The reason my cell phone and house phone numbers are listed on "Do Not Call' is to stop such telemarketing calls, but 'Do Not Call' does not seem to be working. Am continuing to get several telemarketing calls and text messages offering cash or stating my credit card is in good standing or some language to that effect, but we'd like to offer . . etc. Have yet to wait and hear their whole spcheel. Still, it is annoying and it costs me for their calls and text messages on my Go-Phone. Maddening to say the least!
I don't know why telephone carriers allow phone number spoofing. The technology must exist to block calls that are bumped from location to location. C'mon...there has to be a way to absolutely keep someone in Botzavilla, Mugandawa from pretending they're calling from Waukesha, Wisconsin. The latest selective spoofery used will show a number that actually has called you in the past on your caller ID, like a relative. So of course you answer. Why is that even legal?
Call came in from this # about an hour ago; I couldn't get to it in time and no message was left. Googled the # and ended up here. I'm glad I didn't answer it; I get a lot of these and they're really annoying.
FYI, for anyone thinking of using a service like this - don't bother. Even if the service *is* legit (meaning they're not just phishing for personal information) you'll be charged a fee for them to negotiate with your creditors, and you can do that yourself - without the fee.
This number contioniusly calls my cell number. I am listed with the don not call registry and I have no problem with taking this nonsense as far as I need to.
