Calls from these jerks come at least once a day.....telling me it's my "last chance" to lower credit card rates. If these morons came knocking at the door every day, they could be arrested for trespassing and/or harassment. Why can they get away with doing it by phone???
Rachel from credit card services recording.....You are caller #81....Hold......Now you are caller #78..Hold...........And so on...........Omg, you can't even tell them off!! If your phone number is registered with do not call . Gov .......Please please please..........Every single time these people call with their multitude of phone numbers ..........Go to do not call and submit a complaint....Please! Maybe if enough people keep filing complaints, the gov will try to do something about these pests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They call me every 3 days. Asking them to remove me from their call list has not helped. It's so frustrating that this company can call me several times a week even though I have asked them to stop calling. What are our options as ordinary citizens?
Modern technology has given telespammers the tools to call you.
Lawbreaking telescammers ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The most effective thing to do is to get a call blocking device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information. There are available apps (some free) for smart phones, and services and devices for landlines.
If you cannot use or afford such a tool, then:
• Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service. Telespammers usually hang up after 3 or 4 rings.
• Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number, and make it more valuable to more spam groups! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete. If the incoming call was important, they would have left a message!
• If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scam" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group. (This also works for smartphones). The spammer will usually hang up before the phone goes to voicemail.
• Another option, for cell phones: Assign a "silent ringtone" as DEFAULT. Then, assign your favorite ringtones to all known friends / family / business numbers. That way, you will hear rings ONLY from those you wish to contact! You will not hear scammers' rings, even if they change their number! (This is also called "whitelisting", and will cause you to miss calls from non-whitelisted numbers).
If you want to report potential fraudulent or scam calls, here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA were you can report those scams, or learn more about them.
