And bank robbers shouldn't be robbing banks. These scammers are criminals. They use a telephone. They want your social security number, credit card number.

I agree! But the only thing they get from me is hung up on.. and I do file complaints!

This number called me tonight. They also called with the number v10181713050008. These people are bottom feeders who should get a real job. My number is blocked by Verizon. They change the number but not the scam. They are ruthless, relentless, and just plain wrong.

Don't answer the call. Especially if you know it's a scammer calling. If you accidentally pick up, just hang up. Don't press a number to be removed or to connect with the scammers. All you do is verify that your number is good and then you get lots more calls. Report the call to FCC.gov or DoNotCall.gov.

I just got a call from them, Bankcard Svcs, a bot recording advising lowering rates on my credit card. It said Press 1 to speak to a representative, and I pressed 1, and lo and behold, "Sabrina" comes on the line. I was going to tell her to take me off their call list, and NOT to call anymore, but I asked her, "Do you have my number there on your caller ID?", and she said "Of course we do, that's why we called" and she immediately disconnected the call (OK, she hung up!) before I could get a word in. I guess civility is a thing of the past and this is the new norm. I dread to ponder the alternatives, as most require to lower yourself to their level and violate the law(s) to cause them the level of discomfort that deter these leeches. OK, how's this? All you 2nd Amendment advocates may now exercise your rights in pursuit of your 4th Amendment rights: Hunting Season is now declared on these scumbags. That should result in a drastic decrease in these calls, and will save the FTC lots of (sequestered) funds in administrative costs.
