<div class="">for some time I’ve been getting calls on cells phones and home phone
offering me “lower credit card rates” and have a limited time to reply... when I
press “1” to speak to an associate, I get a foreign being speaking almost
english and when I tell him to stop calling they hang up..these calls are two to
three times a week and sometimes twice a day. Today I called their 800
number and got bank of america. After three failed attempts and a call
back I finally spoke to a person and she told me it was a scam and they mask
their number and it shows BoAs 800 number. She said there was nothing they
could do... but put me on BoAs do not call list but offered no incouragement
that that would stop the calls</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Is there anywhere I can take this to get it resolved... I can’t seem
to block the number on my home phone since it[s a 800 number and haven’t found a
way on the cells yet... come on phone/tech/gurus... little help
here</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">thanks</div>
