At my Mother-in-Law's when the call came to her house. Up until today, she did not know that I had put hers and my numbers on the National Do-Not-Call list. She also did not know that her previous time on it had expired (good for 5 years only). Anyway, call got answered because a guest thought that they recognised the number. Well, they probably did recognise the number since EVERYONE is getting these calls. I copied the number down and FILED A COMPLAINT with the National Do-Not-Call agency. I read somewhere that there have been 102 complaints so far since August 20, 2008. That's all.
Phone call from this number stated: "This is your last chance ... press one to take advantage of lower rates on your credit card" ... without identifying the company, or anything ... no option of bring removed from the list. So I chose 1, and got "Michelle", who started into her spiel ... and she asked "are you responding to the lower rates?" (when I asked what company this was), and I said "I'm responding to the phone calls that I keep getting and want to stop; please take my number off your list" ... and you know what she said -- this is a direct quote: "You have a big mouth!" (click ... she hung up on me!).
Received this call as stated above ("last chance for lower interest rates"). I pressed 1 and FIRST THING, asked her to remove me from their calling list. She hung up immediately.
I will look into reporting this to the FCC as a violation of the Do Not Call list. I believe most phone companies have a *## (like *68 or something) that can be used to report fraud. I reported one a couple years ago, and although the phone company said, "This will incur a $2 charge on your phone bill to initiate an investigation..." but I never did get charged.
