frogprince BS: All the Scams Aren't in Nigeria (251* d) RE: BS: All the Scams Aren't in Nigeria 11 Aug 15


For long months, I've been getting the same robocall: "This is your final notice; there is nothing wrong with your current credit card account, but..." Until quite recently, I usually got the phone back down before it got past the first couple of words. The calls went on and on. Then I found an old coach's whistle kicking around the house. I put it by the phone. If I hit button one for a live rep, I would be told how many calls were ahead of me. If it was two or three, I waited with the whistle... I was hoping word would get around, but instead the calls escalated to two or three a day. I decided to try "signing up" with totally bogus id and information. If they caught on, I would ask why they would object to my lying to them once, after they lied to me a hundred or more times. So, I got a live rep: "Hello; do you have over $2,000 in credit card debt?" I blurted out "no". He had hung up before I could finish the "O", and it's been weeks with no more of the call. I obviously wasn't worthy of their helpful service.
