I saw this number was showing above as a credit card company. I do NOT own credit cards as you PAY way too much to have them and it is too easy to go into debt with them.
So I called the number 404-419-6859 listed on my Caller ID.
It said it was a call from Georgia.
Well the guy has a very NEW YORK accent on his recorded message for 'Generating More Leads'.
You have to listen to the whole message (it is short) as he wants you to watch an 11 minute presentation.
Oh yeah, He tries to FIRST tell you he is a retired 'Cop'.
OK! I believe that one!!! NOT.
I am a Policeman's daughter so I know their drill about phone calls and illegal activities!
Anyways, he then asks you to leave your name and number.
He called me, so he should have information on who he called.
I said "My number is (XXX) XXX-XXXX, PLEASE REMOVE THIS NUMBER FROM YOUR LIST! THANK YOU, GOOD BYE."
BY LAW, ALL COMPANIES NEED AN OPT OUT.
I HAVE A COUPLE BUSINESSES MYSELF AND THIS GUY CALLED ONE OF MY BUSINESS CELL PHONES!
BE NICE AND ASK FOR THEM TO REMOVE YOU FROM THEIR LIST.
SHOULD HE CALL ME AGAIN. THEN I TAKE ACTION AND REPORT HIM TO THE F.T.C (Federal Trade Commission), http://www.ftc.gov/
In the middle of the page is a RED BOX---CONSUMER COMPLAINT.
This is the way to make unlawful calls stop.
I hope this helps.
