Got this one on my company cell phone today.
Nope, they're not stopping until they get mangled in a cow factory.

Oops  I reported wrong # above. Sorry

Calls me several times a day When I return call it tells me they are Diabetic Group.

I get several calls a week from "Rachel at Credit Card Services" offering lower interest rates for credit cards. I've been on the "Do not call" list since it was implemented.

Rachel called on 561-807-2239 - Blocked that number - then she called on 239-603-6698 - Blocked that one - then the next day she called on 239-603-6695 - That was Friday - Blocked that number and can't wait to see what number she uses on Monday - I guess she doesn't work weekends.

My robo calls are coming from Glen Beck and my Republican House Congressman. I never get calls from Dems. Glen Beck advertising a new radio program.

Always answer their phone call.   pretend to be interested.   Keep them on the line as long as possible.  At one point when you have them really interested, ask them to hold the phone for a minute.  Put the phone down on the desk.   Go have a cup of coffee.   Eventually they will tire and hang up the phone.   You will know when they have disconnected.   Put the phone back on the hook.   You have wasted their valuable time.   561-807-2239

Received voicemail telling me "...this is your final notice ...press the number 3 to discontinue further notices, or press the number 1 on your phone now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate". Tried calling the number back using Caller I.D., and I just get hold music for a few minutes and then the line goes dead.

Obvious scam. Generic robo-call to "lower my interest rate". Did not say any account name or type of account.

Recieved a call from 561-807-2239 stating they were calling to lower the interest rate on my charge card. I dont even have a charge card. Was a pre recorded message.

This is a credit card telemarketing scam operation that keeps harassing my family all hours of the day and night.  I spoke with one of their reps about six months ago.  He want my credit card information and Social Security Number.  The company also uses 561-910-4713 and 561-948-1070 in addition to 561-807-2239.  The company phone provider is LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - FL.  Their customer service number is 877-253-8353.  Their executive office number is 720-888-1000.  They refuse to do anything about the fraudulent companies they provide service to.  Their corporate secretary refused to connect me with their security officer and informed me that if I didn't like it to contact the police.
So, I encourage you to contact LEVEL 3, the FTC, and your local authorities.

This scammer has a sense of humor.....

If No-ID phones must, by law, either display caller or service provider, it would be easier to charge the provider back for losses.  We could then also choose to disregard provider name-only calls.  Establishing credos to obtain a phone used to be required.  Now providers will take any money, month-by-month.  Providers are the problem.

I conduct my life and my business in a legitimate manner.  I have little reason for anonymity, except to hide from criminals.  It used to be criminals who needed to hide.

Thanks so much, Jack!

These twits did not have my name correct, but close.  Since I am non-published, I'm wondering who sold them my number?  I'm very careful in giving it out.

These types of criminals damage the peaceful enjoyment of our homes.  They steal service for which we are paying.  Very few have legitimate reasons for "throw-away" phones.  The only way to stop this are laws making it simple to charge back service providers for "throw-away" scam losses.  Let providers then chase the criminals for reimbursement, whom they empowered to commit crimes against us in our homes.

Received unwanted phone call from this number regarding credit card that I don't have!

Oh my!!!  It's Rachel from Credit Card Services wanting to "lower my interest rates"!!!  

I get this dumb recorded message from different caller ID's.  It's been at least 9 in the last 4 months.  I'm sure they SPOOF the caller ID.

Will SOMEONE stop these COCKROACHES!!!

SCAMM   SCAMM

Received phone 2 calls from same area code but different number. Always the same message wanting to lower my credit card rate. Knowing this is a scam I pressed 1 to speak with a live person. I advised the person answering that I was a private investigator from California(which is true) and I was investigating a fraud case. They immediately hung up. I am fed up with these bozos and am investigating them. I will forward my findings to Florida's Department of Law Enforcement.

These people called me.  I pressed the button to speak to someone.  When I asked questions about what card this was about they hung up on me.  I called the number only to hear music.  I am turning the number over to the do not call registry.  I am on the list and they called anyhow.

i found 561-807-2239 on caller ID, caller left NO message, caller ID shows "IP Communication", after googling that, it seems doubt-full to be that company.

Call to lower interest rate.

