When you answer and say hello to a robo-dialer, thats what tells the robot that your's is a working number,and that it has a live sucker on the line,and your number is then moved to the"sucker"list,once your number is on that list, it stays on FOREVER! Welcome to our little club.Your number will be sold/traded/shared with every other scammer here in the USA and around the world.You can complain/biXch/and moan all you want to the FBI,CIA,NSA,FCC,FTC,OPRAH, and even Hawaii 5-0,but your number will always and forever be on that"sucker list".When they call,consider it a challenge,mess with them with the goal of wasting as much of their "valuable"time as possible, press 1 to speak to a"representative",then feed them as much B-S as possible,give them goofy/FAKE names,addresses,credit card numbers,toll free customer contact numbers on the back of the card,etc.etc.Since I retired,one of my personal favorites,is,when they ask for the toll free number on the back of the card, I give them a VERY kinky toll free sex-chat number,(google for a list of these),then just wait for them to come back on the line.Usually hilarity ensues,but be prepared for their true evil personalities to emerge,hold the receiver a couple of inches from your ear in case they have an air-horn/whistle.I've been messing with them for about 5 years now and actually look forward to their calls.I usually average about 10-15 minutes per scammer,here's my routine,I pretend to be senile and/or hearing impaired,and make them repeat things 3 or 4 times,then finally give them that "nasty" phone number,HaHa!But remember,they are trained,professional grifters,their ultimate goal is to get your checking acct./credit card/debit card info so they can transfer your money to them.My husband tells me I need a hobby,I tell him I already have one.It's called scamming the scammers.Stay safe out there fellow club members.

I have been getting calls from this number for almost a year and I try to catch it and push reject or ignore.  It's definitely annoying.  Tday I answered and received  a recorded voice  saying if I wanted to make a call I should try again.  I wish I knew how to stop it.  I've been getting other ones from who knows where.  If anyone has a solution, I'm sure a lot of us would like a tip!

Card services scammers. ...someone needs to level their offices.;-)

left no message...i didnt recognize numebr so of course answered with FBI faud division......dum shites

To  bad  the  NSA  does  not  snoop  on  these   creeps  instead   of   honest  people.

i just enjoyed my daily chat while commuting.  Another day... another scam victim delayed.  I gave bogus information while constantly transposing a number for 14 minutes before I heard an exasperated sigh and then they terminated the call.  I get cathartic value messing with these bozos.

Credit card scammers. Told the operator to F her entire family before she could get a word in edgewise.

Answered to be greeted by silence, then hang-up.
