PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE IS CALLING YOUR SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER.

THEY DID NOT. THEY DID NOT CALL YOUR NUMBER SPECIFICALLY.

YOU WERE RANDOMALLY "ROBO" CALLED WITH A SPOOFED PHONE NUMBER ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

There are several companies engaged in scam business using auto dialers. They are ALL scam outfits. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number you searched for is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of these companies. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, that try to scam innocent victims. They are either owned by the same people, or they sell their business model to other crooks.

One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, and more. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints to them are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..." or "The is an important call from your cardmember services. This is your Final Notice. We have been trying to contact you?."


NOW, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? If you want to stop these crooks do the following
:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Do not ask how they "got" you number. (Remember, your number was randomly  dialed by a computer)

Tell them you have $20,000 in credit card debt. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. If the call is about the auto warranty scam, tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. You want to engage them in friendly conversation to keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be nice friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below). Oven when pressed for questions, they will hang up on you. Remember, they are instructed to do this. That is why you must not be confrontation. Be friendly and act as if you are genuinely interested.

Get the name of the company, and if you can, the city where they are located. Most of these scam companies are either in Florida, or in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time. But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:
http://www.419eater.com.


2) Get the details of these scumbags and post it on this and every other website you can find. Use only the information you get from talking from their representatives and information you get from public sources. DO NOT POST THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR CALLER ID. Their numbers were spoofed and they are victims.


3) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

You can also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the links below to see how effective this can be.

If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money.

Additional information: This is what can happen if everyone were to complain!

Let me tell you how I helped defeat a former scam company. Versadebt, that changed its name to VP Marketing, was scamming victims for years. I found the name of their company through conversation with one of their stupid representatives. And not only did I report them to the FCC and FTC each time, I also posted their contact information on the internet to make it easier for everyone to report.

Here is a story from Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA that tells how WE took down VP Marketing, just one scam operation. Over 100,000 complaints were received by the FTC:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team:-vp-marketing-sued-021710

If you get the name of the company,  here is how you can find their information if located in Georgia, with the search engine of the Georgia Department of State:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

For example looking up VP Marketing, the former scam outfit, we see that it is owned by Jason Eyer, the dirt bag shown in the Fox 5 video. Here is how you can contact this person, courtesy of public records filed with the Georgia Department of State:
Jason Eyer
1603 Mosaic Way
Smyrna, GA  30080
407-902-1950
407-902-9377


Remember:

1) Be friendly and pretend to be interested
2) Try to get the name of the company
3) Research the name of the company using public records
4) Post the name of the company everywhere on the internet
4) Report them to the FCC, the FTC, and the state Attorney General's office

Got a call 5-17-2011 @ 930a.  "Card Services"  They call me with a different number weekly and sometimes daily. The number changes every time they call because they use spoofing.  Contact the FTC @ 1-877-382-4357 and file a complaint.  Also contact your state AG's office.  THE FTC WANTS TO KNOW!

Got a call from this number at 12:20 pm ET.  It was a recorded message from "Card Member Services" saying that this is a final notice, they've left several messages (not true!) and something about lowering my interest rate.  Never identify *which* card they might be calling for.  I did not try calling back, but did Google the number and found this page.  Company does not show up on Caller ID - just "Unknown Name" and the number.

Actually it is a Rhode Island number, I guess each state has its own laws regarding this type of harassment and since Rhode Island is a state that depends on telemarketing for its many corporations looking for tax shelters thats probably why it came from that state.

I received a call from this number (401-384-0746 Rhode Isla Call on the Caller ID) saying they had mailed many notices and this was the last call to lower the interest rate on all my credit cards.  It said to press one to talk to one of their "friendly" representatives.  I pressed one and she answered asking if I was responding the lowering my credit card interest rates.  I told her no I was calling to have my name and number removed and to never receive another call.  She hung up.  Tried to call back and it said it was not able to complete my call.

