I got yet ANOTHER one today...a mere 24 hours later! lol I went through with the call again...this time I let it go further...she asked if I had a visa or mastercard...if I had at least 5000 debt...I said yes...which is SO untrue...I have no credit card debt! Then she wanted to know my lenders ....I got quiet and said...yes...I should tell you my lenders...they are called prosecution of calling a cell phone for marketing! Then I told her that if they called me again I would sue..she got all pissy and said you do that! I said yes, yes I will Becca...because I got her name ahead of time! lol She hung up and seconds later I got this number on my phone...425 320 5910 ...I answered expecting to have Becca personally have callled me back to curse me as I did her....but It was a number that asked you if you want them to stop calling press one. I did. We will see how that works out.
Yes, you are correct to have the state in which you live Attorney General's Office investigate this, but unfortunately the calls MORE THAN LIKELY are coming from a "burner phone" or pre-paid wireless (cell) phone that you can pick up virtually anywhere. The drug dealers, pimps and ho's (lol) use this type of communication because by the time the wireless provider gets the info to the authorites, the phone is disconnected and/or the supena to get the info takes to long. From what I have seen the opt out list doesn't work to well because the "robo dialer"(computerized calling) calls every phone # in that block of pre-fix, ie: 818-555-1212, there are 10,000 numbers in pre-fix 555. Also, in each pre-fix (10k max) a block numbers may go to wireless providers, low income, and large business, etc. I am in the wireless industry and we have to have EXTENSIVE TRAINING on these idiots who call/email and try to
"phish" for info to steal identities, which approx 10 MILLION are stolen EACH YEAR IN THE USA!
For the reason of this initial google search for the the # 520-360-2728, this sounds like a "credit repair" company that has the "robo dialer" calling all numbers in a pre-fix (which would include wireless numbers), BUT if you are on the DO NOT CALL LIST and they call you (because of the robo dialer), I am sure the law has a clause that states "when the company that is in question" finds out that they called someone on the DO NOT CALL LIST, they have to immediately "cease and dismiss" all communication with that person, OTHERWISE IT IS A $10,000 FINE PER CALL AFTER THAT (and that is a federal law.
Hope this helps shed some light on these type of calls.
Have a safe 4th everyone!
Let us know if that works, you can read my previous post replying to Rich re the state attorney. Although I have heard of emails that when you opt out at the bottom of any email from a company that when you go to "the email opt out website" and input your email address you actually get put on an even LARGER "list".
I keep getting calls from this number. It sucks bc i have a prepaid phone. I put my cell number into the do not call list. damn I dont understand how these scammers get away with this. why cant the phone compnay or gov or something track these scammers down... i mean if we dont pay our bills they know how to find us.
Also, only a few family and small group of friends have my number.
