Call came today on my land-line from this number identified on caller ID as PacificTel.  The robo-caller indicated that I could have my credit card interest rate reduced, blah, blah, blah...that's when I hung up.  I returned the call on my blocked cell phone and gave them the land-line number when prompted to have my number removed.  I've never done this before, but I've keyed in the PacificTel numbers on DoNotCall.gov complaint site several times, and the calls keep coming.  PacificTel is the telephone company providing service to "Credit Card Services."  Some service.

Recorded message: "Time is is running out to reduce the interest rate on your credit card to 6.49%, press one to speak with a representative."  I pressed one.  A man came online and I asked what company I was speaking with.  His response was "Didn't you listen to the message?" I said "yes, now tell me who I am speaking with." He hung up.

Good advice.  I have a couple things to add.

Make sure you are on the FTC Do Not Call List (it is free).

When you get one of these calls go to their web site and file a complaint.  

It won't stop the calls to you (or immediately) but the volume of complaints filed with the FTC will spur them to open an inquiry is they get enough complaints.  So every complaint to the FTC is important.  The more complaints it gets also helps them push Congress to do something (I know a near impossible task when it comes to getting them to do something useful, but all you can do is try).

I called to remove myself from their calling list, but they continue to call every day.

Keeps calling recorded message

They have not called in months and started again today. I simply put the phone aside and let the computer speak with no one answering. After a few minutes I go back to the phone and hang up. They hung up several minutes ago. At least this keeps the computer tied up and it makes fewer calls per hour so somewhere down the line someone may not be called. I've been told it hurts them more than it does me as no one here hears the call. After a few times I don't hear from them for months!

I just got a call saying they have a letter about a pending legal action involving me and if I'd like to settle it out of court before it's filed with the county I should call their litigation department and mention the case number they gave me. I smelled a rat!!

Do not call or you are simple giving them info about you for them to do something underhanded with it. I am on the no call list and generally do not get nonsense phone calls, so they're already breaking some law.

It was the usual pre-recorded "we can reduce your rates" call.  This is a scam.  I just hung up immediately, then went online to donotcall.gov to file a complaint, then came on here to report it also.  Like someone else said--if they don't honor the official Do Not Call list, then why would they bother honoring their own, especially when they're just a bunch of scammers anyway.

Called, no message, string of numbers above the phone number.  No call list is a joke.b6n4

This number keeps calling my cell phone

Another [***]---one from Oregon this time.   Someone should give them a cement suite and dump them in the Pacific.

I am so tired of this

Caller ID displayed number and name, so I fell for it an answered.  Robo voice informed me that there were no problems with my account (what account?) but I should call them right away to lower my interest rates.

Offering discount interest rates on credit card balances which I don't have

Card Services - Another reduce your credit card rate telemarketer who is clearly in violation of the federal do not call list.

Called 4/5/12 at 1:02 PM.  Another scammer trying to get my credit card information.

"Lower credit card rates" robodialer scam left message a little before 4. We are on the state and federal do not call lists.

I get a lot of calls like this.  If I don't recognize the caller on my caller ID I just let it go to the answering machine.  This one doesn't leave a message. Any caller who is looking for you in particular will leave a message. You don't have to pick up every call that comes in.

Just got a call on my cell phone. Ignored it, they left a voicemail. Woman's voice robo-calling and in the middle of a sentence, all the voicemail said was "have a nice day." I would if these idiots would stop calling my phone number...

Thanks for the heads-up.  My number is now a DO NOT CALL!  They have been calling me for weeks but I never answered because I didn't recognize the number.  Hope this will take care of it.
