I have recently started receiving the phone calls as well. Today, alone, I've received about ten (10) calls between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. As I have registered my phone number with the Do Not Call national registry, I do not answer 800 numbers, and screen the phone calls of any unknown numbers.
Thus, after having received ten calls from this number, having never received a message, I decided to do some research. My research has brought to this site, as well as countless others, of countless people all having the same complaints. Therefore, I didn't hesitate to file a complaint with the <a href="
http://www.ftc.gov">FTC</a>, <a href="
http://www.fcc.gov">FCC</a>, <a href="
http://www.attorneygeneral.gov">Attorney General</a>, <i>and</i> <a href="
http://www.donotcall.gov">donotcall.gov</a>.
In addition to reading the multiple complaints, and filing my own, I decided to search for the number using the website <a href="http://inter800.com">http://inter800.com</a>. The information I found is as follows:
Your Query "800-424-5004" produced these results:
Company Name State Number Categories
Chase DE 1-800-424-5004 Bank
This information is quite interesting, as all the complaints that I have read where the Called Party has answered the phone, reported that the callers have been of Indian descent. However, as you can see, the phone number is registered in Delaware.
Also, very interesting is that the company is listed as Chase, much like the multiple complaints have reported. However, I do not currently, nor have I ever had an account with Chase.
I would suggest that those that have not already, follow suit and file complaints with the FTC, FCC, your local Attorney Generals, donotcall.gov and the Better Business Bureau, as the behavior of said business does, in fact, qualify as harassment, and it <i>is</i> illegal.
