Even though I’m on the Do Not Call list, I’ve had “credit card services” call me a number of times and every time I say I want to opt out, they reply “please hold for my manager.” They wait a few seconds, then they pick the phone up and hang up. They are hoping you think it’s a lost call…

I used to get calls 4-6 times a day from the SAME robo-caller offering a “free” Medical Alert system. Now, I get calls from “Rachel from Card Services” about twice a week, even though I’ve been on the Do Not Call list for…

I was contacted by phone by a man who said he could help me with the problems I was having on my computer. An hour later he had convinced me to disconnect all my internal protections, and must have had the keys to controlling my computer by then…

Medical alerts, security systems, auto warranties, credit card, phony “free” travel – they all call mostly using robots. Some are real people. Sometimes I talk to them in the hope of getting a real company name so I can file a complaint. Certainly the option to be removed…

For the past two years, I receive the same “robocall” often. The call begins with a horn and then a pre-recorded voice says, “this is your captain calling”. The call offers some sort of cruise ship vacation deal but I never listen to the entire…

My wife and I are both retired, live quiet lives and value our privacy. We pay telephone companies for a land line and for cellular services to meet our own needs, not as a vehicle for corporate marketers to invade our home. We receive three to four robo-calls every day. Recently…

I frequently receive calls from “Rachel from Card Services.” I have filed at least 75-100 complaints per year with the Do Not Call website and have never had a noticeable result. I have requested a call back, never got one. I also contacted both of my Senators and…

Before we gave up our landline, we used to get several a day. Since giving up our landline, the calls have stopped, but I have received an “Award Notification” claiming they had been unable to reach us to deliver a voucher for more than $1200 in airline tickets. I recognized…

A few months ago I received a call from a ‘private caller’… who said they were sending out new Medicare cards and wanted to verify my information. She verified my name, address, etc. Then she said get out your checkbook and read me the numbers on the bottom of the check. I knew…

I am disabled and get at least one scam robocall call a week. They try to tell me that a warrant or a fraudulent check is out in my name and I need to phone an “investigator” to clear this up, for a $500 fee. The caller ID reports that the call is from the “Fraud Division.” Even though…

A couple of months ago, my sister in another state passed away. Being her only living relative, I had a lot to take care of. After two weeks of travel, I returned home to find my answering machine completely full of robocall recordings. Legitimate callers had been crowded out and could not leave a message…
