I now do not answer any out-of-state calls. Usually they wake me up, and, by the time I Google the number to see others who have complaints, I don't even listen to voicemails that are left. However, this one was not for 2 weeks in the Bahamas, or a 33% sale on fertilizer, but for reducing my credit card fees to 6%.
When I was a Chief Clerk at SHAEF in 1944 and 1945, General Eisenhower's and our telephones were for communicating.
If the perps hope to turn us off on all advertising, shall we let them succeed?
Some BS message about credit cards. Un-listened to after the first 10 seconds, then deleted.
I will be reporting this to the FCC complaint website as soon as this post is complete and I urge anyone else who gets these silly messages or actual calls to do the same.
The Do Not Call list clearly doesn't work, but by complaining to the FCC there is an actual record of your complaint and if they get enough of them, something may eventually be done about these intrusions.

I hang up as soon as I hear the first words ... Doesn't do any good. Repeat calls. Had 3 calls from the same number yesterday, and another one again this morning......
