along with a version of my name that I've never used in my life.

I was so pissed I complained to the FTC, but they rejected my complaint because the number of the caller was the same as my own. So I wrote them an irate letter about this practice and asking them to adjust their complaint parameters to that victims of this particular scam could file complaints.

Not that I expect my complaint to be dealt with.

I was livid. Since then I've watched as my number morphed into all permutations.

Don't know why she keeps calling here. No one ever answers.

Uses - Card Services as their name.

So now I'll have to be careful about being rude to them.

She and her husband Christopher Lee Miano, and their companies A+ Financial Services and Accelerated Accounting Services, settled with the FTC last year on a case against them for their robocalls. They were supposed to pay fines and stop making these calls.

Obviously they have not stopped. I suppose "Lisa" is another alias.

Christopher Miano was arrested in 2011 on charges of DUI (3rd violation) and driving with license restrictions. It's the same guy, owner of A+ Financial Services.

I wish I had their home phone number. I'd love to call and tell them how much I've enjoyed their fucking phone calls.
