866-790-5779

number dials several times a day. when picked up, it hangs up. When called back, it's just busy.

They call 5-6 times a day.  If there is someone on the other end they "REPRESENT" VISA...or your visa debit card.  They want you to sign up for a "free" 30 day trial of something (they speak too fast to tell) in exchange for "free" gifts.  I have asked them twice not to call, they get rude and want to hear every reason you don't want this offer instead of kindly hanging up

someone representing visa trying to get you to sign up for a free 30 day trial of something (they speak to fast to tell what you are getting)

As soon as we got our house number (last week), this number has been calling us 4-5 times a day, and then when we answer, no one says anything, and they even leave voicemails w/ dead silence, and then when we call back it's busy.

Same deal--4 calls a day, some as early as 6:45 am. When I ask them to stop calling, they hang up before I even finish.

I just got the exact phone call only they had my visa number.SCARY

Just called my boss on his firm line.  When I told him he was on a conference call he said he would hold, even though I told him it may be an hour or more.  He argued that he was willing to hold.  When I put the call on hold it disconnected.  Wish they would stop wasting my time!!  I have 4 other people I work for - can't wait until his number shows up again.

people call and hang up when you tell them to take you off their list.  Number calls 3 times a day and won't stop.

Calling at least 4 times a day. If we pickup, no one answers. We found a couple of unusual $1 charges on our credit card, which may be related. Scary is right.

same thing here.....no message and its busy when i call back...

This Number 866-790-5779 is on my caller ID from 3 to 7 times a day and they are a pain in the butt.  I'm on the National Do NOt Call list for all the good that does.

Guy leaves a message for Michelle, he says his name is Steven Kort, he is from the State Police and there is no problem but doesn't leave a number.  THE STATE POLICE HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

Someone called here tonight - same thing claiming to have our Visa number. When I told him we weren't interested, he started swearing and using vulgar language. I hung up on him and he has called our number three more times. One right after another. The 2nd time he called he continued to swear and use vulgar language. I have since found out that these types of calls are traceable by your phone company and will be notified to your local police dept. Certain restrictions apply, but you have to protect yourself, so I suggest contacting your phone company if it continues. I JUST DID.

Phone number for tracing phone # *57. Phone number will get recorded by your phone company.  Check it out.

Got a Call from 866-790-5779, a Telemarketing company (Could not get the company name), saying that they were calling from my Master Card's Rewards Department, and that they had some rewards and gifts for me. It was interesting listening to the script that they have, which they have modified from the past, and now is more professional, and more tricky.  

They are trying to push a couple of Membership programs to you.  They tell you that you don't have to pay anything to join, but at the end you find out that they are charging your credit card for "Shipping" the programs to you.

The first one, they promise you $100 Gas Voucher & a complementary 2 Round Trip tickets. There will be a grace period before they charge your card $29.95 for the first program which includes some medical discounts, then $19.95 for the second program which includes some legal services.

Then they'll upsell you to two more programs which are: EZ-Rate for unlimited Long Distance for $29.95 and EZ ID Recovery for an additional cost.  They will tell "Extremely Fast" that there is a shipping and handling cost to send you all these programs, and that you have some time to look over the programs and then you can cancell before the grace period so you don't have to pay the $29.95 for each program.  The Shipping cost amounts to $13 and change for your to review the programs.

The catch is that you cannot do anything with the vouchers and gifts that they promise you until you have been with the program for about 6 months, or you have accepted the memberships, and spent some money wiht them.
Then, once you accept, it is a pain in the rear to try to cancel these programs and services.

Sometimes the grace period is only 14 days from the day they ship the product, so if you don't get to your mail fast enough for whatever reason, guess what: You are hooked.

Here are some links that I found on these reports:

I hope this helps somebody either to decide to accept the programs, or to not waste their time answering the call.  I have not tried the programs or memberships, so I don't know if the services are for real, or they don't work.  You make the call.  You can also decide to block these calls from your telephone service provider.

They claim they are from my mastercard company.

They asked for me, called my wife a nasty [***] [***], said my debit card called them, lie I don't have a debit or master card or visa.

it is united marketing group UMG...they probe your acct for one dollar, then deduct once to twice monthly, charges from 9.95 to 19.95.....it is big scam  my wife and I got scammed for 279.00, but we finally got it back....be RUTHLESS with these people....you can win

Got three calls yesterday.  I answered once and dead silence on other end.  One call so far today.  Just called now.  I answered.  Asked for my husband.  Not home but they did talk to me.  Mastercard rewards has free gifts and wants more info to send them out.  I told them not interested and to take my number off their call list.

They still call wanting to speak to a person that does not live her....I just screen the calls and come on here and vent...Then delete them.Wasteing my time when I could be doing something else.Wonder how long before they get the message I am not calling them back????
