They leave an electronic message saying this call is for "ex husband" - if you don't pick up the phone i will assume i have the correct number.....(hello???i'm not home - you just left a message on my answering machine)
The call was a machine telling me to press 1 to speak with someone on how to lower my credit card interest rate . So I did just to get my number off there list . But the man was very rude and hung up on me . When you dial the number back it comes up that it is out of service .
just got that call, pick up to hear a recording that says something like "don't be alarmed but this is your last chance". I have gotten a "last chance" call for months. I pressed one to speak to someone to tell them not to call, but since I've done this before in an angry way, i decided to try something different, based on advice I've gotten on other sites. I just start talking in a baby voice and every now and then sing a little burbly song. Eventually he hangs up and i feel happy, not angry! I've heard that eventually they stop calling if you keep doing this.
PS I also called the number back and it says disconnected. That alone should tell everyone this is a scam.
who is selling our residential numbers? after i have gone to the trouble of having an unlisted number, i still get these inane callers!!!- why do we have to pay extra money in order to not be harassed by these [***]?
