Many calls and automated messaged and no chance to take off calling list. Finally got fed up and played along and set up fake appointment for some merchant card business. Of course didn't show, and they had my mailing PObox address. Got their mother company to call me to ***** and found out their real company name. They spilled their beans after I asked if this was an attempt to commit iden***y theft. It's US Bankcard center. http://www.gotousbc.com/ So now you all can go report them :D
