Don't forget the "Microsoft, review of your computer for viruses" calls. Those have been real people who tried to direct me into an online site which would have permitted them to take over AdMin functions on my computer.
Based on the responses received from the attorney general's office on my reports to the PA state Do Not Call site on those "lower your credit card interest rates" calls the phone numbers that pop up on the caller ID are bogus. Those calls are a massive operation very difficult to trace. But they did say that there was one operation that is currently being prosecuted. So even if it is annoying given the volume of the calls do still report the violations. Maybe we can get some of them shut down C J Kelly S 47th St _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimm Tynan Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 11:26 PM To: missthin; Richard Conrad Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UC] Security sales - scratching AWAY my silence The Federal Trade Commission would also like to know if anyone knows how to stop them and is offering a $50,000 prize to anyone who can come up with a solution. http://robocall.challenge.gov Kimm On 12/2/12 5:00 PM, "missthin" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Richard and anyone else getting these robocalls YES, I get at least one home security call a day, the "if you are up to date on your electric bill" calls - 3 or 4 a day and the ever loving "lower your interest on your credit card" calls. Yes I'm on the DNC list, no it's not stopping any of these scammers. And yes, when they call my cellphone and I get a number I do report it, but that does no good either. Cell is really annoying because it's prepaid, so I'm paying for these calls! I don't know what the answer is to stopping them. I've tried the wait and press to speak to someone and have nicely informed of DNC list and to take me off, I've yelled. Doesn't matter. They're all constant. If anyone knows how to get them to stop, please let the rest of us know?
