Woman refuse to tell me the name of her company, BUT she wanted my credit card info to reduce my interest rate.....I told her to take me off the calling list, she replied, NO! I was shocked so I repeated myself again, and again she said NO! and then hung up on me.

Called 3 times in the past few days. When I pressed 1 to speak to someone then complained about being called again, they hung up, no answer when called back.

the initial message indicated that this was "my" credit card company and this was my last chance to lower my interest rate. to speak to a representative press 1". So I did and let the person who answered know that I found the call strange and misleading and that I would report this number. He hung up on me before I could finish my sentence. This sounds like they are trying to obtain people's credit card information.

I have received many calls from 616-980 2782 offering to reduce rates on mastercard or visa.
You cannot respond as it is a recorded message. Wish the authorities would stop these idiots!
Guess the "idiots" must get some response otherwise they would not keep calling everyone.
We can still hope the authorities will catch up to them.

@terrymaz
Your idea of (* xx) to let a tel-co know a call is garbage is a great idea! I just got a call from 616-980-2782 with Call Display name "Michigan". That is almost always a tip-off the call is from a robot. Bogus names like "Michigan" get the "Click (pause) Click" treatment from me. If the caller is a legitimate business they should let me know their name *before* I take the call. If their tel-co can not get a proper name into Call Display, get a different tel-co.
I use TELUS' email and at the click of a button I can tell them an incoming email is SPAM. A telephone call is often much more of an interruption than a Subject Line in my inbox. I should be able to treat junk phone calls the same way I treat junk email.
A burst of *76 (Spam Message?) from their customers to a tel-co would give them the information they need to do something about it.

...Same deal as Steven T but I was going to play the scam so I hit 1. ...five seconds to disconnect... Too bad! I wanted to have some fun and tie up the SoB's. You know; hold on a minute while I call my wife to get the numbers; fake a call to my wife while she reads back a half a dozen numbers dates etc. which I carefully repeat with the scamer line "accidentally" still open; fake name; fake number; sorry I got messed up on the number; here try this one.
I had some time on my hands. You can keep these scumbags on the line for quite some time if you're creative.

I received a call from this number requesting that I press 1 if I want my credit card interest rate lowered....Who doesn't want that right? Well in talking to a young lady she explained and then when I basically took over the call someone who was listening stepped in and explained how they are a company called "CARD SERVICES" who works along Credit Card companies for consumers who are looking for a lower rate....I asked why didn't the credit card company call themselves. When asked what's in it for them they say they get a fee of $896.00 and then they contact the company and have the rate lowered....hahahah...they must of taken me for an a**hole....then he says all that he needs is my Credit Card number and then charge the $896.00 to MY CARD....lol..... and the rate would be lowered in 1 month. Please beware of this number and especially for the older people, please don't give ANY information over the phone....the only how you give information, is when YOU call the establish itself and they want verification that it is you......if they call you, they will already have that verification and Credit Card number/s available..

1-888-495-8501
| J. Nicholls 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Got the same call.. started asking questions.. and they simply hung up.
I know they're just regular people trying to make a living - but they're getting the whistle next time.
| J. Nichols 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
They just called, offering me the lower rates and all that BS, when I insisted on the name of the company she is working for, she just hung up!. SCAMMERS!!
| CP 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Just called, don't know anyone in the 616 area code, Let it go to voice mail..
| FedUp 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
same thing as Kevin, get 'lower rate'
spam call
| Mich 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Ya I got this one too. I asked to be removed from the scam list and he's like its not a scam, you haven't been making payments...blah blah. So I asked what my info was and he responded with "this is automatic dial so we don't have that information on file". I had no choice but laugh and then told him he was full of sh*t since I had no credit cards. He paused and said "oh then you must have received this call in error".
It AMAZES me how some people can set out and be so devious.

| Britney 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Just had a call from 616-980-2782 - recorded message saying we have tried to contact you many times and this is the last chance to have your credit card interest rate lowered. Press 1 to speak to a representative. Thought it was a scam, but pressed 1 to see what they had to say. Guy came on, saying that because I have such a good payment record for the past six months, I was entitled to a lower interest rate on my Visa and Master Card. Oh really??? Both Visa and Master Card, eh??? Told the low-life scammer that I wasn't falling for his b*s offer and hung up.
Will report them to authorities, not that it will do any good.
| LF 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Got a robo call from this number, "get a lower rate." I'm in Canada, call originates in Michigan. I pressed the number to talk to a rep to get them to remove me from the call list. B***h just hung up, did not even say goodbye, just hung up. Next time I will have my whistle ready and blow as loud as I can into the phone. Cheers, Kevin
| kevin 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
Number originates out of Grand Rapids MI...nothing when you answer...if you do not answer, no message left.
| April 2011-06-06 20:52:53 Unknown |
No one answers when I answer the call or try to call it back.
