Oh look, the FTC is refunding scammed money from one of these Heather clone scam operations http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2012/09 ... -consumers.html
And Heather robocalls are illegal anyway unless the scammers have express permission from its victims (fat chance!) http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/phonefraud/robocalls.shtml

Telemarketer, my donkey. Heather is an advance-fee SCAMMER, not a telemarketer, and you are a lying scammer shill.
Advance fee scam:  Victim pays $$$ up front for an interest rate reduction that never shows up and victim is screwed.
The FTC warns on credit card interest rate reduction scams  http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt178.shtm
The FTC shut down this Heather clone operation  http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2010/11/aflfinancial.shtm

Here's the story of a lovely lady, who was bringing up three very lovely girls, all of them had hair of gold like their mother, the youngest one in curls.
It's the story of a man named Brady, who was busy with three boys of his own, they were four men living all together, yet they we're all alone.
Until the one day when the Lady met this Fellow, and they knew that it was much more than a hunch.
That this group must somehow form a family, that's the way we all became The Brady Bunch, The Brady Bunch, The Brady Bunch, That's the way we became The Brady Bunch.

Sing this to a telemarketer and you'll make a new friend! I guarantte it!

Be nice to people, be glad that someone called your home! Someday you'll be old and lonely and your phone will be so idle you'll have wished you were kinder to that telemarketer that you were so yurse with. Telemarketer's are just hard working, everyday people trying to bring home the bacon.

A call came in from this number while I was having dinner with my family. After a hard day's work I don't expect to be bothered by phone calls unless it's a matter of  great importance. Anyway, I pick up the phone and hear this horrible sounding  recorded woman claiming she's Heather and she'll lower my interest rates....  I waited for an operator to pick up, it was a guy probably some 20 something, and I really tried to keep my cool and tell them to never call me again. I guess it was the same guy that the post before mine spoke with, because this guy used vulgar language at me too, and said that my credit was in jeapordy and hung up on me.

I called my local police department right away and explained to the dispatcher what had just happened. I gave the dispatcher the phone number, 888-502-3609 and she said that what I experienced was definately harrassment. I hope that there'll be an investigation of these scammers.

I got a call from "Heather" two hours ago. I picked up my end and listened to "Heather" spit out her recorded sales pitch. I waited for an actual person to speak with, and it was only a matter of seconds I was connected with someone. I ask if I was speaking to "Heather." The lady said that, "I'm not Heather." I said, "What's your name, miss?" She refused to tell me her name. I wanted to play dumb with this idiot, so I kept saying that I must speak with "Heather." I can hear this lady sighing and tsking! She grunts out, "Sir, are you interested or not in out program that will drastically reduce the interest on your credit debt?" I said, "Sure, but only if "Heather" will speak with me." The lady hangs up on me. I called 888-502-3609 and I get a males voice this time. I played the same game asking to speak with "Heather." He tells me "Heather" isn't available at the moment. "Well, when will she be available?" I exclaimed. The guy ends up calling me an as***** and hangs up on me! Whoa! Some real sweethearts working there!! I hit my re-dail, listened to that same lame recording, hit 1 to speak with a live person, and this time it just rang and rang. Nobody answered this time. I was ready to exhange a few choice words back. Darn! Well, maybe next time:)

Thought about it and figure this might be useful to some... this is the response I mentioned earlier.

Dear Consumer:

Re: Case # 12-T00918783-1

Thank you for contacting the FCC regarding possible violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (?TCPA?) and the Commission?s telemarketing and junk fax rules.   Information provided in consumer complaints like yours helps the Commission to combat abusive or unlawful practices in these areas, including taking enforcement actions against individuals or companies. In this regard, the Communications Act authorizes the Commission to issue citations and, in some cases, impose substantial fines upon entities that violate telemarketing and junk fax rules.

Although the Commission does not resolve individual complaints, each complaint is individually analyzed and assists us in enforcement actions to protect consumers like yourself.  You should be aware that the TCPA also provides for enforcement of the telemarketing and junk fax rules by state attorneys general and by individual consumers.  With respect to the latter, the TCPA 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.

