I got a call and requested a supervisor. The sales person said there was no supervisor. I said I am on the DNC list and you are violating FCC law. (I made that up.) He said "Ma'am this IS the FCC". I said "You are claiming to be from the FCC?" and the man said "yes". That is ridiculous. Then he asked me if I had hummingbirds in my back yard. Nutty.
Automated talking about your credit card if you have a balance of at least $3000.00 you can lower your interest rate. Please push 1 to speak to a representive. I did, and ask to be removed from their calling list, immediatly the Rep hung up on me.
Same problem; I pressed one and they asked if I pressed one to get lower credit card rates. I said no I want my number removed and this is the 2nd request plus a complaint to FCC. The woman hung up on me.
I had reported this company to the Washington State Attorney General's office, and I received a phone call back from them yesterday. The company is located outside the US and uses computers to spoof their phone number. It appears as though the call is coming from somewhere in the US, but it's not.
The AG lady said that there is nothing anyone can do at this point because the crooks are outside the US. The best thing to do is to just hang up and DO NOT press any numbers, even the one that says they will put you on a do-not-call list. Pressing any number tells the computer that yours is a real phone number and they will continue calling you. They will probably also sell your number to other companies.
Remember, just hang up and DO NOT PRESS ANY NUMBERS. She said eventually they will stop calling.
