Does anyone else just want to annihilate 'Rachel from card services'?

I am soooooooooooo tired of ignoring the calls and yet receive a truncated voice message from these lawbreaking scammers.

I have looked online and there really isn't a lot you can do. They spoof the numbers they call from and if you do reach a person and tell them to stop, they say they will but they don't.

I guess in the grand scheme of things, this is small potatoes, but just annoying nonetheless.

It uses your computer's dial modem as a CID device. (It won't use it to place any calls.) You can then instruct it to automatically hang up on calls from certain numbers. They change their number from time to time, but you will only need to block each number once.

After asking them (nicely) to remove me from their list twice, I asked them not so nice a couple more times. Lately I've been harrassing whoever picks up(male or female) with questions like:

1) What are you wearing?

2) Do you ever date quadriplegic men?

3) I'm about to be sent to prison for mail fraud. Will you be my pen pal?
