Just got two calls this morning 9:30am from 7089654576 and Unavailable on Verizon, Was getting 4-8 a day.
TO ALL:
Please list who your phone carrier is so we all can find any link to which one’s cater to the efforts of telemarketers.
Why Are We Getting These Calls? They get Money for Just the Ringing and Phone Companies Help Them.
"The FCC has temporarily halted 7 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since they are making money with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like http://www.telephonemanagement.net and http://www.CallerID4U.com
In their own words: 'Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.'
You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. They are making money even if you don't answer the phone. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their scam then it is just icing on the cake for them."
How Do You Hurt Scammers Like These? Take Away The Money!!!
We should all annually shut our phones off all day. The call center goes a whole day doing all that work with nothing to show, that’s got to hurt. Listen, we all for on a list and that list is being circulated and we are being the suckers. Turn The Cards, wouldn’t hurt me to turn it off all day I’d enjoy it.
