They'll probably stop calling you if you'll pay 20 cents on the dollar dude.

If you are one of the legions of consumers who suffered through those annoying robocalls from “Rachel with Cardholder Services,” you could have money coming your way.
That’s right. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer watchdog, has reached a settlement with a collection of companies it says used that ploy. And now a special administrator is preparing to mail out checks to victims.
The total amount available to repay consumers is $700,000. The FTC says it is mailing out 16,590 checks this week. Each check will be for $42.95 and must be cashed within 60 days.
Here’s how the scheme worked: Robo-Rachel called you and claimed she could help with your credit card interest rate. If you asked to be connected with a real operator, the company then claimed it could get your credit card interest rate reduced for a fee. Credit companies are not supposed to guarantee you credit or a particular interest rate in exchange for an up front fee.
So… does this mean Rachel is dead and gone and you won’t be hearing from her again? Maybe. When a robocalling scheme works, other companies often copy it. In fact, after the FTC took its first action against “Rachel,” investigators were frustrated when the calls continued, likely placed by other sketchy companies.
If Rachel is gone, other robo-calling schemes will probably take her place. So report them! Robocalls are now illegal without your written consent and the same is true with political robocalls to your cell phones. As these payments prove, the FTC does investigate them.

Yeah, this has finally started happening to me a lot. I'd post the numbers on here, but I know when I googled one of them, some people said it is just a skype number that the solicitors use.

Not so much. The bitch calls my work cell phone which is in no way affiliated with my private life.

According to the link, only if you were dumb enough to use their services and lose money. Not like they are sending a check to anyone who got robo called.

Game over son. You'll get these for the rest of your life. I now get Rachel plus Life Alert solicitations.
Apparently these stupid fricks have no idea who Marcus Aurelius is and they didn't balk at my address of
100 Ceasars Palace
Rome, Italy 30022

You have no fricking idea how this works. Once you are on the list they call from 1000 different spoofed numbers from all over the country. You could never block them all. I've had to clean my block list twice because it got full.

Got my first call from her today too!
Blocked contact, hopefully she doesn't have a bank of numbers.
I wonder if those behind it got access to the stolen Anthem data?

I don't answer numbers I don't know. If it's important, they leave a message; otherwise, I don't care.
