Carmen(not rachael) from cardholder services

4/4/15  SATURDAY 2PM - MSG RECORDS OVER ANSWERING MACHINE MSG - FEMALE ROBO VOICE - LOWER MY INTEREST RATE - LAST CALL.  HAVE A NICE DAY.

We get calls regularly from Consumer SVCS, we have asked to be put on their do not call list and the calls continue.

WARNING--BEWARE!! These callers are   B I G   credit card criminals, known as the card service scammers! Under NO circumstances, give these lowlifes your credit card number, or you will regret it forever!

blocked call so the call goes into scam mail automatically, but they don't ever give up.

This number called my DNC listed landline on 04/04/15 at 1422 hours.  Looks like "Carmen" from the scam artists who call themselves "card member services" and similarly vague names has herself a new, illegally spoofed phone number. Big surprise. I assume enough naïve people are falling for this notorious scam for them to continue with it.  I just immediately hang up and then block the number.  After a period of time, the scam artists will spoof yet another phone number and I'll have to block that one too.  And so on and so on.  May lightning fry all their technology and them with it.

Consumer SVCS are starting to call me every day now. Same name (mostly) different #.
I can block up to 25 #'s but they can spoof billions of #'s.
They spoofed my name and my # a few times and that really pissed me off.
My phone service with CenturyLink will not allow me to block my own # from calling me.
I added the SIT tone for a disconnected # to the beginning of my voice mail message.
One would think that this should help but not cure the problem at hand.
This is like fighting a forest fire with a squirt gun.

The current phone technology needs to be improved so that number spoofing can be disabled.
All calls made should require a verification of authenticity using some kind of reverse call tracing method.

they call all the time , I stay on and talk with somebody to tell them I was on a no call list.  They hung up on me.

Got the call. Didn't pick-up. It'll go onto the blacklist.

Ask your phone company to start a robocall blacklist.  If enough of their customers ask, maybe they'll make a change.

They call me periodically. I already recognize that recorded voice and message and hang up at once. Last time they called me today, on April 9. I'm going to report them at the National Do Not Call Registry at https://www.donotcall.gov/
although don't have too many hopes that it will help.

Just received a call.  Did not pick up as did not recognize number.  Seems I don't pick up most of my calls anymore as they are all selling something or scams or robo political calls.

The phone rang twice and then stopped. This is typical of the robo-calls.
When I complain to members of Congress about these calls that transmit spoofed phone numbers to Caller ID, I am told that there is nothing they can do to trace the actual sources.
That is a crock!
If the President of the United States was threatened by one of these unwanted callers, you'd see just how fast the source would be tracked down!
The problem is that the big telephone companies are making money hand over fist with all of these long distance robo-calls and they don't WANT the problem stopped.
And guess who donates loads of money to these legislators' campain funds? The big phone companies, that's who.
Until this scam is exposed for what it is, with the telephone companies and members of Congress being held complicit, you and I are going to continue to have our privacy invaded by criminals who couldn't care less about any 'Do-Not-Call' list!

Will refer to no mo ro bo.  Called here and nobody there.  Guess we got lucky.

I have been getting calls from this number, caller claiming to want to lower my credit card interests rates. I have never owned a credit card and have repeatedly told them this, asking (and demanding) to be removed from their call list. They hang up on me, just to call me again later in the day or the following day. Today I again asked to be removed from the call list. The woman asked for personal information, claiming she needed it to remove me from their call list. I refused, stating she just needed to remove my number. She said it would make it easier to remove me from the call list if she had my information. I told her I wasn't worried about making her life easier, I just simply wanted my phone number removed from the list. She said she wasn't interested in making my life easier either and that I would get a call from them every single day! Then she hung up on me. I tried calling the number back, just to see if it would be possible to contact a person or not. No. It's just a pre-recorded message saying to press 1 if you want your number removed from their call list. Well that recording sure didn't need any of my personal information to supposedly remove my number, so why would the woman I spoke with need my personal information to remove my number?

The FTC consumers complaint line says to not answer the phone if you do not recognize the number and NEVER call back or push any buttons. This only confirms that they reached a live number which will be added to their database and sell to other scam artists. Call the FTC at 1-877-4357 and file a complaint . They have an ongoing investigation in progress and the more numbers they have the better their chances of getting a "real" number instead of a spoofed one

RoboCall to lower credit card rates... AS IF that will EVER happen!  Not in this corrupt country.
By the way, the phone companies KNOW exactly who's making these calls.  They'll loose money if they stop them.
And if forced to stop them, they'll just raise our rates above the obscene amounts they charge us now!
It doesn't matter how you vote... unless you're a corporation with a team of lobbyists you're nothing but a human battery feeding the MATRIX!
Settle in for the ride and take the Blue Pill. We can't handle the truth! The evil Corpogovernment isn't going away any time soon.  Everything will just get worse and worse until suicide is at an acceptable level, or we have 50% of the world's population in our jails.
*hums the theme song from the movie "Brazil"*

Calls daily on our machine... Finally answered and asked to be on DNC list. A$$hole said, just making sure you are still alive, then hung up on me. Another call today...

(323) 943-1869 Robo call recorded 15 April 2015 ("Carmen at Cardholder Services...reduce your rate...consider this your final notice..." Credit Card SCAM)
Caller ID: "V0415151515550042" (based on date and time so no two recipients see the same Caller ID)

Also called recently from: (347) 773-3216 <> (206) 582-7956 <> (716) 258-3152 <> (757) 216-1981 <> (404) 381-1115 <> (407) 412-3021 <> (615) 469-0355 <> (256) 801-0065 <> (205) 632-0015 <> (361) 271-4999 <> (208) 293-8933 <> (361) 632-0015 <> (804) 642‑8078 <> (520) 222-8448 <> (515) 207-3384 <> (717) 322-4291 <> (321) 209-6393 <> (305) 368-8492 <> (570) 983-3206 <> (570) 983-3796 <> (406) 477-3151 <> (518) 278-0335 <> (518) 278-0333

"Carmen" calling me back using a secondary call number after I blocked their primary calling number. I'm experimenting. Normally, I don't bother to block their calls because I recognize the number and ignore it. But by blocking now, I'm forcing them to disclose new secondary numbers when they call me back which I immediately report on web sites like this to help readers, like you.

The recording of this "lower your rate" call is exactly the same past calls but from a new number to avoid call blocking. The recorded message is their usual patter (see below) followed by a 7 second pause, then they say "good bye" and disconnect. when I failed to press any buttons.

Their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethics, doesn't it?

Here is a transcript of their latest offering:

[female voice] "Hello, this is Carmen at Cardholder Services calling in reference to your current credit card account. It is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate. Please consider this your final notice. Press the number 1 now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate or press the number 3 to discontinue further services. Thank you and have a great day."

[7 second pause]  [female voice] "Good bye".

Credit Card Services calls me almost every day.  I have filed over 50 complaints against this company with the FTC but is pretty much a waste of time since the FTC cannot do anything to put these scammers out of business.  Although I never answer these calls it is a hassle to stop whatever I am doing and go to the phone to answer it only to find it is Credit Card Services calling.  Nothing but harassment.  I have written to my Congress Representative about this matter.  Congress needs to pass a law that prevents companies like this from spoofing their numbers.  With today's technology I cannot believe the phone companies cannot trace these calls.  If the FTC is not going to do anything to stop these scam calls then just do away with the Do Not Call List.

I agree.   I was also advised by the do not call Registry not to call anyone back, answer the call, or press one or whatever number they tell you to be removed. This only indicates they have reached a live number and will either continue to call or pass your number onto iother scammers.
