These people called my elderly parents house looking for me. I'm sure it was a telemarketer but they have no right to be calling my parents house. They are close to 90 years old and don't need to be bothered.
Called my home phone several times in the past few days. Never home when they have called, and they never leave a message. Today, not only was I home, but I was on another call at the time of their interruption. I placed the call I was on at the time on "hold", just to answer the call and see who it was and what they wanted. A man asked for me, by name. I asked him who he was and he only gave me the name of the company he was referencing to me. The name of the company was SEARS. I have a store card, and a MC with that company. I told him he had the wrong number, then I looked "online" at my two accounts, only to find that my accounts are BOTH in pristine condition, and with a ZERO balance. How do these people get through, when I have a "NO SOLICITATION" on my phone!
Knew my name said they got it from my doctor. Some crap about my medical condition, left them hanging and they hung up. Bad call quality, annoying delay, Indian accent, I prefer to be annoyed by American workers.
this is a credit card scam - period
could be simply stealing card information from caller who wants to get a better credit card rate
you can never get off the list
calling to remove yourself will not work
best way is to program your phone to reject all calls from this and or other #'s
being on the "no call list" does not work
we need the government information agencies to investigate - shut down and prosecute.
very bad stuff - these guys need to be in jail yesterday.
