have been calling for days and won't leave a message. When they called today I pressed 1, and then cut off the lady talking and asked if they will give be credit if I am being foreclosed on (not really happening, but I might as well make entertainment out of their nuisance) she said she would have to look at my credit first. So I proceeded to tell her that I just got parolled and it might take me a while to clean it up do to my work-release only letting me out supervised to work (no shopping). She hung up, and I'm pretty sure they won't call back.
First of all, these guys don't give a rat's South 40 about the "Do Not Call" list. The "305" area code is spoofed, and the number itself is bogus.
These people have called me about 10 times or so. I've followed the path with them 3 times.
First time: Answered all their questions affirmatively. Gave bogus name, address, phone number, credit card number, etc. etc. Kept the guy busy on the phone for about half an hour trying to verify a number that didn't exist, checking with his supervisor, etc. Wasted as much of his time as I could, seeming to be very interested in their offer. It was when he asked for my security code that I unloaded on him and told him what I thought of his Credit Card Scam, and then hung up.
Second time: Asked asked why I was being called when I was on the "Do Not Call" list, the guy said he didn't know. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor who did know, and the drone said, "Certainly, I can do that," and hung up.
Third time: Pleasantly asked if I could be removed from their calling list (any legitimate company, even aggressive telemarketers are usually happy to comply in order to stay legal.) They simply hung up.
I'm pretty convinced these people are in Canada and running a pretty sophisticated boiler room fraud operation. I wish there were some way to stop them.

Got a call from this # and another Florida # as well, I am beginning to think that when I entered my phone number for the nat'l do not call list is when I started getting all these scam calls.
