222-000-4444

received call - no message.

I did not recognize the number, I did not answer the call. Who knows...?

commercial about lowering your credit card rates

Just received a call from this number.  Did not recognize number therefore I didn't answer.  They did not leave message.

Rang but did not leave a message

This has to be a spoofed number, just look at the number.  If you get called by this, or a number like 123-456-7890 you are probably just wasting your time by picking up.

Got a call from 222-000-4444 also and they didnt leave a message. If it really it a commercial about lowering my credit card rates, this company should know how to leave a message.

I just received a call from this number.  If it is a number about lowering credit card rates they are calling the wrong person...I do not have a single credit card!

There trying scam you into lowering APR Credit cards.  I told them india'n basterds I will fly over and break there nose...  They refuse to give me any info about there company...

Me too, did not answer. Started getting hit by multiple numbers yesterday.  Is the do not call list broken?

Ya i have been getting blitzed by different numbers which the same message about credit cards. This is on my cell phone... How did this tart to happen?

Lower your credit card call, I am on a do not call list, Quit calling me

Call, but no message.

Recorded message:  "Hi this is Samantha from credit card services....." blah blah blah, "your rates may be increasing" blah blah blah "...you may be able to avoid this" blah blah blah "press the 9 key to speak to a representative"  blah blah blah (message repeats again then disconnects).

I answered the call and  spammed 0 to get their operator. When they picked up, I politely asked why they were calling me since I am on the do not call list. The telemarketer said "uuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [***] you" and hung up. Pretty sure its not legit lol

The do not call list is not broken.  Some firms do not abide by it.  This is one of them.  

They use a LOT of numbers, such as:

303-249-9700
760-680-6895
513-417-0498
612-222-7091
785-207-6317
619-306-9089
617-390-4562
802-230-6357
515-421-5843
222-000-4444

Reminder to report these people to the FCC.  They have a lot of numbers they use so it's hard to block their calls.  If enough people report them, maybe some agency will nail them.

I think their website is:  http://www.americansnumberonechoice.com/

I have received more than 150 (I have them documented) calls from these scum sucking criminals. I have filed more that 50 complaints with the FTC however due to the fact that they hide behind spoofed numbers I doubt that they will ever stop any of them. They ask for up front fees and charge your credit card without performing any services.

A special thanks to a reply from MGD at dslreports.com which gives great insight as well:

"Some on your list have already been the subject of FTC action, such as Roy M. Cox of Castle Rock Capital Management. Not surprisingly, many are habitual repeat offenders, and are the subject of multiple FTC actions. FTC action is grossly inadequate in these cases. The millions of unsolicited "Heather" "Rachel" et all, Card Services robo calls will not begin to subside until these criminals are charged with Federal Felonies, are convicted and subjected to significant jail time.

Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC prohibits unsolicited calls for any kind of debt / interest rate reductions which require up front fees, period, and that is what these robo calls are about. The FTC civil actions have been nothing more than whack-a-mole interference. Which is why numerous individuals are the subject of repeated actions, despite signing prior agreements that prohibit future involvement. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future "telemarketing". The criminals sign off, then go right back to business. The entire operations are clearly criminal, intent to defraud, etc, and should be dealt with in criminal court and not by civil actions.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a short time.

If you are interested in obtaining useful tracking information on the callers, I suggest another angle in the conversations. Act very interested in the rate reduction scam, as you have multiple high interest cards with large balances. Tell them that you don't give out card numbers in response to unsolicited calls. However, tell them that if they provide you with a verifiable number that you will then call them back and provide the info.

Since many of the operatives work on commission they will provide direct contact numbers if they believe you are serious about completing the deal. Verified return phone numbers are an excellent tool in tracking the people behind the operations.

Many of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.

In a follow up post I will document one group associated with the Rachel "Card Services" and the pond scum, including a lawyer behind one of the operations. Follow the money ..... track the recipients ... and take a close look at the processors and banks involved."
