess what was in my e-mail on Tuesday morning?

Last week I requested that you place me on your do-not-call list, and yesterday morning I requested that you not call or contact me again regarding this conference.

Again I implore you - please do not call or contact me again regarding this conference, or any other conference sponsored by new-fields.net. Any further contact from new-fields.net will be considered harassment and will be reported accordingly.

I don't know if New-Fields pays their solicitors by the call, or what's going on, but if someone indicates several times that he/she does NOT want to attend your conference, the person probably doesn't want to attend your conference.
