Why can't fhe FCC take action? What law is needed to shut these people down? Do they get through because lobbyists deliberately work to weaken legislation or regulation? Why is there not a citizens lobby to eliminate loopholes for these people?
I play along until the seller says he or she can lower ny interest rate. I tell them they cant because I pay zero. (True, I pay up full each month). However, I say, if you can get me a negative rate I would be interested. "CLICK". This is repeated. You might think I would be delisted since I am a waste of their time. Not so, I still get repeated calls with different lines and voices!
Yes give a phony number and actually keep asking them to hold and answer the door or pet the dog and come right back. It ties them up and wastes their time and maybe they will take your number off the list as a waste of their time.
