Scamming Idiot Calling Me at Home
I understand this scam has been going on since around 2008 so they must be finding people to scam that haven't got a clue what they are doing is scamming them.
And while I'm busy on a rant, I called one of the utility companies to complain about getting so many calls about my service. It's just another offshore scam they apparently can't do anything about. Then there are numerous calls about my credit card, which is another scam. Oh, there's more calls than that, but you get the idea.
It's probably a good thing I seem to be a bit on the cranky side for unsolicited calls because the scammers get nowhere. Some have been calling me for months because I just hang up on them.
Offshore telephone scams are definitely the new business model and I wish some gov't agency would do something to catch them. Ever wonder how many of these scammers were hired from here? I do.
Okay, ranting is over, except to mention that call centers here pay absolutely no attention to the do not call list. Those are the people I let waste their time and then ask them why they don't know my phone number is on it.
If so many legitimate companies didn't have robot calling, like the water company to advise of work in the area or the grocery store when they've had a serious recall, it wouldn't be such a waste of time to wait to see who is on the phone.
Now the rant is over. Sort of. I should go see exactly what the law gives as a remedy for the do not call list and turn them in. I think my phone number must be listed as please call me, I'm lonesome and stupid.
Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
