Got a call from 212-250-3529 @4:12pm 27 Aug 14 and it was a hang up/no message call and yes I know its been 10 days since I received this call, but it has been 10 days since I have received any robo/spam call for I have been reporting them to the FCC form 1088B when I get two of them from the same number. Maybe the FCC has gotten off their butts and started doing something about this. And rest assured I will report all unwanted phone call from these scammers every time here and to the FCC. Maybe the FCC started fining the phone companys that provided the numbers, VOiP service. One can only hope that this fraud will be stop soon, so everyone start filling out to 1088B at the FCC with the date and time of the pest call then we all might get some peace and quite.
The calls continue because people keep falling for them, especially seniors. Please warn them.
Folks, telemarketing scams are the new email spams. They are not going to stop and they will call from a variety of numbers.l and use a variety of scams. Blocking the numbers are completely useless, the criminals will use another number tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. Speaking to them is a no-no! They are criminals. Criminals do not care. So do not press any buttons to be taken off their list. Just recognize the call and don't pick up and report the call.
The caller ID is always a dead giveaway that the caller on the other end is a scammer. If the number is out of your calling area, that is your first sign. It will never ever be a legitimate 1800 number. It is always an unsuspecting caller calling from an unknown number. Caller ID is generally wireless caller or Unknown caller or unknown name-or some other random unsuspecting caller ID that you didn't request or have done business with. And more than likely it is a recording which is illegal. Any telemarketing call that you personally didn't request is illegal. Criminals don't care. So be smart folks.
Know the signs!!! Once you get a scam call you will get many many many many more. Just ignore the calls and report them to the appropriate authorities. Please report. Also, and more importantly, please warn others, especially the elderly and the gullible!
The criminals are looking for personal information and credit cards. There is no service, no reward, no company, no free device, lowering of credit card rate, computer fix, and etc. Nothing but theft. Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Please repeat. Especially do not provide information over the phone to callers that call you!
Be smart folks, know the signs, do not provide personal information over the phone, warn others, ignore the calls, and report!!!
Got call from 305-368-8375 at 11:58 am, 25 Aug 14, to press 9 to talk to agent to lower my interest on cr card to 6%. A man with rough English was told by me that I have NO credit card debt, which I don't, and that I knew he was a scam bag trying to get my cr card nr, which was never going to happen and for him to never call again! I called him an Un Christian name who was being reported to FTC. THIS IS ABOUT THE 10TH CALLED FROM them. I get at least 3 to 5 calls daily from different scammers and it is interrupting my whole LIFE HELP. You need to put SCAM on types of calls. It's not a telemarker. I don't know what S MS is?
