I spoke with a very rude and repugnant gentleman whom had a very thick accent.
Per federal law if you request to be taken off of a call list, the caller has to do so- if not you can be fined up to $10,000. The "gentleman" proceeded to laugh and say would you like my name and address, my company and I will never pay you 10k dollars. Apparently he was daft and did not understand all I was asking was to be taken off the call list.

This was for a payday loan, I never applied.

If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

As a point of law, the do not call list nor the request to be taken off a call list does not apply to debt collectors.  There is no $10,000 fine in this case.  What does apply is the FDCPA.  They must honor a cease and desist letter, sent by certified, return receipt mail.  Failing that you have an FDCPA lawsuit and possibly a TCPA lawsuit as well.
