This is a scam.  Everyone I know who has Verizon has gotten the same call from the same or similar number.
They said they will lower the interest rate on my "Credit Card" and that if I don't take advantage of the offer, I'll lose out on the lower rate. Press 1 to speak to a customer service.

(I already know this is a scam because my CC companies call from specific numbers I have saved & are required to identify themselves in a specific manner - oh and they don't telemarket the *lowering* of their CC rates!!)

So because I was waiting for an elevator I pressed 1.  Guy with thick Indian accent answers and I ask him "Which Credit Card?"  He proceeds to tell me any of your cards from Chase, BoA, Wells Fargo or Citibank.  I laugh and tell him I'll have to call him back.

***DONT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO THESE IDIOTS!!!***

Turn The Phones OFF and Periodically Check Your VM. This will get to the phone carriers and they will also need to do something about the problem.

How Do You Hurt Scammers Like These? Take Away The Money!!!

We should all annually shut our phones off all day. The call center goes a whole day doing all that work with nothing to show, that?s got to hurt. Listen, we all for on a list and that list is being circulated and we are being the suckers. Turn The Cards, wouldn?t hurt me to turn it off all day I?d enjoy it.

Just got two calls this morning 9:30am from 7089654576 and Unavailable on Verizon, Was getting 4-8 a day.

TO ALL:
Please list who your phone carrier is so we all can find any link to which one?s cater to the efforts of telemarketers.

Why Are We Getting These Calls? They get Money for Just the Ringing and Phone Companies Help Them. So What Can We Do??? STOP Paying To BAD Phone Carriers Who Allow This to Go On...

"The FCC has temporarily halted 7 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. 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."

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they all know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC.
Most of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.

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.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a very short time.

This is an all out attack from these scum sucking filthy pigs! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. 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).

If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the Caller ID at no charge as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.

There is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.

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

Got a call from these idiots. Didn't answer as i usually don't. They left a message:

Reference to your current credit card account. There's no problems currently with your accounts. It is urgent, however, that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rates to as little as 6.9% your eligibility expires shortly, so please consider this your final notice. Please Press 1 now on your phone to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rates, or press 2, to discontinue further notices. Thank you and have a great day.

Don't know how in the world they think I have a CC when I don't. Haven't had one in years and don't plan on getting one anytime soon.

Same here!!!!  Plus, someone apparently logged into my facebook account from Oklahoma yesterday and I live in Louisiana. I immediately changed my passwords on every account, email, fb, etc. and this morning I received a call from this number that you're all complaining about.  I'm might be paranoid now but I feel like it's all related!  Thank goodness I didn't answer.

Yes, a telephone company is responsible for a telephone number being used for lyeing (sic) and cheating.  So go file a class action lawsuit against Alexander Graham Bell and let us know how well that turns out for you.
