They are criminals. All they want is your personal information. Criminals do not care about the law. Most are foreign. They all use fake numbers and computers to mask their location and identities. A computers does all the work until you press a button, then you are forwarded to a live scum bag who tries to doop you by getting your credit card info or address and personal information.
These calls continue because they work. If the criminal calls 1000 people (by masked VoIP mind you) and only one falls for it, it is successful. Your identity and credit card/bank account can yield thousands. I don't know that many people who make $1000 a day. Also, not that many people use 800 notes or are aware of these scams. Every single day people fall for these scams and hence why we all continue to get these calls. Don't take it personally, millions of Americans get these calls, including politicians and millionairs. But, criminals can get your number from a host of places, the phone book is digitized now and auto-dialers can work wonders. Keep in mind, a computer does all the work until you press a button.
Telemarketing scams are the new email spams. Warn others, beware, and if it is a telemarketing robo call, it is illegal. PERIOD!
Beware. warn others, and report.
