I get several of these calls per day. Blocking the numbers does not help because their systems generate different numbers that appear on your caller ID.
The "do not call" list does not help. Telemarketers are required to consult the list BEFORE making the call. Most don't.
In 2016 the FTC reached a settlement with "Rachel from Card Services" and distributed the funds from the settlement to people who had lodged complaints.
This was their scam: According to the FTC, Life Management Services swindled people out of their money by offering two types of phony debt relief: credit card interest rate reduction services and credit card debt elimination services. The company promised lower interest rates or government funds to pay off debt, and asked people to make initial payments ranging from $500 to $20,000. But almost no one got the help that was promised.
I got a "Rachel" call last week so how did that work out?
I am in favor of Capital Punishment for these people and robo calls should be outlawed altogether.
