MAY BE WE ALL JUST NEED TO SEND ALL OUR CARDS BACK TO THE CC COMPANIES THEN THEY WILL DO SOME THING ABOUT IT.

Rude people.  They called and ID said "Name Unavailable", so I didn't answer.  Then when the machine picked up, they yelled "Hey (my name), pick up, it's me, c'mon, I gotta tell you something".  They should be reported to authorities.

They seem to not care, and we (govt) is paying a bureau to stop annoying calls, another govt created department that can't do their job and get these screwballs in jail..

Something can be done. We need to out smart them and catch these thieves. Play along, get the law involved and work together to end theft by deception. Above all do not give birthday, S.S.# or account numbers unless calls are tapped by police. Once they find themselves paying big fines and/or in jail, they may have wished they had worked for a living.

Just got one of these calls.  I have a phone that shows and announces the number so I don't even have to run to the phone to see who it is (wife is blind, too, so she can get ID info as well).  I figure if it's not important enough to have an ID other than "unknown caller" or "name not found," plus not important enough to leave a message, it's not important enough for me to answer in the first place.
