Dave,Don't waste your money on a cell phone if you think it'll stop these calls.  I get just as many of these stupid calls on my cell as I do on my land line.  I have a feeling that many of these companies just blind-dial all the numbers (i.e. 0000-9999) in any given prefix they know is associated with a given city, regardless of if it's related to a land line or cell.

When I get a message like that I tell them to  hold on while I get my dad. I then keep them on the line by telling them he is on his way.Like to steal as much of their time as they steal of mine.

I have told them off they said they wanted my name and where I live they don't know where I live and they cant't do anything about it if you tell them off or tell them to go f*** right off they don't have the authority to call the police if they call you and you swear at them

Recieved a call asking me to "be connected to a representative" if I pressed 1. They said that their name was Lisa and that "my credit card company" was going to qualify me for 6% interest rate. It was an automatic recording and I hung up. They didn't say who my credit card company was. Thanks.

dont bother ditching your landline...same crap diff. pile on cellular.

October 01 2011 same message Lisa - offering to lower credit cards rates.  New racket in town - again, and again and again.  Extremely annoying on Saturday afternoon especially when she repeats it 3-4 times.I do not even have a bloody credit card
