It's obviously a scam because I don't have a credit card. These people really need to get a life. Why don't they use the effort they now use in conducting this insidious scam doing something constructive? How pathetic to go through life not having anything valuable to contribute.
Reporting these types of things to the FCC or FTC is an utter and complete waste of time. I have personally filed over 65 FCC complaints in the last year and have received the same canned letter back from them stating that "they have investigated the matter and do not find enough facts to find any violation occurred." I am on both the federal and state do-not-call lists so how can this not be a violation? The FCC and FCC are like a lot of government programs whose only purpose is to just use our tax dollars to fund non-value added jobs. They should be eliminated completely because they do absolutely nothing for the public. Sorry but that's just the truth. There's no way to get these slimy bottom-feeding telemarketing companies to stop calling you and they know it. The only way is to disconnect your phone line completely then the big phone companies like Verizon and AT&T will start losing enough business to warrant taking action themselves. You've got to hit them where it hurts - their bottom line! Good luck!
It is clear that none of the State or Federal agencies are going to doing anything about unsolicited phone calls. I have thrown up my hands! The following message has been placed on my answering machine: (yes, I still have a landline) "You have reached XXX-XXX-XXXX. If you are calling from a telemarketing firm, survey firm, or attempting to sell a good or service, your call will never be answered. If you are someone who I know or have business with, please identify yourself after the tone, I will return your call". Oddly, I've had this recording for about three months, and while I still get calls, the volume seems to be falling.
My call was not a recording. A woman asked if I was a customer of a company which I have never heard of. Then another company name was mentioned and I have not heard of that one. I was at work and the call was ended quickly because I had no helpful information. The caller did not inquire any further and we ended the call. Is this a scam and some company wanting information?
