I thought I had gotten rid of them since I hadn't received a call in 3 months but today I got one.
this is what I sent to the FTC.
Recorded call said my "account" was overdue and that my service would be "cut off" today please press 1 if you wish to make any arrangements. They did not identify what account was overdue nor what company they were with! Sounded like a young girl and I heard giggles in the background.

I keep this link in my favorites and use it whenever I get a spam call

It has done a good job of limiting those calls so I guess it does help to put your number on the National Do Not Call list.

GREETING: The cited account is no longer pregnant. The baby was delivered, but there are issues. We have elected to adopt out the little alligator. (Such a cutie!) Your information and location are now in our system. Authorities will contact you latter in the day. It is suggested that you cooperate. It is further suggested that you pack a small bag. You may be away for some time. Nobody expects an infant alligator when they ordered, and were promised, a full size Nile crocodile. A full report has been forwarded to the Secretary General. cc: DDM/MTV/ADM (Dept. 3, Enforcement)

I got a scammer call at 9:00 one night from the income tax that I owed them $14,000 and they were going to take my motorhome if I didn't pay. I was as polite as I could be and told them where to go and that the income tax does not call at 9:00 at night. They recalled and got real nasty then I found out it was real and my wife some how got behind and did owe the $14,000. I payed the scammers and they went away happy.
