Received call from an automated message--this happens a lot, I get calls for the person who previously had my phone number, so I decided to talk to a real person to make sure they weren't calling for the previous owner, and after several times of me asking, "and what company are you calling from," and not getting an answer, finally I asked the man "with whom do you think you're speaking? What name do you have on file?"...He promptly hung up, and when I tried to call the number back, it's apparently "not a working number."
Obviously someone calling from a real "card services company" would at least take the time to tell you WHO THEY ARE. Ridiculous. I really want to know who this is so I can call them and harass them, but maybe that's too much to hope for. It's just irritating they hung up on me. Oh well!
some kind of scam from credit people. don't eave a message but just keep calling. I am listed on the DO NOT CALL LIST and cannot understand how they can keep calling me on my cell phone. How do I need to get this stopped?
I don't think that's the case. These are scammers who don't give a rat's patootie about the Do Not Call list. This is particularly true of those from India and Pakistan.
