Tank you for this idea. I will start using it today.

Get this several times per day.  I don't pick up and keep hoping that they give up and go away.

Same thing. . . . I pressed 1 to tell them to remove me, and the woman who answered spoke so fast I said that I didn't understand a word she'd said ... she promptly hung up on me.

202-351-3916  This number contacts us every day and they hang up as soon as I answer.

THE VALIDATION WILL NO ALLOW ME TO REPEAT THEM

Got a call from these today at 3:36 pm ET.  I let it go through to the answering machine.
Listening in and heard a voice start to say something, but they hung up once they realized that it was my machine that answered. Not sure what the call type was, but considering all of the replies here, it most likely was to lower my rates.

Here's something I tried with a different nuisance call.
I answered "Hola?" and then when they started to speak I said "No Habla Englais".
The caller said he understood and hung up.  Haven't heard from them since.
BTW, that's about all of the Spanish I know.

Also, adding them to your TelCos blocked call will only just fill it up.
These scammers change phone numbers as often as Leona changes her shoes.

I received this call on my cell phone in 716 area code today. I did not answer the call. I let "out of area code" calls I don't recognize go to Voicemail. No Voicemail no loss.

Called cell phone. I didn't pick up, they didn't leave a message.

If you have placed the called number on the donot call registry, file a complaint at this site.  https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

Same as others calls several times a day lower int. rates this is last chance again asktobeputon no all list and on the.do not call list from the gov.

Nothing stops these annoying calls.  I file complaints with the National Do Not Call registry complaint div. all the time.  Some days it is 4 or 5 times a day.  I will continue to do it each time they call.  I think if everyone filed a complaint each time, the agency would be flooded with calls and the government would be moved to do something.  Until then, it will continue.

I continually receive calls from this number.. They are unwanted and unneeded... Please advise .. I would like the calls to stop.

I keep a whistle by the phone. I press the number to speak with someone, then blast 'em when they pick up.

For two years I have been filing complaint after complaint with the FCC and FTC and
have gotten no where. I think I will start filing my complaints with my elected officials
(Senators & Congress Members) Maybe if we threaten to not vote for them maybe
then they'll do something

Former Acorn Crooks now working for the DNC ripping off credit card info pocketing most and sending a token to the Obama campaign so that they are political in nature and can legally harass people for money. Plus they are the same tribe as Holder and thus safe from prosecution.

Caller disconnected 1/2 way thru answering machine message but left phone # & Washington, D.C. call on caller i.d.  I never answer calls unless I know caller - it's my way of getting even as I will never be able to stop scammers.

Sick people here stop

Pressed 1, told the female who answered that they needed to put my number on the do not call list. She said they didn't have one and I would have to call my credit card company. I asked how they knew anything about my credit card status if they didn't know what card I had and she called me a "Jerkass" and hung up..

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."

Recorded call to say they could help lower interest rates on credit card payments. I stayed on the line to speak to a real person and tell them I was going to report them to the National Do Not Call Registry and they hung up on me. PLEASE make it STOP!

Thank you for the thorough report on the company who called me. I hope more people will report them and they will eventually be shut down.
