[Shop-talk] annoying calls

[Battmain]

Some of my annoying calls came from credit cards I owned. I warned them once and called their customer service directly requesting to be removed from the call list. Those that continued after 30 days were cancelled. So far, Amex has been the best card last 10 years. No stupid lock downs when I travel by car and have to fill up multiple times. Immediate email notification of a charge.Talking within 5minutes of swiping the card. Immediate resolution of disputes. (Seems that is one reason merchants dislike the card)   For spam on the cell phone. Somehow my unlisted number got exposed, now I just mark the calls spam. If they call back again, they get blocked. Seems to go in waves. Have also noticed calls from repeat numbers stop when I report to donotcall.gov. Usually wait until I have 6 or 7 calls from the number before reporting, but it really is easier to add to the spam contact which is quite large at the moment then block them.

> for some time I’ve been getting calls on cells phones and home phone offering me “lower credit card rates” and have a limited time to reply... when I press “1” to speak to an associate, I get a foreign being speaking almost english and when I tell him to stop calling they hang up..these calls are two to three times a week and sometimes twice a day. Today I called their 800 number and got bank of america. After three failed attempts and a call back I finally spoke to a person and she told me it was a scam and they mask their number and it shows BoAs 800 number. She said there was nothing they could do... but put me on BoAs do not call list but offered no incouragement that that would stop the calls
> Is there anywhere I can take this to get it resolved... I can’t seem to block the number on my home phone since it[s a 800 number and haven’t found a way on the cells yet... come on phone/tech/gurus... little help here
