Grant Association Services ripoff India
This company contacted me even after I put my number on the do-not-call list with the government. I was reluctant to give them any information as far as my id and other related information nor did I give them any access to my money. I search for information while talking to them so as to make sure that it wasn't a rip off and found this website. luckly I read the reports and ended the call immediately.
Unfortunatly I thought that my number was on the do not call list and am wondering if there is any way that I can go after them for violating the do not call list. I was greatly worried by the fact that they could get my routing number to the bank with out my help at all. when I asked for them to send me information and a contact number they would not do it and continued to try and collect my ID number and other information from me. I hesitated and now I want to make sure that my information is safe even though they know where I bank and just my name.

It is fairly easy to get bank routing numbers.

Jeremy,
It takes 30 or so days for your number to be added to the do not call listing. If you signed up longer ago than that, we need to find out how they are calling. You will still get calls from charity org. Bank routing numbers are easy to get.
Most companies are now running ACH payments or electronic checks for payments and your bank's routing number is necessary for that. You can call a bank and get their routing number. It is like their phone number it identifies that bank with that number. However, it does noone any good with regard to you without your actual account number to go with it.
I bet they told you they already had your account number and needed you to read it back to them so they could verify that you were who you said you were. It was a ploy to make you think they were legit. You were right not to give any more information. Never give any information on a call you did not start or know nothing about.
