Is the FCC so ineffectual that it can't stop these calls. Research shows the FCC fines the companies but then they claim they can't pay and then the fine is reduced. Before you know it they are scamming people again! I say PUT THE SCAMMERS IN JAIL! Even the people making the calls should go to jail if they aren't smart enough to realize they are breaking the law!
Credit card scam. Same old story - - - new number. The numbers are spoofed (falsified on your caller ID) so you will never know where the call is actually coming from. If you try and pres 1 (or 2 in some cases) to be "removed from their list" that does nothing other than confirm that they have a good number and they will continue to call and harrass you. I feel bad for the eldery and others who are not aware of these scams and are innocent enough to hand out their personal info. You can go to www.fcc.gov and file a complaint. I don't really think they can do anything about it, but if no one complains then we'll never know....
