The one thing that I've found to get these people to remove from their lists for a while is to hit option #1, wait for the "real" person to answer, take a breath and scream in their ear so loudly I know it causes pain for them.  Other people I've talked to about this said they used air horns in the same manner.  My logic is that anyone who works for a scam company deserves to have a little souvenir for their willingness to behave as a sociopath--some pain and loss of hearing.  I noticed a decrease in calls from Heather and her friends after I began doing this.  The only down-side is my poor dog began to shown signs of fear each time the phone rang.  

I keep receiving calls from this number and pressed "1" to speak to an Agent. I got an Agent who asked me if I had more than $2,000 in credit card debt. I responded that I was calling to be removed form their "Do Not Call" list. She immediately hung up on me.

Now, I have called the number appearing on my caller ID several times over the past month. It asks me if I want to be added to the "Do Not Call" list and I press "1".Iit tells me that my number will be removed within 72 hours. However, it has been well over 45 days! I have heard that i can sue people who are abusive like this. I am researching it because I also know they get fined for each call they make after the initial DNC has been made to them.

Got a call at 10:12 AM today.   There was an automated message saying final time to get a better interest rate on my credit card.  So I press 1. Wait about a minute of silence, and then a man answers.  "I see you would like a better interest rate on your credit cards today",  So I ask "which card are you calling about?"  He said "Your Visa, Mastercard Discover card, then hung up.   Figured I would get an email if it was from the real issuers since I do a lot of on-line stuff with them.  After reading this, it looks like another round of scams just in time for the holidays.   Always ask, never give out info.

How do you get them to stop calling?

final call (ho! Ho!) to lower interest rates on cards?

Good for you.  When there is time, they get the same treatment from me.

Just got a call from them as well on credit card rates.  Usually get at least one call a week.  Phone indicates it's coming from Seattle, but that's it.  Reverse look-up doesn't work.  I tried to talk to someone 5-6 months ago.  Was on hold for 15 minutes (thought it would be worth it if they'd remove our #).  When the live person came on the line, I told them I wanted our # removed.  Like above, they hung up on me.

These calls need to be blocked or stopped this is crazy. Scammers need tougher laws. like once caught go to prison for the rest of their scamming lives. Or never be allowed to have a phone period.

Got phone call about lowering interest rates on my credit card so I asked how she got my number and she said well all credit card companies share your information and they wanted to help get me a better deal...I. interrupted and said well that's funny I don't even have a credit card...she immedietly hung up on me. Get a real job like the rest of us you scum. As I'm sure your already sucking money from us through the government when there are honest people that actually need it.

I press one, then wait for a representative, who starts with "Hello, are you responding to our low interest rate offer?"  I say, "City Police Department, is this an emergency?"  Then, the woman hangs up quickly.  If they are going to waste my time, I will try to waste a bit of their time.  

They say the company is "CMA", a processor for credit card companies and want to give us a lower interest rate. In the past I have assumed they are generating leads for actual companies to later contact us. By using a marketing company, they may be able to avoid violating DNC and robo caller laws. If you provide information and are later contacted by a company, you should report THAT call to the FTC / DNC list as being connected with the original abuse.

But I am now wondering if they other message posters here are not correct about them scamming us out of our credit card information. I played along with the lady that answered and said I was interested. She wanted to make sure I had a valid credit card and asked me to read information from my card and statement. When I said I didn't have them with me she offered to call back. When I said she could give me her number, since I don't give out credit card information to people that CALL ME, she didn't say anything and hung up.

I think the scammers ARE getting more tricky, but we all need to keep reporting the abuse and scams to the Do-Not-Call list at 1-888-382-1222. It seems to take some time, but for the most part it does lessen or stop the junk calls.

And for those of you that want to mess with these people, you can try this: When you get an automated call, and have to hit a key to be connected, it works something like as if you called them. What that means is that the system that calls you then connects you to the scammer. And even if they hang up on you, your phone often stays connected and ties up one of their phone lines. Yes, you will hear a beep-beep-beep, but that is from their phone system trying to trick you into hanging up so they can free the line to make more calls. I left my phone on speaker for over an hour while working on my computer. I was able to tie up their line for that long. Finally I hung up, got their number with *69 and reported the call to the FTC.

I get so many of these calls that I take the phone off hook at 9am so they won't wake up my
semi-invalid wife.   This afternoon, within one minute of hanging the phone back up,
these (uncleanly illigitimates) called!   Just been back on hook less than a minute!

(so much for the:  "Do Not Call List" - eh?)

My first "Card Services" type scam call in almost two months.

Call type: Scam

I got a call at 10:45 a.m.  I was not home, and in any case, I do not normally answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.  This one said from Bank Card Services.  Have had these calls before.  Obviously, a scammer.  I am also on a Do Not Call list.  I am reporting the call to the FTC this time.  Getting sick of these people tying up my line.  

Called left no message, am on the do not call list.

The caller wanted to help me with my credit card and I respectively requested he take my number off of his calling list. He said "no". And I said, what? And he said no. And when I told him where to go, he hung up the phone before I could say the location.

Please post their office number online so i can call them when i have time to give them some pay back

we don't answer the phone anymore is we don't know who is calling.
