Phone rang twice, the Caller ID showed up as 'St Louis'. Seconds later, phone rang again, this time CID said my name and my phone number. It was a robo-recording that greeted me generically, saying to press 9 to be connected to a representative to discuss 'lowering my credit card interest' rates. I pressed 9 and was connected to a man who didn't identify himself, but he had a very noticeable accent. I asked to be removed from their calling list. He asked, don't you want to lower your credit card interest rates? I said, no, take me off your calling list and then I asked how my number showed up as the one calling. He answered saying that it was by using a very advanced secure network.
I repeated to take my number and name off their calling list. He politely answered he would and "have a good day".
My speculation is that the number that called me initially, 314-828-1039 was a robo-center computer that captured my phone number and mimicked it to call me again.
Missouri has very strict 'do not call' enforcement, and I am wondering, if my theory is correct, if what they did is even legal?
