El Loco Toro

For the first time in months I received an automated telemarketer call at home. Ever since placing our phones on the National Do Not Call Registry last year, we have had few if any of these type of calls.

This one was unique...

"Don't be alarmed. This is the last chance to lower your interest. Press 1 to continue."

Don't be alarmed? That in itself is alarming.
Last chance to lower my interest?
On what?
My mortgage?
Car loan?
Credit cards?

Press 1 to continue. I hung up. And reported a complaint at the National Do Not Call Registry.

The name and number on caller ID? Toro Bravo LLC. 850-916-3033. A quick Google search show that Toro Bravo is a restaurant in Gulf Breeze, Florida that finds its name being abused by this telemarketing firm.
