He’s wondering: Has Heather called you?

Heather drew Services accounts? Me too! I was so excited! It began with these words: “There is currently no problem with your credit card.” It was a good way to start the day. What would I say? “Currently, there are no problems with the marriage . “Currently, there is no problem with the intellect.” The possibilities are endless.

But rather than telling me that I could accompany my interest payments down if I did something or another, and my attention drifted away. She said I should be on “2″ if I wanted to be on the list by telephone. I pressed “2″ and suspended.

I must have done something wrong, because it once again. This time I pushed “1″ for a person to speak, and when I told her that I would be pushed “2″ without effect, he called my number and said he would make the list. End of story.

But Heather is not so easy to discourage. When she asked about one week later - with “Unknown Caller” appears in my Caller ID of the window remains - I cut “1″ and requested an interview with an officer. Employees at the other end asked, “Why?” I immediately felt guilty. Indeed, I did not really because our relationship a chance, I had? I quickly said that I am simply not heard from Heather. He said he would be my number on the list. I said that this approach does seem to work, and maybe I should talk to a supervisor, after all. It hangs on me.

Well, I am not crazy. I am almost crazy, but not entirely true. I had three times a madman, according to a code of courtesy with which my parents taught me naive, but it would not happen again. The next time, Heather is called once, it was not Heather - it was a few men “Financial Services”, but it reads in the same script. I breakthroughs “1″. If I am a person, I am very complained of the application, but not for long, because it depended on me.

I repeat: I am not crazy. I knew that there were two possibilities: (1), and their relationship Heather has a very, very bad case, the formation of an instruction manual, such as “At this point, remain on the customer, or ( 2) Heather and his criminal band. Quite a difference, and I must observe, as I mentioned. Given that I was a nachdenkliches this morning (I work at home, or rather, I rested home and think about Heather), and the phone rang with a number in the Caller ID of the window, with the state of origin, Florida, where my mother - In-law lives. Braced I m register in a particular type of conversation, and my preparation has proved surprisingly well placed to service calls, Heather. breakthroughs I “1″, asked to speak to a supervisor, and it hangs. Ha! J ‘I screamed. Little, they know that this time, I got a call-back number. But if I am elected, a host told me that it was not connected.

I am not crazy. I knew they were not separated, the number quickly. I knew that it is hiding behind a false number. This evasion tilted the balance in the criminal sense. So, I called the Vermont Attorney General’s Office / Consumer Protection Division. The nice lady, it has, in my information and talked about several complaints about Heather has had in recent times. I asked him how much they typically receive one week. She said: “I got about nine or ten o’clock this morning.”

Nine or ten. In a morning. Just in Vermont. And it is that the proportion of victims of the claim Heather, the trouble to track down the “Consumer Protection telephone complain. Least I felt alone in my anger, but I felt bad, because nothing happened. The Office of Consumer Protection lance complaints to the Federal Trade Commission, and if the FTC pursues Heather, any more than they begin. A quick Google “Heather accounts” screaming, revenue from all the country for several months, but the website of the FTC makes no mention of Heather, and gives no warning or report progress against them. I called the FTC, and not just my complaint, but also directly on my phone offering for the development, hoping that was all they needed - for some citizens to step forward. “Once all how it can be difficult to stop heating of this play? But when I called a closed loop of menu options with nothing to say to display the menu, I had become familiar with the exit verdrossen message.

Again. I have a new plan for the coming period. I will punch “1″ and calling Heather’s interest. I give unlimited of information about me that little information, a crime that can be used. If you were wondering, I want my answer.

In proving that I am a madman. I already have my answer. Of course, they are criminals. Naively, I can not accept the fact that I live in a world full of people for this kind of thing, and in a country with a federal agency to act, which are not, at their own expense, thus preventing to do so.

Imagine this: you someone to listen toes to reach your house in the night, the tent doors and windows, to see if they can, but if we call the police, nobody responds . Burglars provides the next night, you can call again for help, but nobody comes. This is modern life in the world of electronics. Your e-mail address and your phone, including people in the prison several times his fingers on your pockets in search of cash. If we look, it is not. But we have another way to pay the price of living with the knowledge of these invasions - Prices paid a hint of cynicism and despair.
