Called my home phone today. A recorded message that told me to push 9 if I wanted to save money on my credit cards. I pushed 9 to tell the rep to take my number off the call list. Got a man with a thick accent. He wanted to know why I wanted my number removed. I told him. He asked again. I told him, adding that I'm on the federal and state do-not-call lists. He tried arguing some more and then said he needed to put me on hold. I was on hold for a minute? When he came back on again, he wanted to know why I didn't want to save money. I told him I did but not through my credit cards, please take my number off the call list. He then told me, "You are a very stupid lady because you don't want to save money!" I told him, "No, I'm a very annoyed lady, and you're a very obtuse man. Take my name off your call list!" Then I hung up on him. I'm positive he didn't do as I asked. Now I'm wondering if this is a scam, an attempt to get people to divulge their credit card numbers to someone posing as a company.
