Loan modification scam to get you to keep calling back!

They don't want to sell you a Loan Modification, they want you to call them back! This is the modern day cell phone scam. Time to unplug the USF and call the State Bar and Report them! You and your phone taxes, the first part of the payoff is the US Government, it takes the Universal Service Fund (AKA Al Gore TAX) from you on your phone bill. Iowa, last year, was the recipient of $86.5 million from the USF. The USF pays for maintenance and improvements to those local telephone plants, in addition to subsidizing user fees for local residents. The cost basis to provide service in those communities is dramatically lowered.

The second subsidy is the tariff itself. Telephone companies participate in the NECA Access Fee Pool. The NECA publishes a tarrif, which each company participating agrees to use, and then they split the revenues. The termination charges for those tarrifs are a significant source of revenue for the local phone companies. And, because they call from a rural (712 area code), the charges are often steeply higher than to terminate in an urban setting.in the major us cities, you might expect to pay 6 to 8 tenths of a cent per minute for termination. The NECA tarrif is closer to 3 whole cents. Arbitrage the subsidized rural rate against your costs and, presto, you've got a winner!
So what they are banking on is that you call the caller ID number back and presto you get DNC services. You have originated the call and the termination charges are billed back to your cellular provider. It is like you have sent the Nigerian 419 spamer your account number (you cell number) and cash ($ when you pay your cell phone bill) as well.

But wait there is more, now that you have identified your self as proven call back client, that is you took the independent action of calling therefore playing into their arbitrage scam you can be counted on again next time. So, you will be called again.
Who looses: T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular, and Sprint they pass those losses (um charges) on to your phone bill.

GOD BLESS AMERICA what a scam...

Now for the legal news. Here is the law that is being broken. I am sure there is also wire fraud, mail fraud as well as conspiracy.
