They continue to call me nearly every day. But I have a blocker so I can see they called but my phone never rings. Nice. Yes, I can sleep when I'm tired or sick. I can almost predict the time a call will come...they are all around 2 PM CST.
I have a good friend who gets these types of calls everyday. She has more robo calls than I. When she doesn't recognize the number, she answers with "What the **** do you want?" Does she really say that? Yep she does. Sometimes there's a live person on the other end w/o her having to push a button. It's hilarious. She's raunchy that way. This is not a tactic I would use but it works for her as the scammers hang up, gulping, having never said a word. It doesn't stop the calls though. Nothing does.
I don't suggest this for anyone. I just thought I'd share her methods. She loves one-upping them. What I'm getting at is do what works for you. Don't let them mess you up. Take a stand and do what you can.
Please remember, the DNC list has no affect on the majority of these calls as they originate from foreign countries.
The ***** SCAM ***** "Credit Card Services" are personal information thieves almost certainly based offshore, so they couldn't care less about do-not-call lists or any laws anywhere. They change their spoofed phone number(s) frequently. They've even called me from MY phone number! No good will ever come from any sort of contact or attempted contact with them. Reporting them is a waste of time. Just ignore or block as best you can, and tell your friends. If their scam keeps working at all, they'll keep calling. You might think that they'd eventually give up calling an unproductive number, but you'd think wrong. In the last 8 yrs, they've probably called me 2,000 times.
