REVENGE IS SWEET!! I got TWO calls from these idiots tonight and being on the National Do Not Call List (a lot of good that does!), I waited for a live person. The call comes across as a "wireless" number although using the Reverse Lookup link on anywho.com, it's a hard line. Anyway, when I saw the wireless info', I answered the phone. Since it was another credit card rate reduction call, I did my "heavy breather" routine. Using my "creepy voice", I answered her "did you press '1' to reduce your rates?" with, "I pressed one. What are you wearing? Are you wearing silk? I really like silk." She sputtered about wearing a "granny dress" and I asked again, "Is it silk?" The first one hung up. Several minutes later the second call came through and using my "Mr. Creepy Pervert" personna, I told this one I was watching porn and asked if she was wearing silk. For some reason she got a tad abusive. Apparently neither she nor the other liked my response. It is possible the first caller was new to the job and the second a stupid-visor. Reporting these [***] is useless due to the way they mask their numbers.
I am a Police Officer in Iowa and have gotten two calls today. Both time I asked to be put on a no call list and both times hung up on. It's true that there is little that can be done but ignore the calls or change your number. It is impossible to file charges on someone or sue them if you have no way of locating them. For all we know they could be calling from a different country which would mean extradition would be impossible.
I recieve a call from this company all the time. I finally stayed on the line to tell them to quit calling me. Before i was able to a very rude woman told me that it was a recording; she then hung up on me. I reported this to the federal Trade commission. PLEASE, PLEASE DO THE SAME! I get every indication that this is a land line and not a cell number.
I too tried to ask the name of the organization after indicating I wanted to speak to a customer service rep. The service rep hung up on me after I asked. It is sad, but there are people out there who will fall for this type of veiled threatening advertising
