Again, another sucker (unfortunately that would be me in this case) has been taken by the proverbial telemarketing scammer. If you feel like throwing $200.00 away today (or anytime for that matter), just accept the wonderful opportunity provided by this scamming bunch.
It starts with the normal scammer line, "Hi, I am calling in regards to your recent interest shown on our interenet site, we are here to help you improve your credit rating...or any other such blah, blah, blah. It should start with, or more at, I {and everyone else} should hear "Hi, i am calling today in hopes that you would like to give me some money for no reason, with no hope of ever seeing it or any legitimate service ever again...and by the way, good luck in trying to retrieve it.
I am referring to the company that follows, but you may of course insert any name, location or other false pertinent information you may wish: this particular one is; USA Financial, PO Box 4719 Clearwater, FL 33758-4719 with so-called customer service # 1-877-872-7011 M-F 10AM - 6PM EST
There is of course never an answer (if you can get past the "Due to a high volume of calls, your call cannot be completed at this time, please hang up and try again... (it would be nice at this point if the phone co. message would just say "HA,Ha,Ha, do you really think you will ever get through... snicker, snicker, click, click save your time and energy, you have already been burned for $200.00 why don't you get on with your life.
Thanks for listening to me vent, it would just be so refreshing to be notified (or even read about for that matter) that some state or federal authority would/did actually take some time and effort to put a stop to these type of activities practiced by my "fellow Americans".
And just as an afterthought, if any authorities did bother to take the time and effort needed for such an endeavor, I think a nice and justifiable reward for the perpetrators could/would be a 15 month time of service in oh...say Iraq or Afghanistan providing an actual service to their fellow Americans as maybe something like low-tech suspicious package/possible IED investigators ... but alas that will no-doubt continue to be left up to real Americans already faithfully discharging their duties in these lands.
