Got another call from these criminals about 15 mins ago. Why doesn't the government (state/national) come down on these companies that violate the do-not-call list? And I constantly get calls from investment brokers who tell me they can take me off their list (of course, that's NOT how the "do-not-call" lists work!!). Meanwhile, the only thing you know about their companies are that TO BEGIN WITH they're breaking the law by calling you. Not exactly a good basis for forming an investment relationship with them. Apparently Dun & Bradstreet sells these "lead" phone numbers.
Belle, it does not matter because these are scammers who are calling you. They do not honor the do not call list or follow the law. Nothing the DNC can do.
Got my FOURTH call this month (same recording, different phone number each time) from these jacka$$e$. This time I was ready: Had my air horn nearby and when the REAL person answered, gave them a good blast!
I am on the National Do Not Call List and have told them that until I was blue in the face. I even pressed their "optout" button! But, they never get the message...but just maybe they got MY message this time!
The Feds cannot handle this crap, so it is up to the individuals to do it. Rather than spend thousands on an attorney, etc, a simple airhorn only costs $5 and should at least keep THAT scammer from calling again!
Just DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION, especially a credit card number, as these people are the lowest of the low when it comes to deception, deceit and unlawfulness!!