We invite you to visit the FCC?s Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau?s Internet web site at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb for more information. You may also call the FCC?s Consumer Center toll free at 1-888-CALL-FCC [1-888-225-5322], TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC [1-888-835-5322].

Sincerely,

I continue to be called by this organization.  Like the other person's I have never contacted them.  Voice message left is almost word for word like this:  "This is Heather, CALLING BACK in regard to YOUR loan modification"!!!  

I emailed the FCC and the address you get led to by going to thru the "do not call website" and the only response I get is that if I can Identify them I can take them to small claims court.  In other words do not call is a sham because any enforcement is not funded.

This mortgage scam about calling 888 502-3609 is out of Las Vegas. They are using a roomful of cell phones so if you block one there still will be dozens of 'Heathers' out there calling you. This girl's name is no more 'Heather' than the one who sold machine guns on TV a decade ago. It doesn't do any good to report this to the government; they are hit with thousands of complaints and don't have the staff to fight it. My idea is to get our congressmen to pass legislation that charges unsolicited telemarketers $10.00 each time they call a home number without permission ... and the ten bucks goes to the homeowner. After all, we are the ones paying for the phone they use.

Call today with caller ID showing "Private Name, Private Number," but the recorded message gave this 888 number to call back for loan modification.  Sent all the information to the DNC.  Please take time to report these calls; they may be able to track with so many calls.

The scammers are spoofing (faking) the telephone number that shows up on your Caller ID -- that is, when it actually shows up and isn't listed as "private."

They are also using an auto-dialer that calls number after number after number with no consideration for whether they are real telephone numbers or fax numbers or office numbers or non-existent numbers.  They don't care.  They especially do not care that they are violating the government's do not call list by bothering us with these scam robocalls.  In reality, they don't know you from Adam.  They don't know whether you have a mortgage.  They don't know whether you have credit cards (that's for the fake 'lower your interest rate' scam).  

They want you to pick up the phone and press any button to confirm that yours is a real number.  You may think that you are removing your number from their calling list, but the opposite is true.  

Hang up.  Don't press any number.  Don't bother speaking to a "representative."  Do not give these people the time of day.  Report them each and every time they bother you to www.donotcall.gov.

I'm sorry you are in that situation, but am glad that you saw this for what it was -- a big scam!

I don't know how these crooks can live with themselves when they are preying on the people who can least afford to pay unnecessary and huge fees by scammers who are misrepresenting themselves.  ILLEGAL!!!

Google "HAMP" and go to the government's website for homeowners who are in need of real help.  Good luck to you, Bill!

There is a real government program out there for struggling homeowners called HAMP which stands for "Home Affordable Modification Program."  These crooks are pretending to be affiliated with this program when they obviously are not.

If you really do need assistance, go directly to the HAMP website.  Do not give any of your personal information to these telemarketing, scum-sucking, bottom-feeding SCAM ARTISTS.  They will charge outrageous fees to do the same thing that you can do on your own just by doing a little research on the government's HAMP website.  http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/programs/lower-payments/Pages/hamp.aspx

Like everyone else on this page, we did not contact these people so the 'returning your call' is obviously part of their scheme.  They are spoofing a toll-free number to make their thievery appear to be legitimate when we all know they are crooks.  Do not give them the time of day.  Block their number if you can (hard to do with a "private" name/number, I know) or add them to your phone's address book under SCAM.

We all need to report these low-lifes each and every time they bother us to www.donotcall.gov.

Just got this same call.. same message. They seem to be praying on anyone whether they are looking for mortgage assistance or not. Very irritating since I happen to be in that sitation and to be called by someone "that can help" and it be complete BS is just plain WRONG. This sort of crap is just as bad as the constant debt collection calls but in reverse. This one has claims of help, the debt collectors claims of financial destruction.

I get a call from "Heather" at 888 502 3609 every 6 weeks or so.  I answered it once to talk with them and find out who they were.  A recorded answerer said someone would be right with me and I was put on hold.   After 30 seconds, I hung up.  Not only are these people annoying and intrusive, but they are not ready to actually do any business.
