I got 2 calls.Played their game and the woman said they got my nos from the Credit Bureau.When I told her I would report it she actually dropped the phone.Said she works for Associated Card Services.

I bought a blackberry phone app called "Call Control".  The primo package was 7.99.  When I get calls from unwanteds , I list them on the app and don't hear from them again.  Unwanteds can call my number, but the app does not let it go through.  Its worth the little money spent!

I got a call numerous times today and they kept asking for someone (not my name) and I kept telling them they had the wrong number.  The last time it happend it ws the same guys voice that called before so I asked why are you still calling my number?? I told you you have the wrong number.  Said he was from blah blah blah mortgage company and someone filled out a mortgage application online (yeah right) and put my phone number on the application.  Don't think so.  Such a load.  Scammers!

Good luck with that!   I can't tell you how many times we have filed complaints with the FCC and they do NOTHING!!!

This number has been calling me repeatedly about lowering credit card rates. I finally clicked "1" to speak to someone and he immediately said "I understand you're interested..." I cut him off and said, "No, take me off your calling list." He said I was breaking up, and I repeated it. Then he hung up on me.

Yea started.getting a.few.random calls.from.this number and a few others. Did some research didn't turn up. Anything.   I know the exact time they started.  Soon as they did my phone turned to s***. I never gave out this number. Went got.a new phone. New sim card. Same number. Phone worked perfectly until I made a certain text to a certain friend of.Mine. instantly got a call from this number. Phone rebooted. Got a text. Read it, and a picture was taken of my screen? Asks me to reinstall my sim. Card and reboot. Did so. Honestly think it could be a phone tap.

This is in fact a telemarketing SCAM

you can help by calling the FCC as described in the post to which I am replying.  It takes some time to navigate through the appropriate menu for unwanted telephone calls and faxes, but once you get to that menu option, select the number "0" to report the complaint.  I had to listen to the FCC recording several times to understand that part.

Also, it seems the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is more likely to process your complaint as their jurisdiction is more complete in this case.  In order to report the complaint to the FTC, call


877-382-4357

OR go to

www.ftc.gov

And select ....
Consumer Protection

Then
Complaint

I repeatedly receive solicitation from this number despite opting out of their calls on at least 10 occasions

I keep getting calls from this number that says the call is my second and final call for something.  I have had several calls with the same message.  Report all unwanted calls.

This # keeps calling and Heather (recorded voice) says she is calling from my credit card company and would like to speak to me about lowering my interest rates.  I called back to speak to Heather and another record message from her saying if you don't wish to receive our calls please press "1" and we will remove you from our call list.  I am on the Federal and State no call list.  How are these people getting through.  I want the calls to stop now.

I am getting call from this number even my phone is registered for "Do Not Call Registery "

They say they have information about your credit card interest and you can lower it.  Just press 1 to speak to the professional.  Yea, right!  Delete the number.

UNWANTED CALLS ABOUT CREDIT CARD INTEREST. DO NOT WANT THESE CALLS. SOLICTATION UNWANTED!!

I got one today on my cell phone, didn't answer it but then called the number back.  It said push 1 to be removed from the call list which I did.

406-219-2090 missed call on my mobile while I was at work.  I ignored the call, no message was left.  Both my wife and I have been receiving calls from N. Dakota and Montana, great states I'm sure but no one we know lives there!  From this page it looks like part of the same "line of credit" hoax, attempting to get credit card information.

got a call but didn't answer because number was unknown

received a call on my cell phone while I was driving, it said this is an important message from your credit card company.  I hung up.  This is the 2nd one this week.  I am on the state no call list and also the federal no call list.  Somebody do something

Hah.  I made up I had $8000 in CC debt and my rate was like 12.9%.  She said unfortunately it had to be over 17%.  Then I told her every time I tell them the rate is higher they just hang up on me.  Then she said, "Oh you're another fake.  F-OFF!"  Haha.  I'm the jerk for wasting her time!

calling my number,no message...

Hi people, I too have been getting harassed. I am trying to organize a way to stop these unscrupulous people from calling our "do not call" registered phones day and night. It costs us money, time, and energy at a time that we as a nation have little or none of to spare. We have to raise awareness of what's going on and stop them.

1) The reason that these people can call you while you're on the DO NOT CALL registry is straight forward.  These people harassing you aren't in America and aren't subject to any do not call regulations!  Well if they aren't in America, how are they calling with domestic phone numbers you ask?  Major USA telecom companies have reseller businesses where they resell VoiP phone services to consumers all over the world and they use virtual phone numbers that have american phone number exchanges.

Why then are these American Telecom companies providing these foreign people with phone services to harass American consumers and use the services for illicit activities?  The truth is they're not, in fact most of the major American Telecom companies aren't even aware of who is using the services and what they're being used for as they're reselling them to different foreign vendors who then sell the service to foreign consumers.

So the question then becomes, what are my options and what can I do to prevent this?  The best thing to do is contact your STATE Attorney's Office with the phone number harassing you.  Be very specific about what these illicit individuals are doing with these phone numbers and what information they are trying to obtain from you.  What will your local STATE's Attorney's Office do about it?  They will subpoena the carrier who actually provisioned these telephone numbers from the national pool.  If these numbers are operated by another carrier, the carrier who owns the number will contact their reseller and will hopefully comply with terminating the number or potentially face legal action from the STATE.

Contacting the FCC won't do anything, trust me.  Contact your local STATE's Attorney's Office and complain, complain, complain but be very specific about who called you, what they wanted and exact timestamps of calls.  The more information the better.

