I got a call this morning claiming to be from Breast Cancer Society. I played along as I figured it was a scam. They tell you they will mail a donation form, then they suggest you use a credit or debit card over the phone and save the mailing cost. Um, no not going to give them my CC number. Idiots.
Our house phone has had many phone attempts (morning, noon and night) from this number. I finally answered it and the caller "clicked on" identifying herself as Amanda with Breast Cancer Research" and asking for the lady of the house. After explaining she wasn't available she said, "oh I can talk to either one of you". I explained we were on the do not call list and had an unpublished phone number. She then began to get very "pushy" at which time I got hotter under the collar and told her in no uncertain terms to remove us from their list. I am so tired of all these bogus phone calls on landline and cell phones I could strangle someone. What does it take to get these "[***]" to leave us alone.
I live in Peshtigo WI and have now received two calls from that number. Each time asking for the previous person with my phone number and when I tell her it's no longer his number, she starts with "Oh I have the right number, just the wrong name" and then tries to get info from me as I am telling her I am not falling for her scam. Then a hang up.
