Tele-scammers
I got an illegal telephone call this morning offering to help me with interest rates. The phone call started with a recording issuing a vague statement expressing concern about my credit card interest rates. Since I’m on the national and Oklahoma “Do Not Call” list, I followed through with the offer to talk to a live person.
The guy who picked up the phone immediately asked for my name and telephone number (hey, you called me, dude!) When I tried to tell him to remove me from their calling list and to complain that the company was illegally employing a prerecorded telemarketing message, I found I was talking into a dead phone.
Looks like I’m not the only one receiving the calls. I had no information about the company or the phone number that called me, or I would have reported it here.
