Apparently you do not know the law. Telemarketers and collectors are NOT allowed to call cell phones. Once they are told to stop calling and they keep calling then it is a $1,000 fine after that. I'm in the middle of a lawsuit now suing jerks like you who blow up not only my cell phone but my 4 minor children's cell phones. When you get phone calls NON STOP ALL DAY LONG EVERY SINGLE DAY it gets old after awhile.
So do the world a favor a go crawl in a hole and die.
This New York # has called me so far 3 times today 10:07am, 10:56am, and 12:20pm. I never answer calls from #s I don't know because I have fallen victim to one of these scams before.
I learned my lesson & now look for threads like this before I do anything! Auto reject now!!
Just like 'George' above, I got the recorded message on my cell that said "This is your credit card company and we've been trying to reach you about lowering your interest rate. Push 1 to speak with a consultant or press 2 and your offer will expire".
I pressed 2 assuming this would put me on their do-not-call list, instead it connected me with a man with an Indian sounding accent. I told him to take me off their list immediately and he said "whoa, slow down, who do you think you are?, you're not my father and can't talk to me like that". To which I replied that they had already called me once and I had asked to be taken off their list and this was the second time and to immediately remove me from their list or I'll report them. He said "I don't care about your list and there's nothing you can do about it." I hung up on him.
