So what you're saying is that if I tell them I have bad credit or I live in Canada then my ten calls a week will go down? I wonder what's wrong with living in Canada? Dang, maybe I should sell out and move? And get rid of my landline!
Same lame scam from a new number about lowering my interest rate. I didn't answer and a robo call rolled to my Voice Mail. Came up as Financial Svcs on caller Id, which is a sure tipoff that it's a scam.
I know what I did to cut back to nearly none at all. You however, seem to be answering in some way, though, if you're telling them that. You do NOT want to talk to them at all, nor do you want the calls to be taken automatically, either. These crooks call, you'll want them to get nothing from your number but a ringing phone. I do compliment you greatly on your improvements, but you can get it to the point where they won't even bother calling. Telling them what you say still counts as an answer, even better is the fact they talk to you. Although you cut back on the calls, it's still money in THEIR pockets simply because you tell them what you do. It takes patience, time, and tolerance sitting through your phone ringing. Keep up the good work and you can do it. I wish you the best in doing it and I think you can. I did and I was getting 10-15 daily.
