One day last week the phone was ringing constantly. My husband had finally had enough and picked up, big mistake! They were calling about something that was wrong with our credit card. My husband told them if there was a problem, send him a letter. They still kept calling. My husband finally told them to knock it off and he wouldn't be answering again. The next time it rang, I picked up. Now they pulled out a new one. The caller said he was from "a law firm" they had received a complaint from our credit card company and we needed to talk with them the next time they called. I told him that I'd been born in the morning, but not THIS morning and I'd smelled a scam from the first call. They could stop because it wasn't going to work. No more calls!
