I have received fewer calls in the past month. Does that mean anything? Doubtful!!
Recently, I received a robo call from someone - not Rachel. Have there been so many complaints that she retired? ;)
With the holidays, I haven't felt like talking to the credit card scammers but since it's the last day of the year, I did today. It was from "Card Services" according to caller ID, phone # 417-800-2333 (SW Missouri area code). The message was pretty much the usual - ... this is their 2nd and final attempt ... to take advantage of the financial stimulus ...
I had a couple of minutes and pressed 1 to be connected to a service representative. The rep asked if I wanted to lower my interest rate. I told him I wasn't sure - the message was about the financial stimulus. He said, there were different messages that go out so he didn't know what the message was that I heard. He asked if I had debt over $4000 on my credit card and if the interest was 12% or higher. I asked if he would be asking for my credit card #. He went into a big song and dance about legal digital receipts - WHAT? - it would be completely confidential, blah, blah, blah. When he finally figured out that I wouldn't be providing him with my information, he hung up. Classy bunch, they are!
My New Year's resolution is to file a report with the Do Not Call Registry every time I get a call. There's a Do Not Call Registry for my state too.
