Just got a call, recording it sounded like. Something about speaking the other day about stupid loan and unsecured line of credit. I hung up before they were finished since I knew I had no student loan debt.
From what I' know, Do Not Call lists will not keep people from calling if you gave them your number. You agreed by that cruise form to have them call you, in a legal sense.
They don't read these pages so your number won't get taken off by telling them to stop calling. Besides, you didn't leave them your phone number...
Are you really so stupid that you think they'll read this and remove your unknown number from their calling list? Apparently so...
Here's one for the hacker books: my father-in-law txts me this morning this number called his cell (can't imagine how they got that number) claiming this number represents a Collection Agency handling my "defaulted" student loans...Federal Student Loans, which, by the way never use private agencies when they have the IRS at their disposal (indication it's a scam #2 ; #1 is not calling me as my loan servicor has all my info). My loans are all current, as verified by the source, and a little digging around finds apparently multiple scams coming from this same number. My response? I shall program an auto-dialer thru multiple lines BACK to the number with recordings of accountability and shame (LOL) and give them a taste of their own medicine. A complaint to the BBB never hurts either. It pays to stay on top of your accounts AND to always know who you're dealing with. Shame they didn't Google ME before messing with my Dad >:[