2) Answering the phone, calling them back and pressing "1" to be removed only confirms that they have a real person on the phone. I believe they have "war dialed" to find your number and if you've answered or called back, they now know they have a real phone number and it only makes you get targeted for more calls, I've managed to get a second phone on their list via calling back from another line.

3) Here is a growing list of the numbers they have used (spoofed), note that this list is from places that have a very light  population density and therefore lots of free and unused or available numbers, places like North Dakota, New Mexico and Iowa among many others. When I get another call from an unfamiliar number, I google that number and usually it is here on this web site. I then now that I got called by another scam/telemarketer scum bag.

406-219-2090 (their new number as of this morning)

As they add new numbers, I'll update this list.

5) The companies that purchase this illegal service include a credit reduction scam ("Card Services" who try to get you to give a credit card number, a home security system provider. I have also been called by folks telling me that I've won a prize and can I give them a credit card number to pay for taxes. Recently the National Diabetic Association, fishing for more identity and Medicare related information. As I we hear of other companies, I'll update this list.

Actions we can take:

1) To help on my phone, I've created a trash contact which has a silent ring tone and each time they change their spoofed number to a new one, I add them to this contact so at least I can continue my meetings and meals without interruption once I have their new spoofed Caller ID number. It helps, a little.

2) Find the link to your STATE Attorney General's office, bookmark it. You'll be using it frequently to report these calls. Take note of as much detail as possible, pretend to be a fool and not on to them to gather as much information as possible to give to the STATE AG office, include the number and exact time and date and any other information. I'd waste their money by trying to see how long I can keep them on the phone, I talk *very* slowly to give them the impression that I am a potential victim. Once they realize that you're not a legitimate target, they'll hang up, usually I never get a call from the same number after this treatment of their call. There are others who've been called who report that by screaming, whistling, or making other loud noises into the phone, gives them some kind of satisfaction, but your miles may vary. If you're interested have a loud whistle handy, some measure of satisfaction can be garnered from knowing that their ears will ring for the rest of the day. To do this, they have to (usually), wear a headset, if you speak softly to them so they raise the volume, you'll get better results.

2a) I recently dropped an email to the Utah State Attourney General's Office and this is their reply: Thank you for writing to the Utah Attorney General?s Office.  The Attorney General?s Office is counsel to the state agencies and has no jurisdiction over cold calls. They are usually scams and or they are trying to get your personal information. They are relentless in calling.   This particular scam is massive and has been for approximately three weeks. Any further communication with the caller will not get you anywhere.

Telemarketer?s are regulated by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) if you are on the do not call list, you may file a complaint with them however, some telemarketers are exempt from that law.  If you have caller ID do not answer the call or just hang up.  

Callers can computerize phones so that they are not active even if they have a return number showing on the caller id.  Recorded calls are not traceable.  Ugh. Useless Governmental Drones. Thanks Mark Shurtleff, we'll remember you at election time.

3) Register your phone at donotcall.gov. After that you should file a complaint each and every time they call. I have never had anything happen as a result of this, but I did feel a little better by doing it. Senator Hatch's office most recent letter indicated they have serious funding issues, (no surprise here) and do very little, but at least you have  the information filed.

5) I recently complained to both of my senators and my representative, I have gotten a letter from the FCC noting my complaint, giving me a case number and a phone number to call to complain, that number is: 888-225-5322
Call that number and complain when you get one of these unwanted calls and you're on the "do no call" list. The telemarketer has to try to sell you something. So when they call press 1 to get to a live person then let them go through their whole sales pitch before telling them you're on the do not call list.

Then when they hang up on you, call the FCC and file your complaint. Ultimately, we can find the companies that enable this behavior and get the feds to help curtail it by bringing them to justice for using illegal telemarketers. There are now several cases of successful prosecution of companies that enable this behavior.

Together we can stop these illegal people from calling night and day, and moving to new numbers. The businesses that purchase this company's product, their telemarketing services without regard to the do not call list. They've messed with the wrong nest of people, the hornet's nest.

Thank you everybody who has helped to contribute to this document.

I've been getting calls from these guys for a while, first time from this number.

I just filed an FCC complaint and if you have the time to comment here, you have time to file one too.

have gotten several calls from this number on my cell phone and they never leave a message.   After reading reports, glad I chose to ignore it.  On the "do not call list", but have been getting at least 3-4 calls a week lately.

they call every other day

I keep getting calls from this number about 1-2 times a week. Every time they call I tell them to take me off their calling list an dthey continue to call. Also when I ask them to take me off the call list the just hang up so I dont even know if they are processing my request. Im getting very annoyed with these calls and have also files a report to the National DNCL.

My number is on the "do not call" list and I should not be receiving any calls.

An automated message, that asks you to lower your credit card interest rates. The automated message will ask you to press 1 if you would like further information. When you press 1, you get a real person. If you tell them to remove your number from there data base because you are on a do not call list, they hang up on you and call back a week later. If you ask who they are, they hang up and call back a week later. If you ask what there number is, they hang up on you and call back a week later. I have been dealing with these people for over a month, and any time I ask them not to bother me anymore, or I try to get any information out of them they hang up on me and call back a week later. They are really starting to piss me off!!!

Got a call from this number. Didn't recognize it, so didn't answer. Then Googled it and found this thread.

Whenever I get calls like this, I go back and add it to my address book and name it: SCAM - Do not answer.  So the next time they call, I just glance at my phone and will know not to answer.

Got a call from this number saying this is my last chance to reduce my credit card balance...pressed 1 to speak with a rep, asked her to put me on the do not call list and she hung up on me.

the girl i talked to said she was with associated finical services

My numbers are listed on the DO NOT CALL list!!!! This means whoever is calling me from 406-216-2090!!!
