I've been looking for a Panasonic system that will block 250 callers ( seems like 250 or 30 is all that's available)  Any suggestions?

Rachael is trying a new tactic, I think.

As reported in the news media, the people (creatures) employed as telemarketers by the "card services" scammers are mainly drug addicts trying to cheat people in order to support their disgusting habit. Their main targets are the elderly and the gullible (although they are not picky--they will scam anyone they can). These 2 groups of vulnerable people should be made aware of the scam before they are taken advantage of.

I have had this same call several times; each time I get it, I string them along for as long as I can, and try to get as much info out of them as possible, as this is a completely fraudulent scam. Basically, it is an attempt to get your cc info (ie they ask for card number, expiry, 3-digit code on back, balance, limit, last payment, etc), in order to use your card fraudulently or for identity theft purposes. As soon as you ask too many questions, or they attempt to verify the bogus card info given and it doesn't check out, they hang up. I've call the local authorities about these calls. They are aware of them, and have been trying to track them down, clearly to no avail. On one of the more recent ones, I got into it a bit with one if the supposed supervisors that was brought on to the call (my questioning was beyond the first half-wit I was on with)...asked if he's aware of what they're doing (ie ripping unsuspecting and trusting people)...how he can sleep at night, etc...and wow, did he get wildly belligerent!! Best thing to do is just not answer or hang up immediately (I've tried asking to be removed from their call list...right! Like that's gonna work...they're crooks!!)

AHHHH  so the bi*** no moved to Canada...  I see she still has my numbers to harass me everyday...  Heather if I find you I will kill you....

What's going on?
Why can't something be done about these calls?
Let us take a look at a few things that might influence the inability to stop these calls.

Caller ID:
1). Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
Call blocking:
1).  I personally use Verizon Wireless which allows me to block 5 numbers for 90 days, unless I pay them an additional premium fee which will allow blocking 10 numbers.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
2).  Upgrade my simple non data flip phone to a smart phone and add in data, download an app that will block calls. Since they have called me using more than 160 unique numbers in the last year, this would seem to be the only option.
Result: This generates more money for your phone company.
This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.

The banking system:
1).  The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a short time.
Result:  The fees generated means more money for the banks.
This may have something to do with the banks inability to stop these criminals.

The FCC, FTC and Do Not Call registry:
1). The FTC is only allowed to collect fines, not impose criminal penalties. These companies hide their money in overseas bank accounts and claim that they can't pay the fines.
Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant prison time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future telemarketing. The criminals sign off, then go right back to business as usual. These same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine.
Result:  The FTC and FCC basically are saying 'Naughty - naughty, now go out and play nice'.
Solution:  Take away government funding for the FTC and FCC. If they want to impose fines then make them self sufficient and use the fines for their operating budget.

Why hasn't the FBI used the RICO act and gone after these organizations? On October 15, 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961?1968), commonly referred to as the 'RICO Act', became United States law. The RICO Act allowed law enforcement to charge a person or group of people with racketeering, defined as committing multiple violations of certain varieties within a ten-year period. The purpose of the RICO Act was stated as 'the elimination of the infiltration of organized crime and racketeering into legitimate organizations operating in interstate commerce'. S.Rep. No. 617, 91st Cong., 1st Sess. 76 (1968). However, the statute is sufficiently broad to encompass illegal activities relating to any enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce.

It is a credit card type of call but it is s phishing, scammer.  Don't give them any information.  They are trying to get your credit cad number.  Was on the new here in Manitoba.  Don't ever change credit card information unless you phone your bank yourself and know it is legit.

Would you rather receive it on your toaster?  :-)

This number showed on my call display . I didn't answer it , but checked it out on Canada 411, no person or business with that number . Dug further , 250 Area Code is British Columbia ,Canada , 934 is Tahsis ,a small village on the West Coast of Vancouver Island .
Reading other posts on this site , I too have had multiple calls from all over the US about my credit card interest being lowered  . I hang up , next day, same thing ,only from a different number . Check out the number on reverse lookup , nothing .

Don't blame poor Sarah (if she even exists). The "card services" scammers use all spoofed (false) numbers. You can't go by what the caller id says because the "card services scammers can make up any number they wish to appear.

I am receiving these harrassing calls from credit card services.

Beware !! This is a Credit Card Scam from Tahsis, BC, Canada

I did receive phone call, no message on answering machine it's not the first time Bloc the number on my phone

same message here in rhode island. funny thing is i have NO credit cards. when you call the number back, get message it's not in operation. & i am on DNC list

They keep calling waking my little child from a nap...we don't have any debt and we don't need their services. These people have no morals if what I'm reading above is true.

Called twice today, second time about a minutes or two ago. Hung up on it both times. Would let it just ring but don't want it to go to voice mail.

Call came to my cell phone.Recorded voice. Unsolicited and tries to convince you to you need to call them

Who is this calling and why , I have 1 number from Canada on my reject list and now I have another number from Canada

i dont want that number to call me back

It's automated call out from a collections agency. Wat they do is they use this number or whatever other ones they use to call, and if answered, will at some point within an hour usually, call you from their actual company phone number. It's apparently to help them catch those people who avoid collections.

Received a call from this # to lower CC interest.

Got a call from this number 6 minutes ago and  nobody on the line.  Tried to call  back and....%?&*(    .

Can the RCMP do something about it?

i got an automated call from a  credit card debt reduction company... when asked to press 1 to continue it brought me immediately to an agent... i asked her her name and she said" nicole smith"... i then asked where she works and she said she works for visa/master card and just after she said that i heard her talking to someone else on the background then i went to dial tone... i get these calls on a regular basis and i am registered on the do not call list with CRTC and it still persists...
