There are 2 parts to the "Rachel" scam - the revenue sharing which is what I am going after at the moment and the actual scam itself where the thieves steal the money from innocent people - which is what the whistles and wasting their time affects. We need both approaches. If you have the time and enjoy it then hey - it's cheap entertainment and keep it up. The main thing we have to know is that there is no silver bullet, no magic pill to end this. We need to get thousands of people involved in one approach or the other and we need CRIMINAL penalties against the criminals involved. We need the politicians to take this seriously and have the government pursue this under the RICO act. Pick your poison and get the word out.

They didn't get your number, them and the Credit Services scammers just phone spam every phone number in the country.

May I suggest, instead of *not* hitting 1 and immediately hanging up, that people DO hit 1 and then waste as much of the scammers time as possible?   For me, this didn't work for the norwegian cruise scammer (I can't waste much time answering "what city are you in?" so I hung up), but for the credit services scammers, as soon as they ask for a credit card I just say "just a minute".  I *don't* say I'm actually getting anything, and I don't, I just keep them on the line for a while, THEN after a minute or so tell them I'm reporting them to the Federal Trade Comission as well as the FCC.   I had read that when the credit services scammers were busted like 10 years ago, there was only something like a dozen people in the call center -- few enough so it'd take a VERY low percentage of people wasting their time to PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.   Just make sure they don't persuade you into giving them any info and you're good to go!

The FTC just took down 5 of these scum suckers. Obviously they have more to go.
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2012/11/robocalls.shtm

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list.
2.    Consider blocking the number
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office.
Register your phone numbers online at http://www.donotcall.gov or call (888) 382-1222 (must call from # you want removed).

I have greatly reduced the number of calls to my cell phones by going to my carriers website (Verizon) and they allow me to block up to 5 numbers for 90 days. Since these scum change numbers every 30 I have had a very peaceful time. Call me once shame on you, call me twice shame on me. I also put it in my contacts list under Scum Suckers and assign it NO ring tone so at least after the first call they won't bother me anymore (I have filled all of the numbers in each and am up to Scum Sucker 47 now). This is only a whack-a-mole solution however it is the only one I can offer.
The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them nothing and they can make a million of them a day so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay $5 to $15 to your phone company. The scammers send out millions of calls per day which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls. You can also see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their con then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the caller ID at no charge to other phone providers and to it's customers as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.
Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant jail time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. The government needs to go after them using the RICO act. That will be the only effective means of dealing with this.
Here is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.

Prank Call
Just got a call from this number a few moments ago saying that I signed up for something and now I was getting some kind of cruise... I didn't sign up for jack, so I hung up.  If they call again I'm filing a complaint.

This can be stopped once we can determine the street address of the call center or the location of the school that the callers children attend.

So they called me when I was asleep, in the morning I called back and they answered and played a message saying "The call could not be completed as dialed, please try again." I could even hear them talking in the background.  They were talking in a Hispanic accent.  I said "I can hear you guys." and they played the recording again.  

If you're curious what they were saying, they mostly just called out phone numbers to each other.  I couldn't really understand what they were saying other than the numbers, either they were speaking Spanish or suck at talking.

called my cell phone (like most above) for free Cruise Line.  the message left was partial :"... for your cruise, or press 2 to decline our offer and be added to our do not call list."

They are just checking if you answer and then sell your number/name.
