This is the third call I've recieved since requesting a no-call list, which I requested after the message - 3 times. I am filing a formal complaint with the FCC if I get one more call.
The call came in as Service Rewards so I did the answer and hang up to stop the call from ringing. Then I called the number back and the option to be removed from their call list was offered by pressing "1" and I have now blocked this number too. It should be a crime for these companies to call.
This is how this scam works. it works 2 ways.These telemarketers keep calling random numbers trying to get an active telephone number. They get it by either you answering the phone ( now they know its an active number ) or by you calling the company back after they called your house several times to ask the company to remove your number from their call list. They usually at this point ask for your name as well as your telephone number. Now they have your telephone number that they know is a legit number so they either sell that number to other telemarketers or they can get personal information on you like your Social Security number and Drivers Licence number to open up credit cards in your name just by you calling them back and giving your name and number. In most cases, blocking out the number is only temporary because these companies change their numbers every few weeks. For me, the only thing that worked was getting Magic Jack and only turning it on when i needed to make a phone call and then shutting it off when not in use.
I am so sick of these people calling me with the stupid, the fbi reports a home break in every x amount of minutes.
How can they legally keep calling me! Damn political lists. I get called by all the non profits and political lists around and then creeps like these start calling me. So much for the DNC list and it is getting worse. How can I stop them?
