Have been getting robo calls from this co., by "Bridget". Before it was "Carmen", but probably same company. Tried to get more info about name of company, but when I asked "tell me more about the "Credit Assistance Program", they hung up on me.
So, here's what I am thinking about doing: I am going to try filing suit against the companies that provide the phone number spoofing equipment and add in the called-from spoofed phone numbers as John Does. This is a gray area in the law- but there have been cases where liability was apportioned among an industry because it was impossible to determine the identity of the true defendant. I am going to try it because us 'regular people' have no way to identify the actual callers. If you have been called by "Carmen", "Bridget", "Card Member Services" or "Credit Assistance Program", I'd be very appreciative to know of your details, including how often you've been called and how you've been inconvenienced by the intrusion into your privacy so that I can add the public's stories to the complaint. This is a HUGE problem. The DNCR, our Attorneys General, the FTC etc are NOT doing their jobs at all. Its time we tried something else. An email I set up for your comments:
