That's why I think we can make them suffer. A death of a thousand cuts (or in this case, millions of phone calls). They assume every call transferred to an agent is a potential sale. What if it wasn't? They have overhead, bills to pay, etc. They depend on some percentage of answered calls will...
Ah, so this one depended fully on browser-seizing popups which displayed customer dis-service phone numbers for dubious tech support rescues. This is one more item for handy reference the next time someone claims that "dah gubment does nothing" or that "the caller sounded foreign, there's nothing to...
FTC lawsuit alleges that defendant James Christiano and companies he controls operate TelWeb, a dialing platform. Using “neighbor spoofing” – an illegal technique that falsifies the caller ID number, routed to call center outfit World Connection. Names associated: James Christiano, Aaron Michael...

That was my experience - no calls from the Rewards Card issuers, not a peep. The calls came instead from their "partners" - the ones that are mentioned but unnamed in the fine print. Posting on Job Search websites gets you a lot of calls from on-line schools, the Rachels, student loans and such....

Havent heard from rachael in a while. I now get a more realistic voice, Julie. Now this one actually asks questions. If you tell her to F off, It will hang up on you but of course will continue to call you again.
The calls come in multiple times a day from various numbers from AZ, CA, NJ etc etc. The company when you get someone on the line after the recorded "Amanda" is "Smart Home Solar" which after searching the web doesn't come up as the same company harassing me.
