I ran to get the phone & got a recorded message about my credit cards. I don't have credit cards. I am on the do-not-call list, but still get these stupid calls!
These people have been calling me for over a year - it is the same 2 people - a black male and a black woman. This time when I told him again to stop, he asked if I could give him some good head because he just got out of prison. I am so sick of these people.
THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.
Got a call from a recorded message about lowering interest rates. Sounds like a scam and pressed option 2 to be removed from call list. Also went to donotcall.gov and filed formal complaint. It's against law in Minnesota to use dialer calls AND violation of federal do not call list. BUT can't find company address to do anything more than just file complaint with donotcall.gov
