Calls my joins at lunch

Call received on my cell phone about 40 minutes ago, no message left

Received call a few minutes ago on my cell phone. Don't need a lower interest rate. Don't have a balance. DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE THESE CALLS AND ESPECIALLY ON MY CELL PHONE.

Called - tried to call back but "disconnected" then busy - suspect a scam call

illegal robo call for credit card holders

The callers are the drug-addicted "card services" scammers, who call us, pretending to be associated with our credit card companies, in an attempt to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers, so they can rip us off. People that have given their card number to these junkies have suffered severe financial losses. Beware of these lowlifes, and warn others, before they are cheated!

Prank call; no message

I constantly get calls from this prick'' They are in Arlington ,Va. on N,Jackson st. On 7th st'.  I can't get the name for sure? Maybe ? [Townsend ]
Did you have a way to reverse lookup the number? I would love to scare the [***] out of them! Or even catch them.

Have received calls from this number on my cell phone.  I set this number up in my contacts and then blocked the number.  Hoping that will stop them.  They left no message.

"Credit card services", same old scam type call which comes in under many different numbers.  I  successfully blocked a previous number, 4069802030, and now will try to block this one (7038446828)  They hang up quickly if you engage them. Sometimes I play along with them for a while to waste their time.  If you call these numbers you are told they are not in service or not a working number.

The "card services" scammers (actually many different groups of lowlifes, who all use basically the same script in order to gain access to people's credit card information) use all spoofed (falsified) numbers to hide their true identities, and locations, to avoid prosecution. Reporting the numbers as a violation of the do not call list etc. "may" be of some help in eventually tracking them down, shutting them down, and possible incarceration, but don't count on the calls stopping any time soon, as this scam has been going on for many years. In my opinion, the best way to deal with it is through spreading the word of the scam to those who are vulnerable, and eventually eliminating the scammer's sources of income, making it unprofitable for them to continue.

Someone tried to call me.  I did not answer. I tried to return ths call but was unable to return it.

Called my DNC work cell, as it is a work cell, I thought it may be important considering some things I was working on causing the possibility that somebody not from my address book could be calling, boom, wrong, they got me, so I anticipate a boatload of these for the next months. Same apparent caller calling from 412-425-2734 called my home about the same time probably not a coincidence as these clever robo caller spoofers can do anything. One thought, the NSA  can lock in on anything transmittable but our FCC cannot stop these hooligans'.

How/why is this allowed to continue? Don't the Do Not Call cops have any way to to put an end to these spoffed numbers? Can't the phone company people do something? This is agrivating to the point of an otherwise normal person wanting to do violence to these pricks when caught!

This guy called and identified himself as with "Cardmember Services" to lower the interest rate on my credit card. I knew exactly this was the same scammer that has been calling me so this time I actually recorded the phone call AND have his voice so I can report it to the FTC and authorities. When I said ' wait, I am confused, when i pay my monthly credit card bill to Chase, I pay it to "cardmember services"...are you the same bank?" the guy actually said "we've been contracted by banks to help you lower your interest rate"...So when i asked hinm again, so are you with Chase cardmember services, just so I could keep him on the phone longer as I was recording it, he got REALLY REALLY nasty and said "Just go figure it out yourself!!!" then hung up. I will find out who this guy is...and how he is running this business and WHO he is connected with thru sources I know. But its time the FTC stepped in to shut this scammer down!!!

Please consider it your CIVIC DUTY to waste these basturds' time.  Keeping them on the line as long as possible runs interference for your fellow Americans and helps minimize those who get scammed. PLUS you can have FUN in the process!

Rachel of Credit Card Services (CCS) is the FTC's enemy number one: 200,000 fricken complaints each month.  Probably costs us taxpayers millions per month to process.  CCS has scammed your fellow citizens out of $30 million dollars.  UNCLE SAME WANTS YOU to help slow down these harassing crooks.

Here's a protocal to get you started.  (NOTE: four months of not ever answering calls from numbers I didn't recognize didn't stop this nuisance.  If you're getting these calls, you have been DRAFTED.)  So PLEASE DO YOUR PART:

PHASE I:

1.  Play along, acting like an interested prospect.  Give them fictitious data, including perhaps a combination of two different credit card numbers.

2.  Be patient and respectful to reel them in.  Speaking fairly slowly and clearly since these scammers will hang up on you for whatever reason (if you're chewing food, if you put them on speaker phone, if there's a slightly bad connection, etc.).

3.  Upon request, I give them my credit card company's real telephone number so that they can waste their time calling while I hold.

Once they've put you on hold, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES:  a) Put them on hold to keep the line open and go on with your day or, what I love ... b) Wait to deploy the protocal's second phase.

Typically they come back on the line and want to review the info I've given them.

PHASE II:

4.  Sometimes I give them the same credit card info with two of the numbers transposed, thus causing them to call my credit card company yet a second time.  They often hang up right after calling the credit card company again.  HowEVER, if they're dumb enough to come back on the line (tee hee) ...

5.  Then I let 'em have it (and this is the FUN part).  When they say that my info didn't work, I respond, "Well maybe that's because H-O-O-O-O-N-N-N-K-K-K [from my air horn; the best $6 I ever spent] maybe you've been PRANKED!  So please (now in my Cookie Monster voice) call back tomorrow if you want more bullshot.  Eat shot and die, you predatory human garbage!"

The purpose of this abrupt Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde transition is to enrage and demoralize the enemy, and boy does it ever work.  Oh, how it pesses them off to realize you were laying in wait, setting a trap.  And NOW, hardy-har, they're the butt of your joke rather than you being the victim of their harassment.  Make it apparent that pranking them is your Number One idea of an uprorious good time, which is exactly why you're inviting them to call again (which they will regardless).  This actually DOES become fun; trust me.  In fact, I try NOT to miss their calls.  : )

Incidentally, if you get really lucky you might even persuade them to give you a REAL number at which to call them back.  Then please post it here so that the rest of us harassees can call them ad naseum.  I was able to shut down their operation for a whole afternoon by calling from both lines of two cell phones and three lines from each of two office telephone stations.  Ten calls at once, baby, for HOURS.  Then they changed that number; boo hoo.  So please try to get us a new number, SOLDIER!

They have called me a few times.. one time I answered and asked him what credit card company they worked for and he avoided the question. I told him if he calls me again, I will track down the "company" and sue them because i have asked them to stop calling me.. Today while I was shopping I missed a call from this scammers.. I am a little sick of them calling me!

Make real sure your phone's ringer is off in church or at a conference. I'm usually very good about it, with the exception of today, when these morons called.

Ann called and had one special deal for credit card crap.  We have been getting these crap calls for the last few years.  I believe our Senators and Reps. have an interest, stock, in the telephone companies or they would pass laws that require those filty Ann's to pay us if we received their unwanted calls.  Simple soulution.  Stop telemarketers from calling.  Put them on a slow boat to India with no food and let them drink salt water.Half a tank of fuel and the boat stops in the middle of the ocean.  NO MORE TELEMARKETERS!!!!!!!  They sale junk we do not need nor want.  Their business has nothing to do with the economy except to make people angry.  Useless to file a claim with the FCC.  I filed so many claims against Card Services that the FCC asked me not to file any more because it was a waste of time.

The card service scammers   WILL   "service" our credit cards,   BUT,   when they finish "servicing" them, they will have no available credit remaining!
