I have been on the phone for a couple of hours this week trying to get my credit card interest reduced. I was getting 3 calls a day from credit card services, so deciding I had the spare time I gave them a big line to keep them hanging on. I could feel their excitement even over the phone. I had the last guy hooked for 25 minutes, that's when I asked him if they communicated with each other, or had a list of people that wasted their time. He asked what I meant so I told him I had talked with quite a few folks this passed week and had finally told them how I was just wasting their time because if they were legitimate all they had to do was check my credit and they would find I did not have any carry over balances and hadn't had for over 10 years.
They should know not to mess with seniors. I also turned them in to the ftc for spamming and unauthorized calls to a do not call number.
I don't understand why they can't catch these callers. All they need do is have a new phone installed , place the number on the do not call list, and in less than a day it will start ringing. Another example of passing laws without enforcing them.
When I get the phishing emails I always log in with the user name "how stupid are you" and a password that describes so illegal acts. It's funny, but they work too. I can just see them wasting time trying the user and pass word. I think though I will make them look as legit as the email so I too can waste their time.
Prayers for RB. Hope he is back soon.
