I get these calls too. Fortunately I work at a computer and as soon as I see the number come up on caller ID, I open one of these soundboard web pages, http://www.garybernato.com/bela.html or http://www.webtrendsguy.com/crazyalice/crazyalice.swf. I then press 1 to get them on the line and engage them in conversation by pressing one of the buttons on the page that says "Hello" or "What do you want?" After that I start pressing the buttons with the most profane statements. There is nothing they can do about it except hang up. There is no law preventing you from saying anything you want to someone who calls you. It is not like making unsolicited phony calls to old ladies. They called you looking to solicit their services. It's like a radio station or television station asking you to call in. If you are foolish there is nothing they can do. They asked for people to call in.
called 4:53pm. hello, this is heather with account services calling about your credit card. don't worry there is no problem with your credit card. this may be your last chance to lower your credit card interest rate. please press 1 for a live operator. i waited then heard someone pick up. then i hung up.
spam!
Same experience. I have only one credit card and I guarantee they weren't the ones calling me. This is spam, if not an outright scam. Beware! They were polite and said they'd take me off the list when I asked. Who knows?
