I get these calls regularly. Generally, I try to report each instance to the FTC (they have an online complaint form) and to the DoNotCall registry complaint website. Here's a fun game: Next time they call, hit 1, wait for the person to pick up. She or he will say "Are you calling about lowering your interest rate?" Then say, "Oh, heavens, no. I just wanted to see what if felt like to talk to a crackhead criminal on the phone. Have a lovely day, now!" And hang up.

It sure is a scam! The callers are the drug-addicted "card services" scammers who call us, pretending to be associated with our credit card companies, in an effort to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers so they can rip us off. People that have revealed their card numbers to these lowlifes have suffered severe financial losses. Beware of these scum, and warn others before they are cheated!

Amen, brother. If our federal government can spy on us and nail the details down so well, they can bust these god damned spam callers!

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1. Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list and NEVER call them back
2. Consider blocking the number or on a cell phone add it to a contact list and assign NO ring tone
3. Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4. Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5. People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office
6. Report any criminal activity to the FBI here: https://tips.fbi.gov
The FCC has temporarily halted 9 boiler rooms that will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. 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. At the height of this telephone debacle it's been said that each call center was making 27 calls a second, which is a whopping 2.4 million calls in a single day.
The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them almost nothing and they make millions of them so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
Despite the best interagency enforcement efforts to combat mass marketing fraud, the FBI remains cognizant of the fact that the only enduring remedy for this crime problem lies in consumer education and fraud prevention programs. Toward this end, the FBI has not only produced its own mass marketing fraud prevention materials, but coordinates on other public information efforts with the DOJ, FTC, and the USPIS, among others. The FBI also supports a consumer fraud prevention website in conjunction with the USPIS which can be located on the web at: http://www.stopfraud.gov. Additionally, further information on mass marketing fraud schemes can be found at www.fbi.gov, www.ftc.gov, www.ic3.gov, and www.stopfraud.gov.
Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.
EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. It is important to keep up the pressure even though nothing seems to be getting done, or else the government will just sit back and claim they are doing a good job since there are fewer complaints.
Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft and is interstate, the FBI should be forced to get involved. Charge them with a CRIMINAL offense and throw them in prison instead of the FCC saying 'Naughty - naughty, now go out and play nice'. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

Just got a call from this number. When I answered, nobody was there.
| BP 2013-06-08 17:43:11 Unknown |
Just another spam call about lowering your interest rates. It's a dead giveaway when you call the number back and it comes up as disconnected or not a good number.
| Mitch Rapp 2013-06-08 14:51:36 Unknown |
Found you! I'm on my way.
| JoAnn 2013-06-07 20:17:49 Unknown |
I had a missed call for this number. I called it back and it was a disconnected number. Do not have any idea who it is from
| swan 2013-06-07 19:29:23 Telemarketer |
I answered this one since I have relatives in Montana (406).
Robo call "Kelley with Consumer Law" wanting to lower credit card interest rates...imagine that.
