I have threatened to call them back with a recorded message of my own, and do it repeatedly!
It is easy for people to say to ignore the call, but what if you run a business and get calls from people in all area codes? It is tough to google a number in less than 4 rings!
Called me at 2:50 CST. Had my name, cell number and vehicle information. Said they were from "Vehicle Processing Center". This is how the conversation went:
Caller: Hello, Is this Mr. X
Me: Yes
Caller: This is the Vehicle Processing Center calling about your 2011 BMW. How's that working out for you?
Me: You know what?
Caller: What?
Me: This is a scam call and I want you to remove me from your list.
Caller: How do you know this is a scam call?
Me: Because I just talked to BMW yesterday.
Caller: Have a nice day. "Click"
262-901-2547 keeps calling my cell about every other day. No messages left and when I tried calling it back the message was "welcome to verizon wireless, the number you have called is not a working number or no longer in service"
Must be a computer generated number, reported to the FTC
Two days ago I received ANOTHER call from 262-901-2547 stating that I had been approved for a business loan. Instead of pressing "2" to be removed from their calling list (which obviously does not work), I pressed "1" to be connected to an agent. When "Jay" answered he started his "speech." I told him I was not interested and the only reason I pressed "1" was to tell them to please remove my name. Before I could finish, he hung up on me. Sooooooo, I just received another call from this number and once again I pressed "1" and as soon as the live agent started their speech I blew a LOUDDDDDDD whistle in the phone. I keep the whistle hanging on a door knob in my house and when I get a call like this, they get an ear full. I'm not sure how the people on the other end of the phone feel, but I feel better.
I rtecieved a threatening call demanding information on what vehicles I owned and that one was due for service. Caller stated that it didn't matter that I was on the do not call list. Reported the call to Wisconsin consumer protection
