Payment Solutions. I have reported them to the BBB and you should do the same. They will continue to call if you ask them to remove your number. We are on the no call list and they are in violation. I was cordial once and "took the bait" just to get their REAL company information since they use a number forwarded for the phone number. IDIOTS.
These idiots call from locations offshore, using a 'spoofing' program that shows a phone number from another location. If you answer when they call, you have just verified that the number they called is good, and you can expect many more calls like this. The BEST course of action is to NEVER answer any calls with out of area area codes. If it is an important call for business, they will leave a message, if it is a phone spammer, they will hang up without leaving a message. If you are on the DNC list, go to www.donotcall.gov and there is a place to report violations. DO IT! When the DNC Registry gets reports of violations, THEY WILL PURSUE IT. (They get money from the violators through fines)
I have a couple of ways to deal with these parasites. First, I let the phone ring three full times before I pick up. I pick up and don't say anything for 2-3 seconds. If it is a computer autodialer, 80-90% of the time the computer will hang up thinking it has gotten a voice mail or answering machine. After 2-3 seconds, I say our company name, but don't give out my name. That way they don't automatically have a name if they call back and get someone else. If I still get a person and they insist, I tell them my name is "Richard Smith"(it's not). It is none of their business what my real name is, they are telescammers who are breaking the law. If they persist in calling over and over again, I tell them that my boss is available, and then I use a sports air horn right next to the phone. What are they going to do, sue me? "Your Honor, I was illegally telescamming and they deafened me!" Good luck with THAT argument. The judge might give me a medal. Reporting these "people"(I use that term loosely) to the Do Not Call Registry is futile, they are usually spoofing their phone number anyway. If you have the time, have some fun with them. See how long they will stay on hold or still be on the line if you put the phone down. Take your cordless into the bathroom and have an extended "deposit" at the Porcelain Bank, complete with very loud fake sound effects. Tell them you ARE the boss and listen to their sales pitch, never saying yes to anything, but always saying that you will look at your numbers and see what you can do. Some scammers will record any affirmative answer you give and then splice it into a call and bill you for whatever they are selling, using that as evidence of an order. Waste as much of their time as you can, because that keeps them from scamming other people, and it can be a really fun stress reliever! Anything that we can do to make this less profitable for these ticks on the butt of humanity is a plus. Feel free to pass this on or add to it with your fun ways of taking back your phone lines. If these idiots would get a real job, the world would be a better place for all of us.
Same story as everyone else. After 9 calls, I reported them on the FCC complaint website and blocked their number. Doubt it will help, but it made me feel better!
Just about the same as everyone else. I answered the phone the man asked for the business owner when I said he was not available he hung up. I called the number back and was offered only one option where I was on hold for several minutes before giving up. I work in real estate, we don't accept credit cards...can you imagine buying a home with a credit card!?! Just sick and tired of telemarketing
