I got a call from 203-538-0959 and when I told the woman I was on the do not call list and for her to take my name off her call list immediately, she responded: "[***] you!"
Why are cops busy menacing pot smokers and can't reach out and jail these people? Is it the cop pay off?
Yeah, when we were going to "alarm" the alarm company, we also found this number on our machine. Man, I love that caller ID and reverse lookup. We get at least 1 call every day or two from the "rates and payments". I never answer the phone unless I recognize the caller and I delete the message almost as soon as I hear rates.....
They called again today. It seems like we get four or five calls like this every day from 9 am to 9 pm. For fun, I decided to press 1 to talk to a representative. If I have the time, I like to waste their time as much as possible. The woman was well spoken and stuck to her script. If I had to guess, I'd say she had a mid atlantic accent. It took her about 30 seconds to realize I wasn't a sucker and she hung up on me when I asked if she was calling from my credit card bank. I sounded interested so I imagine they assess the risk of the sucker on the other end of the line and just nuke the call if you don't sound extremely gullible. Any reasonable question will probably lead to termination of the call. I so wish I could get the home phone numbers or email addresses of these vermin. It would be great sport
This is the third call I've gotten today from three different numbers--the scammers must be rotating the caller ID they're using. I just blocked this one, like I did the other two. I have this happen every now and then--every couple of weeks they call for a couple of days, I block each one as they come in, then it stops for a couple of weeks and starts over again--multiple times a day for a couple of days. I guess I need to start keeping a spreadsheet so I can spot the pattern and figure a way to just send everything to voice mail some days of the month.
I totally agree with you. I started a "book" about a year ago and have recorded numbers monthly. as they get to 30 which my phone can block, I delete the earliest numbers who have not repeated. I leave 5 spaces empty for new numbers. Today I got this call and the phone happened to be right next to me I picked it up and disconnected immediately. Any calls dealing with anything financial the do not call registry does not work. I contacted the Consumer Financial protection Agency (CFPA.gov) I filed a complaint on line and they have to answer it to the Agency. Only a legit company will reply. The others ignore it. By the way, I have over 500 numbers in a little over a year, I kid you not!
