Bothw ent to answerign amchine dn nothign said, deleted both of the numbers> I don't answer unknown numbers to me and they don't like my message I have on there.If you can't leae a message, don't bother calling...even my friends get pissed at it....but they do leave a message..
Jan,
There's not much that can be done until the Congress or the FTC starts to take this stuff seriously. I've filed numerous do not call list complaints with my state and the FTC. Basically, the state guy I talked to said there was nothing he could do. The FTC claims to be pursuing the scumbags but it's claimed that for years and we still get a bunch of calls.
It does no good to ignore the call. They just call back. It does no good to talk to someone or press any buttons to be taken off the list. In fact, this is the worse because they get paid if you do something like that. The best thing is to simply hang up but for me it's the call that's the problem. I have to put down something I doing or watching to mess with the stuff.
The problem here is with the law and law enforcement. The Do Not Call list was aimed at otherwise legit businesses that where bothering people with their calls, such as cruise lines, telephone companies, and such. For the most part, these people obey the law because if they're caught they get fined.
Rachel from Card Services and other outfits like that are scammers. They don't have a legit business interest to protect and rarely get caught because of new technology. The FBI, not the FTC, should be going after these folks.
I have report them two times. And nothing is done. The Do Not Call List is a big fat joke. So why have it. Just got call from them again today. I must have signed up for the Do Call List silly me. Not funny
Just had a call from the same number, Caller ID says Arlington, Wa, and I didn't know any one there so the short message was, as all of y ou are saying... lower your interest rates. I wonder from what!!

Yes, indeed nothing can be done until congress and the FCC and FTC and States attorneys general take action, however, in the mean time, if they catch you when you have a minute -0- waste their time and make up a social security number and name and see if you can't make THEM waste their time on a fruitless call. Eventually they will go out of business if enough people smarten up and don't give them identity theft material, but hey, for now, lets all decide to 'fight back' by being obnoxious to them in a way that hits them in THEIR pocketbooks!
