I always answer and have fun with them. I tell them I love paying high interest because its good for the economy just like I never claim exemptions on my taxes because I love paying more. They always hang up on me.
funny, because i had just loaned a neighbor my phone so it went to the service. they left a message stating something about "qualification for obama stimulus" and "final notice"--i assume this is more of the same balance transfer telemarketing for credit cards. i get these calls often and seems as though others do.
Your effort is worthless. They won't take you off it, and because you didn't report it to the donotcall.gov site, nothing will ever be done. Every once in awhile one of these jerks gets banged by the Feds or by a State. But, nothing will be done if it is not reported. Thanks for nothing!
Right on! I called the State Atty Generals office in MO. Talked to a very intelligent guy and he explained that these goof balls are likely foreign callers. They apparently get a US number to route through so you can call them back to confirm your number.
There is little the govt can due to them out of the US. The only way these a$$ holes gain is the few folks who fall for their scheme and drain their credit cards. They are correct the will affect your interest rate but not how you want.
People work to hard for their money and credit to put up with these a$$ holes. It still may cost you even if your card has fraud protection, another story to some degree on a debit card.
Same old saying, if it is to good to be true it probably is a scam.
