I picked up to tell these people to remove me from their call list. Waited through their entire bogus credit card scam message about how they had 'contacted me several times" to reduce my interest rate. This message is a lie, as I track every call and correlate similar messages, these people had not contacted us, and we do not carry credit cards with 6% interest. Once I got the 'friendly' live operator she sounded as dumb as dirt (definitely not 'friendly' when answering) and she hung up on me before I could finish the request to be removed from the call list.
I track these telemarketing calls and document them carefully. Did you know it is possible to sue these crooks under the TCPA? Telephone Consumer Protection Act.... look it up and more power to you. Keep a copy of the recording if possible, it allows one to cross-reference who is calling from multiple numbers with the same recorded message.
