[Vision2020] "Credit Card Services"

[Carl Westberg]

A few years ago, I kept receiving messages telling me that I was in imminent danger of serious legal trouble regarding my old student loans.  I never had a student loan.  I finally, after several messages, called these people, told them I had never taken out a student loan, that I paid for school the old-fashioned way (that would be my dad), and to leave me alone.  The woman was very apologetic, and said there was obviously some mix-up that could be easily straightened out if I gave her my social security number.  I think I used every one of George Carlin's "seven words" and a few more.  It did stop the calls....

I usually call them back. Like dozens and dozens of times, it pisses them off tying up their lines so they cannot call out and reach their quotas. Insist on talking to the exact person that called you, which is a made up person and name. Ask lots and lots of questions. When they get mad at you, hang up and call back again in ten minutes. It is cheap entertainment at their expense instead of yours. If everyone did this these places would shut down. Hit them where it hurts, in their wallets. You cannot keep them from calling you, so you might as well make them as miserable as they make you.

Has anyone else had the repeated pleasure of phone calls from "Credit Card Services"?  I've had several, usually from "Rachel", who proceeds to tell me or my answering machine that "while there's nothing wrong with your account right now, it's "urgent" that you contact us right away for better interest rates".......which is the point where I always rudely hang up on poor "Rachel".  I probably got my first call at least a year ago, and have received about a dozen since. It's an obvious scam designed to bilk more gullible folk into giving out there bank and account number.  How do these people get away with this stuff?  This is a rhetorical question.....
