They have called me continuously asking about a car loan. I have told them that I have not applied for a loan and I am not interested for them to stop calling. One person asked me "then how did we get your social and your date of birth" I said I don't know because I sure have not given that info to anyone. They will not stop calling. What can I do to make them stop.
These are scammers living in some foreign country. There are few legal consequences, and very little you can do to stop these callers: even on a do not call list, or blocking numbers. While there are a lot of tricks that you can use to aggravate them (whistles, loud noises, asking them a thousand questions etc.) these actions will only make you feel better. Do not answer the phone if you do not recognize the number. If it is important they will leave a message. I got an answering machine at Goodwill for $3.00 and it has served well. Get an emergency cell and do not give out the number to anyone but close friends, family etc. I have a tracphone for that purpose: emergencies. I am still working off an initial investment of 20 dollars airtime after six months.
I have had a huge rash of these calls lately as well. They don't even need to know your number: they just dial a set of numbers in a block of numbers--that is why few things work. They spoof real numbers to avoid detection. Good luck.
These ppl just called me at work 5 times in a row saying something about a loan...very heavy accent and very annoying. When I asked them to please take me off the call list he asked to speak with my supervisor. I quickly told him where to go and hung up. He called back I just picked up and hung up...no calls since.
