“Rachel from credit card services” is pretty common.
Even if you’re on the “do not call” list, they still nail you.
Often, they spoof a number with the same area code as you have, so you’ll answer it, thinking it’s someone in your community.
I don’t answer them. I figure if someone really wants to talk to me, they’ll leave a message.
Same here. If I don’t recognize the number, it goes to VM. I get a lot of nonsense calls all day. A lot of them are B 2 B sales calls that I don’t want. I have toner, thanks.
Yes it is, twice a week. Last time they called I pressed one for a live person, when they answered I said "I'm on my way to your kids school, you'll never see them again." and hung up.
I have gotten a lot of those IRS calls too. I dog those guy's out something terrible. The IRS calls usually come from Arabs, so I usually insult allah to piss them off. Then I will call back repeatedly until they just disconnect the number. It takes about an hour and between thirty and forty calls to make them nuke their number. I figure that way any messages they left with others before me was nothing more than a waste of their time.
