I am a Verizon customer, how many of the rest of you are too?  Is Verizon giving personal information from it's customer database?

Had my first call this week (from this number).  It is not just Verizon customers being contacted.  The New York number is new.  Most of mine have been coming from locations in Michigan and MN.

I received a call from this number offering to lower my credit card interest rates. Recognizing it as an unsolicited call (no company name was given), I followed their directions and pressed 9 to continue and talk to a customer service rep. When he answered I immediately asked if he would please remove me from their call list. He hung up on me. I called the number back and was informed that that number is not accepting calls at this time. Can't they be restricted from setting up a phone number that does not accept calls?? WTH!

I have received several calls from this number asking me if I wanted to lower the interest rates on my credit card which I do NOT own. The most recent call instructed me that it was my last chance and to press 9 to speak to an associate. I pressed 9 and some guy answered and asked me if I was ready to lower my rates. I started to explain to him that he should stop calling me and the call disconnected. I tried calling back but the number won't take incoming calls.

I got a call from 347-213-1780 at 2 PM today; it came up "Cell Phone NY" on my Caller ID. I didn't realize it was a recorded message, so I asked her what credit card company she was calling about. When she didn't answer and just kept on with her spiel, I hung up. I just figured she was being rude AND of course, trying to scam me. I'm also on the Do Not Call List, and a Verizon customer.

This call showed up as Bronx, NY.  Didn't answer it and just a unidentifiable word was left on my voice mail.  Called the number and it was busy.

We continue to get calls from West Nyack, NY, Most often it is Rachel calling about our credit card account that is not in arrears.
Obviously this is a "phishing" expedition attempting to obtain personal info.
I have been told that I should quickly enter "#" several times to delete my number from their data bank, but it is usually my wife answering and she doesn't remember to do this.
There should be a method to shut this operation down!

Very tired of lthese calls to lower my interest rate.  Some clown, said his name was something "McFarland", needed to know if my interest rates were still over 15.9%!  Do they pick these numbers out of the sky?  Tried to impress me with "we deal with over 51 different credit card companies".  How can these jerks be stopped from wasting our time?

Verizon knows, they will surely understand my rudeness when a legitimate Verizon rep talks to me about  their service.  As in Eygpt eventually the people's anger will rise to the occasion and smite the ones that harbor the injustices.  Death to the scammers.  Shame on verizon for allowing this number to continue service after all the complaints I have read.  One day we will learn how to strike back.

This number called 1/18/2011 at 4pm, a female recorded message claiming to be from our credit card company, did not say the credit card name, saying they could reduce the interest rate. I hit the 0 three times and a male voice came on at which point I told them to remove my phone number and put it on the do not call, the caller simply hung up.

Message was the same thing about a credit card--nothing wrong but an offer was about to run out.  I've had this happen before so I pressed "9" for a "representative.  Someone calling himself Gary after the usual  from me about how he was probably a criminal said he he'd remove my phone # from the list if I'd give it to him and that he had no idea what my number was--that he's at an outgoing call center. (No way would I give my  phone #.)  He said that the company he was working for was "Account Services, Inc."
The call came through without a name attached, merely "New York"  plus the phone number on my caller ID.

I filed a complaint with the do not call site and it could not be registered.  According to the site at .gov the caller was not a number registered within the last 31 days.  Obviously this scam operation is using phone numbers and then discontinuing them so they never fall into the do not call guidelines.

These chumps call me daily, for over a year now. Today I pressed 9 and it rang through to a human who asked if I wanted to lower my interest rate today. I replied "no, I'd like my phone number to be removed from this list". She hung up in my ear.

THE NEXT TIME I HIT 9 AGAIN TO TELL TEHM TO TAKE ME OFF THE LIST TO CALL AND SHE HUNG UP ON ME RIGHT AWAY. THEY DON'T TELL YOU WHAT CREDIT CARD COMPANY THEY ARE CALLIKNG FOR.

@ Josh: What you have listed is VERY good advice.  Thank you so much for posting.

I have been getting phone calls from these jerks off and on for months now about credit card interest rates. It's a SCAM. They call from a different number each time. This morning I received a call from the 347-213-1780 phone no. I didn't answer the call when I saw it was an unfamiliar no. My phone lists this as being a cell phone number; but after typing it in here it comes up listed as a land line phone.

After further investigation the number is located somewhere in the New York City area. From other posters here I see that it is a Telemarketing operation.

Being on the Do Not Call List does no good at all. It's worthless. And these creeps WILL NOT take you off their list. In fact; once they know they have a real number they will start calling you even more frequently.  

The best solution is to call your phone company's customer service and ask them about blocking unidentified phone numbers. Some companies have a code you can punch in which no longer allows unidentified numbers to ring through on your line. They can also block a certain number; but in this case they use a lot of different numbers; so that method won't work for these jack @sses!!

Got a call from this number today, and thank God for caller ID.  I hardly ever answer the phone anymore, seems like phone-scams are on the rise, and interestingly this is the second one in weeks I've heard about coming from New York (the other being from Buffalo, where phone-scammers are threatening people over the phone with imprisonment if they don't divulge their bank account information).

The state attorney general offices SAY they can help prosecute fake scammers like this, but they can't do anything without a business' address.  A surefire way of telling whether something is a scam?  Ask the jerks for their physical mailing address, they will NEVER give it to you.  (in other words: if they demand money from you through an account number over the phone, and you turn it around on them by asking them to give you a mailing address so you can mail them a money order, and suddenly they refuse to give any such information... bingo, it's a scam)

If you ARE lucky enough to get an address, report it to the BBB and FTC first. But NEVER give away your money unless you are 100% sure where it's going!
