theres this guy from the marines who keeps calling my house, asking for my brother. my brother, me, and my mom have told this guy that he's not interested in joining the marines. that hes going to college, but the guy just says, "oh really what college, and what is he doing after?"
but then he just calls a few hours later!!!
today he called twice. in the morning i said my brother wasnt home, then in the afternoon i said hes not interested and stuff like that.
but tomorrow or the day after, he's probably gonna call again.
how can i get him to stop calling our house, besides caller ID.

He is harassing you. If you told him to stop calling and he hasnt then call the police and report it as harassment. It is against the law for him to use the phone to harass you.

If this guy is a recruiter, then perhaps you can tell him that you will talk to his supervisor if he does not stop calling. I would also tell him that , if he is an example of what the Marines produce, I would not want my brother to be a part of it!!
You can tell him that you will report him to the police for harassment ( that is what it is, if you have told him mot to call and he still does)
Also, get his name and work address and mail him a letter stating that you do not want him to call again. Mail it by registered mail and request a receipt. That way you have proof that it was received.
Good luck!! It seems that recruiters are so desperate to meet their quotas that they will do anything!

This has become a family irritant. You may want to tell them that your brother no longer lives there and you are not his Secretary. Get his full name and his superiors name and a phone number to reach his superiors. Let him know that you no longer want him to call your house. Let him know that you will contact his superiors in the event the calls don't cease. You can also change your phone #. Good luck.

Have you actually talked to the guy? Just tell him you were curious and aren't looking to join and that you'll call him if you change your mind. He won't stop calling until you actually tell him to stop calling.

Advise him that you appreciate his call, but you are not interested and to take your number off of his list and to please stop calling. Advise him if he does not stop that you will file a harassment charge with the local police and with the Military police against him and his superior. This should solve your problem.
Just be prepared to follow through with it if he continues to call.

Recruiters are so damn pushy, I had the same problem there was this military guy who wanted me to join the Marines, and I said "hell no" but he still called.
You need to tell them personally to stop calling becuase you arent interested in selling your soul to the government. Yell at them if they keep calling.

He has a superior, do you know which recruitment office he belongs to? If you do then tell his superior that if he still calls you will call the police and they will make him stop, this is harassment and it is illegal even if it is the marines.

It doesn't matter what you or your mom tells him. Your brother needs to talk to the guy and tell him that he doesn't want to join. There is a shortage in all our armed forces. I am surprised that the army and navy aren't calling him as well. If he is continuing to be persistent in calling him, maybe it is a mandatory thing and your brother has been drafted. In that case, they need to speak to your brother to convey the orders and they will not stop calling until they talk to him.

Tell him the next time he calls that one more call and your family will press charges for harassment. If he persists, have your mother press charges. Enough is enough.
