9712201966

I did the same thing, asked them directly to remove my name and she hung up without saying a word.

Receiving calls from this number, even late at night.  Selected the stop calling option but it continues.  Some type of credit card scam.

1-971-220-1966 is a SCAM.  I bet they are trying to get personal financial information.  The best route is the Federal Trade Commission to report a scam.  When people work so hard to hide their identity, they are not a legitimate business.  File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission by calling 1-877-382-4357.  They have jurisdiction over scammers and will be glad to take your complaint.  The more they get, the more likely they will take action.

I revived two separate calls from these jokers on 10/18/2011.
I filled a formal complaint with the Do Not Call Registry here: https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

People need to use this. As started here: http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2007/11/07 ... call-violations ...there HAVE been some successful prosecutions, INCLUDING the FTC's present pursuit of a company soliciting "lower Mortgages": Global Mortgage Funding

"Since the advent of the Do Not Call list in 2003, the FTC and the Department of Justice have brought 34 law enforcement actions against violators and collected $16 million in penalties."

Let's add these scammers to that list!

Please do not call my phone any more. I am not interested

I received a call from this number on 10/27 at 10:30 AM. I didn't answer when I saw the number on the Caller ID display. As others have posted - this is highly likely a scam...

I'm a retired Police Officer, and as such let me advise readers - NEVER give any personal and/or financial information to someone like these people. No matter how hard they press you to do so. They use smoke & mirrors, and whatever they think will get information out of you - don't fall for it!

And to those of you who don't have Caller ID, let me suggest you get it ASAP! It's worth the price...

Received the call, answered this time, dialed 3 to opt out of future calls, nothing happened, dialed 1, got a live agent to reduce my credit card balances, blah blah blah.  I asked her to remove my number from their call list, she hung up on me.  I turned around and filled out a complaint form on the Do Not Call website with the information they ask for on these computer generated calls, which are not legal regardless whether you are on the DNC list or not.  Complaint forms have to be filled out in order to stop these unwanted calls.

This is an automated calling system that keeps calling trying to sell some type of credit card consolidation. If you press the prompt and try and talk to a real person, they hang up on you as soon as they here you do not have over $3000 on credit card debt that you want to consolidate. They call several times a week.

The DNC does not work. It's made to make us feel better, but they do nothing. This "Scam" has been calling for years now and thousands have complained. The DNC is a joke!

No one talked when I answered the phone.

I received yet another call from these scam artists this morning (1138 hrs.) Prerecorded message from "Rachel of Card Holder Services" calling about my credit card but that there was nothing wrong with my account but I had to contact them about lowering my interest rate, yadda, yadda, yadda. In the past, I've pressed the number to be removed with no success. I've told them directly to remove my number because I'm on the DNC. They don't care. This time when I pushed the number to talk to someone I asked her why they persist in calling people who are on the do-not-call list. She was laughing and making some comment to someone other than me as she hung up the phone in my ear. I've reported these people to the FCC repeatedly and I never have any luck because the FCC is less than worthless when it comes to enforcing their own laws. By the way, if it isn't already obvious, these people are NOT from your credit card company and you'd be an idiot to give them ANY information about you, your credit cards, or your financial situation. Anyone who blatantly and repeatedly ignores the DNC is obviously NOT looking out for your best interest.

It won't work and all you did was confirm for them that they reached a "good" telephone number, ie a number connected to a live person who is also willing to fall for their tricks.

I get this same caller only with different numbers once or twice a week. Clearly scammers. Reporting to DNC.

Another lowerinterest offer . Left long message on machine.

Got another anoying call from these people - 971-220-1966 and 305-304-9999. When I asked what credit card they were associated with - they hung up.

SCAM

I have done exactly this! Given them fake credit number and other info, and kept them online for about 10 minutes.  When I finally revealed what I'd done, I suggested they quit calling or I'd keep wasting their time if they did.  I did this about 2 months ago.  I've only gotten 2 calls since then.  Before that I was getting 4-5 a week.

They're part of a larger scam going under the names of PacTel and Pacific Telecomm=both fake. They are already under investigation and the FTC can and will track where the calls are being generated from. Each report strengthems the case against these scumbags. Get even and turn them in!

And if you scumbags happen to be reading this- you can't violate international trade agreements and hide in India, pal. You're connecting through American communication systems that can track you down. For the right price someone is going to betray you.
