Call came at 7:32 pm 7/12/13. Tons of noise in the background. Woman with thick accent said she was from Gold Rush something. Said I wasn't interested. She said oh, not a sales call, blah, blah. I should've hung up, but said Fine, what's it about. Sarcasm wasted. She says she has to get her manager to talk to me. He comes on the line, starts telling me about an open house or something for Gold Rush, "here in unintelligible city." I tell him I can't hear him, and where is he? Same garbled name. He keeps saying "Okay? Okay?" I said NO! Stop talking to me and never call here again, never. I hung up. It felt like he wanted me to say yes, which would maybe have me agreeing to something I don't want. I'm a little concerned because they did know my name. I am on the Do Not Call list, but it didn't help. I hope I don't get this call again, but maybe I'll take the advice of a previous poster and fake 'em out with an accent of my own. Or, since I know their phone number, I could answer "Thank you for calling the office of the California Attorney General for Consumer Affairs." There is such an office! It MIGHT scare them.
I'm in LA county. I was called at 9pm on 9/6/11. The woman had a thick accent (Pakistan?) and said she was with Global Exchange. She said something about getting a trip on Carnival Cruises or American Airlines. Later she said she was actually calling on behalf of American Airlines. When I asked her for the number she was calling from, she hung up. I called back using caller ID and heard this recording repeated several times: "Your account balance is insufficient to place your call to that destination."
Called claiming to be part of american airlines in san dimas, yet when I asked about the area code, he claimed to be in the Phillipines. Could tell he's an evil crook.
