I get these calls about every 6 months or so. It's different numbers but they always have the same scam in one form or another. They have even gone so far as to call my place of employment and my mother. It is a SCAM. My State Attorney General's Office says they shut them down but then they just open up in a new place with a new number. When they call me the first time, I now just start laughing hysterically and tell them "Good Luck". If they chose to call back a 2nd time I get all serious and ask for as much info as I can get such as company name and address. Then I hang up. I report to the FTC and my State Attorney General. If it continues, I then start calling them back and use different voices while doing everything from crying hysterically, offering a Starbucks card because I have no credit cards since companies won't give someone with bad loans or check fraud credit, or giving them my attorneys name and number which is usually the number for either the local police department or FBI field office. after about 3 or 4 calls in a row of me harassing them, they leave me alone. If they absolutely won't give up I have an airhorn I blow into the phone when they call. That has always done the trick. Problem is I am on some list with enough of my personal information that these scammers just keep trying. Instead of letting it stress me out I have turned it into a game by trying to be as outrageous as I can.
