"The Loan Department"

pecuniumIn the past week I've gotten a couple of calls from, "the loan department" informing me that I was eligible for a 1 percent, no money down, re-finance on my home.
It almost goes without saying I didn't believe them. Not only is the offer ridiculous, on its face, but I don't own a home.
What really irked me is that it was on my cell-phone, and from blocked numbers. When they called the house yesterday (on the land-line) I waited through the pitch (because "Dorothy" was a recording, since it wasn't using my minutes to hear the pitch, and told the person who picked up to never call us again.
Today my cell went off again, so I waited, and when the guy said, "the loan dept," I asked him what company this was the loan department of, and he said that was the company, and asked why I wanted to know.
When I said it was because I wanted to know why they were spamming my cell phone, he hung up.
So my best guess is that it's The Loan Department.com, but I don't know.
What I do know is there must be someone I can complain to, and I am sure one of you can probably tell me. Because I know they are counting on people just ignoring it, and hanging up in annoyance, but I get work related calls from unavailable numbers, so I have to answer them.
And it pisses me off to have someone call me with a recording.

Musubi Dojo has started beginners to Aikido in many different ways over the years from the tradition “just jump in and do it” approach to the current offering of a mandatory class for beginners.
Our intro class is for adults (13+) and lasts for two months. An 8 week curriculum has been established for this course which is taught by three of Musubi Dojo’s blackbelts. The classtimes are M/W/F 5:45-6:45pm and each lesson is repeated throughout one week. So, in a week’s time three instructors teach the lesson for that week so that there is offered a repetition with a variety of persepective.
Each class begins by a little misogi practice, a bow in and then some stretching to soften the body and prepare it for activity. Each week the classes will focus on an Aikido concept (like musubi, misogi, Mushin, Zanshin, Aiki and so forth) and a classical technique which students will practice together. So we offer an appropriate workout with an introduction to the art’s underlying principles. Ukemi skills are introduced in this introductory course. We view our introductory students as aiki ambassadors and our number one concern is with safety at all times.
Note: See our home page for the list of Intro dates for the year. If these times do not work out, with permission from the instructor, students may begin their aikido training in the morning or noon classes where the student population is smaller.
