My caller ID only identified this company as "unavailable," so I answered the call in order to help me ID them (the number, 200-000-0030, also seemed suspicious). I dialed "1" as instructed, and after about a minute, an operator answered. She said her name was Tiffany from card services. She said was I interested in lowering my credit card rates. I asked her if I would have to change my card (trying to see if she was calling from a card company I've dealt with). She said no. I said, how does that work? She said, they work with my current card company to lower rates. I then told her my true agenda--I told her I wanted them to stop calling me. As I began to tell her I was on the Do Not Call Registry, she hung up. By the way, those of you who got their company info---how did you find this out? Address.com says they're unavailable.

I have read many of the comments about this number. Yes, we all know it's a scam. Yes, we realize they are masking their phone # with a fake one. Your ideas for foiling them are elegant, but probably ineffective over the long run (yes, you can make one operator deaf or have them hold for 15 minutes, but chances are they will not be the next operator who gets the call). All of this is automated dialing--a computer, who doesn't have feelings or thoughts, and doesn't even know your phone number, dials you randomly. If you pick up and hit "1," like I did on another pesky number, you will eventually get connected to a live being. This person doesn't know your number! They have "caught" your call by accident--the computer has dialed them after successfully connecting to you. This is why there is no message left on your answering machine. So changing your ID to that of the FCC, or trying to avenge yourself on a particular operator, doesn't cut it. They don't know who you are! Unless, that is, you ARE stupid enough to give them your Driver's License, Name, Credit Card #, or any other ID! Now--if you've been patient enough to read this far: Let's all contact the FLORIDA Attorney General's Office! Most of these calls are coming from there--or, at least, they are using the good name of FLORIDA. Maybe we can start a class action suit against these pests. Now that might bring some money and attention to the situation!!!
