Same old credit card scam.  I use to report this mess to FCC, FTC. and state attorney general's office as violations of DNC law.  Figured I was wasting my time so now that I'm retired I just keep them on line as long as possible and then unload on them.  This guy hung up before I could get loaded.  Called the number back and hoped to get someone but got a message saying the number wasn't in service.

Trying to sell

Keeps calling trying to sell.  Have ask several times not to call

Beware ! ! ! They Are Not Who They Claim To Be - This Is A Subversive Attempt To Verify Who You Are.
The Only Way To Stop These Kinds Of Calls Is To Make Them Pay. Always Answer - They Have To Pay For Completed Call.  Keep Them Talking As Long As Possible With Fake Info So They Have To Pay More.

I have received this call 3 times in the past week.  #1:  there is no option to be removed from the calling list  #2:  I don't have any credit cards  #3:  I am on the do-not-call list.  Go ahead and hit 1 and ask to be removed, all you get is someone hanging up on you and obviously not taking your phone number out of rotation.

I saw on caller ID it was an unknown call from Ohio and did not answer. It went to voicemail but no message was left.

Company calls several times a week always leaving the same message "this will be the last call you receive about reducing your credit card interest rates". I have asked them repeatedly to take my telephone # off their list and they have not to date.

Definitely Card Member Services spoofing another number.  They said they were "Card Member Services" out of Orlando, Fl but the number is for Ohio.  I though the FTC got rid of these clowns.  Oh, well, kept them on the line for twenty minutes feeding them bogus info until they gave up.

same thing different numbers used ,have turned in all to do not call doesnt do any good. robo calls are illegal in my state of nc.would like to strangle them slowly over a burning fire. a bunch of sob telemarketers scammers crooks ect.  besides having to fight all of the crooks, theifs,ect on the streets with no guns when they take them away,being robbed by the government ,taxes, obama care ect, we are left with the scum calling day and night trying to rip us off on the phone. what a mess

This scam has been around forever, and looks like it shall be around forever after.  They call through so many numbers, often spoofed, that it seems impossible to block them all.  Who ever is giving them $$ is keeping the scam going ... and when folks finally quite answering unknown numbers, then perhaps the scam shall stop.

Received a call from 513-29-0842 and came up as Unknown number.  I did not answer the call and they did not leave a message.  I am on the "do not" call list and still am getting these annoying calls.  Wish it would stop !!

Does getting a private, unlisted # help with these scammer/robocallers, or do they just process the numbers, whatever they are ... it's all in the numbers, some work and some don't?
I read that very long, informative answer above, but really ... what's easiest to rid ourselves of these X#*!@s*#'s?

Called4/1/13 at 2:03 PM.  No message

These a**.. called and left no message.  I am on the do not call list. Have been for years.  Why do they assume it is ok to call me?

Called from someone named Richardson.  No message left.

Called but did not leave message.

The FCC has temporarily halted 9 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days.  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.

In the meantime the calls will continue since they are making money with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like http://www.telephonemanagement.net and http://www.CallerID4U.com
In their own words:  'Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.'
You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. They are making money even if you don't answer the phone. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their scam then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.
There is a blog site that has information on one of these operations:     http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com
Please read the blog and report violations to the proper authorities.

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. Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

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.

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.

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

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).

no message- called twice. called back, went straight to Vmail.

Yet another call claiming to be my "final call before we close your file" on credit card refinancing.  Wouldn't it be nice if it was my final call.  I don't have any credit cards in the first place.

I wish it was my last call. They just keep calling and clogging up my answering maching

This is your final notice to receive reduced interest rate.  Refinance scam.  Claim to be from your credit card company but can't tell you which card company they are from.  What they really want is to refinance your mortgage.  Calls repeatedly even though I have told them to stop and am on the no-call list.

I received a call from them this afternoon & never left a message.

Thanks to t and chas above for indicating why "Shaw Richardson/Richardson Shaw" called. Ignored and happier for it!

No message,just a call from a Shaw Richardson ( while I was on the phone) from this number 513-293-0842.. who is this??? I wish he would stop calling....

no message..has called a couple of times

Call received at 1:07 pm with the ID showing Richardson Shaw. "Final notice about credit card rates..." Said I just needed one valid credit card to lower all rates. I think it meant to say they wanted a valid credit card to steal my ID. Jerks.

No message

"final notice" for some credit card plan

He is a child molester