Sorry, these people will NEVER stop calling, they start with the first number they have purchased from Hong Kong, xxx-0001, and they use robo-dialers for 2 weeks, then they move on to xxx-0002, and use it for 2 weeks.

  The Attorney General can't do anything because by the time someone complains, the XXX-0001 has been discontinued, end of story.

  The phone company will NEVER stop these out-of-state calls because they make money on them, and they will NEVER allow you to block a call that says "Unavailable" and EVERY CALL THAT SAYS UNAVAILABLE is either a scam, or the Democrats, or abortion rights people, or they are looking for someone who owes money to a utility or department store.

  The scammers originate in Hong Kong, someone buys thousands of numbers, and then re-sells them to the scammers in the U.S. verizon does not care, because they made money. The re-seller makes money selling them either 100 or 1,000 at a time. Do the math: 100 numbers, used for 2 weeks maximum, and the scammers are good for 2 years, all they have to do is change the robo-dialers every 2 weeks to the new number. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

  Except: cancel FIOS, and cancel your land line and NEVER answer a call, and only use a cell phone. Better yet, since Verizon won't do anything about "Unavailable" calls, order FIOS, have them install it, get the $100 Visa reward, and then cancel it and tell them since THEY won't do anything about "Unavailable" calls, you don't want their service.

 And then call the Givernor and tell him, since you and the Attorney General won't do anything about "Unavailable" calls, then you are voting them out of office, and then...

  Call your stupid Congressman, and call them everyday, and keep them on the line for as long as you want, and then axe them, "How do you like being bombarded with unwanted phone calls all day"? . And then call them again the next day. And the next.

Scam, despicable people in Hong Kong buy tens of thousands of numbers from Verizon, and then sell them in blocks of 100, or 1,000 to credit card scammers (basically ANY number that says Unavailable is a scammer) and they start with xxx-0001, and have robo-dialers start dialing thousand sof numbers until someone answers, and if there is no one on the line, then they are just looking for "a typical time when a human answers" at the software records it, rest assured, YOU WILL get another call back if there is no one on the line. By the time someone complains to the Attorney General (they will NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SCAM, because they can't) the scammers will have moved on to xxx-0002, and they will use that number for 2 weeks, and then move on to xxx-0003.
 * Verizon doesn't care - they have already made their money selling huge blocks of numbers to Hong Kong.
 * Verizon won't do anything to trace a call, unless that individual calls 7 days in a row to your house.
 * The Attorney General can't get records for xxx-0001, because it was only in use for 2 weeks, and is not disconnected.
  *Verizon will NEVER allow you to stop getting numbers from "Unavailable" they will lie to you and say, "We do not have the capability of blocking those calls" or "It's outside the local area" which is another way of saying, "We receive long distance money from these numbers, so we WILL NOT BLOCK THEM".
  Cancel your land line and go with a cell phone. And call your Governor and tell him you are voting him out for allowing this situation to exist.

Nearly everyday I get this call. Pushing the number 3 to discontinue does no good. This is the most persistent call I have ever received and seems to be designed to annoy. I am on the "no call" list but it must be hooked up to Disney Land. Can't something be done about these jerks?? I'm about to loose it.

Jack you are awesome!  Thank you for taking the time
and for all the info that you provided.

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 YOU.

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

561-807-2239 keeps calling to reduce credit card rates.  I have repeatedly tried to stop the phone calls but they keep calling

I just got a call from these pest again and after asking they remove my number but today I just filed a complaint with the National Do not call registry and if I did read things there right that the so called ?cardholder services ? are in violation and then they are spoofing their number because if you call them back then its not a real number.  I would suggest getting a good coaches whistle and if you can answer the phone and then by pressing the #1 key you will be able to ?speak ? with someone and then blow out the creeps ear drum. Remember? They called you!  Now go bust an eardrum!

Caller ID: IP Communications
on 3Aug2011 at 8:44am PST

I did not answer the call
I am on no-caller list but get these calls anyway.

Why can't these unwanted calls be stopped?

have received numerous calls from this number and keep following their directions by pushing #3. does not remove my number from their call list. Finally got through to a live person and she said their "# 3 doesn't work anymore".

I asked for a supervisor and was hung up on twice!
