Complaint 250929 Details

I had received a call from these idiots ("The US Department of Currency") a couple days ago & just chit-chatted with the Indian guy for 21 minutes. When I asked (nicely) to be put on their DNC list, the guy started cussing at me & told me he would "call me back every day!" June 15 (today) I got another call from the same number (a different Indian guy), so I decided to burn up as much time as I could while giving him absolutely no information whatsoever. It seems they're not allowed to hang up until the customer does, because I was able to spend 31 minutes on the phone with the guy this time. Again, I was cussed out profusely when I asked to be put on the DNC. I guess he was hoping I'd hang up. I kept asking him how much he got paid an hour and he finally responded "many Lakhs!" (which refers to units of currency used in India & Pakistan), though he said he was calling from Washington DC. When asked to speak to a supervisor, he claimed to be one. He asked why was I laughing, and I replied "Because you're doing such a terrible job at this!"