Got a call 5/14/2011 from 401-384-0746. Caller ID says Warwick, RI. Left no message. When they call back I'll just put the phone down but won't hang up - this slows down the calling for them as they have to disconnect from me before calling someone else. I usually don't get a call back after I do this.

Called me 2011-05-12 near noon.   Left no message.

Tried to call back:  "We could not complete your call - please try again."  So I used my GOOGLE VOICE acct settings to block this CallerID from ever calling me ever again.

Not a single telemarketer has ever gotten through to me since I started using GOOGLE VOICE.  It is fantastic (and FREE$$ !)

(NOTE:  since GOOGLE VOICE intercepted this call originally and the caller did not get past the "call screening feature" I was not even aware that they had called me for five days.  But in looking through "missed calls" I saw that particular number and suspected that it was some kind of scam artist.  And now that I have GOOGLE VOICE I decided to be bold and try to call them back (which is my new aggressive tactic against telemarketers.)  The call screening feature of GOOGLE VOICE is gonna put telemarketers out of business !

Yes, these idiots are just running a scam. PLEASE, EVERYONE, press the number to talk to a representative. Keep them on the line as long as possible. The longer they talk to you the more it will cost them to pay the people you talk to. If everyone would spend 30 seconds on the phone (maybe talking softly so they listen closely and then telling them loudly what you think of them) the lowlifes running this scam would eventually run out of money and have to give it up.

Caller ID showed up as "unknown name." When I answered, a woman started her spiel about donating to some sort of supposed cancer charity. I asked her as politely as I could if I could ask her a question. She said, "Sure."  So I said, "Could you help me get out of your database? I'm supposed to be on the National Do Not Call Registry, but I keep getting these calls. I need your help."
She said she could remove me from hers (whatever that means) but couldn't remove me from others. I thanked her profusely and we hung up.
People like to be asked for their help.
But I do find it interesting that some people report this as coming from a credit card company, and mine said they were from a charity.

I also received a call and recorded message from "Card Member Services" saying that this is a final notice, they've left several messages and that they could lower my interest rate to 6% if I owed more than 5K on my credit cards.  Company does not show up on Caller ID - just "Unknown Name" and the number.  Filed a complaint at ftc.gov.

Got 'the call'..computer generated..when I didn't say hello twice line eventually went dead. I don't have
time for this BS. Caller ID showed external caller. Too bad being on the 'Do NOT CALL LIST' doesn't work.

Received call Sat.  First a recorded message saying they could help me lower my interest rates on my credit card balances (I don't have any).  Press "1" to speak to a rep.  So I did.  This scumbag wanted me to give him my card numbers and balances so he could "help me".  Reported him to "do not call" which I am listed on and also to the state attorney general.  I asked him several times which card he represented and he said "all Visa and Mastercard".  Refused to tell me a bank or business he was associated with.  He finally hung us on me when he got tired of answering my questions.

Received a not so nice phone call--requested to speak to customer service--when I asked which card they were calling about and who was calling--the "gentleman" hung up.
The original voice was a recording female voice and was a tad on the rude side--stating they would close all my accounts!!!!
Today's date----May 21, 2011---call came in about 5:30 P.M.

"Card Member Services" offering to lower my card rates, press 1 to talk to a human, so I did and yelled at them to stop f*@%in' calling me! They have called at least 6 times so far and every time I've asked to take me off the calling list/put me on the do not call list and warn them that I am on the nat'l DNC list and they still call!

After repeatedly telling Card Member Services to add me to the do not call list, I have received another solicitation call.  After pressing the option to speak with someone, the company rep answers and I request again. The rep says we will see what they can do about the calls, then immediately hangs up in my face.  Hard to process the do not call request if you hang up on the party requesting this. The company's phone number is (401)384-0746 appearing to be located in Warwick, RI. If you attempt to call them, the call will not go through. Sending a copy of this message to BBB and whomever I can find that deals with these people.
