They are 'Slamming' Cell Phones Now

I paid for an efax number for three years after I canceled the same, and then discovered it was still showing up on my credit card, I contacted them again, and it appeared on the next month credit card. I complained to the credit card, and for one month it was gone. It reappeared, and I cancelled the credit card and started getting emails that I owed them for the efax.....told them to pound on sand. I was paying 14 bucks for 36 months on something I had cancelled.

Thanks Z I will let my daughter know. As far as those unwanted calls I tell them ..........Hello--yakyak did i give you my phone number?

yakyakyak ..DID I GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER? ....YAKYAKYAK...dont call me anymore ...hang up-heehee Now if they keep calling--bill collectors well that happned to me and one kept on calling and calling so I asked my lawyer what to do one day in general conversation and he told me this---------when they call all you have to do is say may I have your address --they have to give it to you--after you get their address you tell them dont call anymore .

Then you sit down and write a letter to them --to whomever you are bothering me at home with your calls I am asking you to stop . Dont call my home anymore.

the next call document time they called then call your lawyer -now what most people dont know -- $1000 will be awarded to you each time --or its like a $1000 fine they have to pay lol and they dont want to pay that.

Now what I do for reg--callers I dont want to talk to is just pick the phone up like I am answering it --then I just hang it back up-works everytime.

Don't get me started about telemarketers. We are on both the national and Florida 'Do Not Call' lists, and we still get telemarketing calls. Usually, they are robocalls trying to directly market you (illegally), or, they are a real person offering a 'free' home security system (or something similar).

There are laws against these scams but they pop up in a location, operate for a while then move. Like playing one of those old computer games.

I'm on the do not call list and seldom if ever am bothered. Remember politicians and charities are exempt.

Legally you can tell someone who called you to not call this number again and they have to comply. Of course, whether they obey the law or not is another thing.
