This company is a non-profit so i believe they are allowed to use robo-dialers?

They called about lowering my credit card rates--since I have caller ID,  I asked the guy why a company would call from a cell phone, he said "that must be a mistake"--scam artists!!

Just got a call from this number at 6:05PM (EDT). It rang twice, then hung up. If it's about lowering my credit card rates then I've answered these people before and told them I'm not interested. First of all, I never have a balance on my credit card so I would never take their offer. Second, unless this call comes from the company that holds my credit card then I don't have any established business relationship with them and, therefore, they should *not* be calling me because my landline is on the Do Not Call list and has been for many years. Just another bothersome telemarketer, I guess, making an illegal call. The DNC list seems to be a joke, unfortunately.

I don't know if this is working or not but I seem to be getting fewer calls.  I pick up the call and I start punching all the numbers on my phone in no particular order.  I do this for 10-15 seconds.  I NEVER say anything.  Then I hang up.
