Default New Polaris = SPAM??

I bought a new Polaris last September. I strted getting phone calls about signing up for an ATV Rider Safety Course within a week of getting it. I told them no figuring I would not hear back. Was I wrong! I get phone calls almost every day from Motorcycle Safety (on caller ID). Obviously a Telemarketer at work, but my God, when will they give up??
Polaris needs to tell these people to knock it off as it is driving me nuts. I have told them no numerous times, but they keep calling. Does anybody else have this problem?

That's telemarketing. Spam comes in your email.
I never received any calls but Polaris did give us credit ($150ish?) to take a class.

Nope, never had a call from them. Could be that when I bought my ATV and the dealer asked me, I told them that I wasn't interested in this class.

You need to put your number on the "no call list". We are on the no call list and very very seldom do we get a call like that and when we do we answer the phone and tell them not to call again because we're on the list. They can get in trouble for calling again!

I too was promised $100 for each my wife and I to take the course. There have been no calls since January when I picked up the machine and now. I do have to check when they are having a class near by so I can get my $$

Took the class when I bought my kawi new. Dealer asked if I wanted 100 bucks, and I did. Called the number and took the class. Never got any calls before or after from them.

My son took that class when we bought his kfx90, but since he was 11 and the age limit on the 90 is 12 and older, They wouldnt send us the check. :/
