234-567-8900

They hang up before answering.

The caller only got as far as saying "Hi, I'm Rachel". I'm ashamed to say I used two words - the second was "off". Hope they don't keep calling

Hello,

I have gotten a half-dozen calls from 234-567-8900 lately, and today, for the first time, they left a message. Something about renewing my eligibility to lower my interest rate... the beginning of the message is chopped off, so I don't know if they say who they are. Their message says to presse one to renew, three to cancel...

Sounds like a possible phishing scheme... beware.

P.S. this is probably hackers who tamper the number displayed on caller ID, i.e. they can probably set it to what they want. I doubt there is really any number with the 234 call type...

Hi AndyG,

I talked to my phone provider and they told me that there was no way to stop the calls as they are not sure where the call is coming originationg or who they are coming from.  If you are in Canada, you can add your phone/cell number to the national do not call list (https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/verins-chkreg-eng).  It takes a month before your number is added.  The companies are not allowed to call you UNLESS you are a client of theirs.  If they are a charity organization, they can still call as that is how they make their money.  I added my number to the list as that is the best solution that Bell gave me.

they keep calling offering low interest rates.... DO NO GIVE UR CREDIT CARD INFO

I answered the phone, there was silence for 10 secs then they hung up.

AREA CODE IS FROM AKRON, OHIO

yeh are they rude or what? The scam, yes offshore, phone company and mounted police (Phonebusters) cant do anything. Seems they trying to sell us a credit service worth 6-700$ to be charged on our credit card. Police told me to watch my future bills and to call them if i find anything. Also reported the call at Bell Canada and asked to keep a note in my file ...in case i suddenly find a great friend in Bouthan or the Maldives... After the 10 call i did press 1 to speak to an «agent» and they had my phone number and probably my name also so beware!!!
Super fishing and probably identity theft.

Lower your interest rate....SCAM...........

recording said that it was an offer to reduce my credit card interest rate.  it was my final notice, so i had to act now.  Call was from Ohio and I am in Canada

i get calls from this number too i gets very annoying after a while, do people not realise you can go on the internet and find out who or what has been annoying you

I hate these types of calls, I get them at work just about everyday. How in the world can we stop these jerks from calling? On www.whitepages.com the name comes up as Bob F. Boobers, how orginal!

That is funny, because I am in Ohio and it said that it was coming from Canada.

It doesn't work with these type of calls, believe me I have tried.

why can there not be something done bout these idiots that keep harrassing people

Me, good job on trying to get information, but I agree with Homer that these guy are probably making up an official sounding name. It is likely that the NFA group are not the one making the call. But you could call the NFA group and describe the phone call you received and from their response discern if they are indeed cold calling. If it is not them, they should be concerned that someone is falsely using their name and want more information.

Just received a call from  number 234-567-8900 wanting to offer lower interest rates.  I just hung up as this was calling me at work or to whoever they got at my work number.  Came up with the number and unknown name.

I wish thses people would get a life and leave those who do alone.

me i dont have a crédit card and they call me for i take payment for a crédit card !!! but i dont have a crédit card lol its werd!!!
