[Rhodes22-list] Credit Scams - Telemarketers - PITA

[Brad Haslett]

The days of easy credit is probably over - about damn time.  Am I the only
one getting calls from India from major credit card issuers promising free
money, babysitting for Cora, and easy sex?  These people are wearing me
out.  We have one credit card we use - used to be MBNA but now Bank of
America that pays a 2% rebate to Cora's Fidelity 529 College Savings Plan.
You have to work hard to keep them honest but we scam them out of $1500 a
year tax free because we keep them honest (called not carrying a balance and
auto-draft payment).  This is a wonderful plan if you have kids or grand
kids but you DO have to keep them honest.  Here's my bitch and observation;
are all the major bank credit card issuers turning up the heat to cover
their losses or do I just have a popular phone number?  I love it when banks
get in trouble.  As a borrower, been there done that.  When it happens to
them, my attitude is FU.
