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 YOUR NUMBER SPECIFICALLY.

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:

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

This number according to Alex @ Capital One is one of theirs.  FYI this number called my cellphone and was very abusive.  To top it off, it was not my account

Got one

still going!!

Got a call on my cell this a.m. about a last notice to lower interest rates, press 1.  Actually spoke with a person, who stated they were from credit card services and could lower any of my interest rates.  After asking a follow-up question, they hung up. Got the same thing when I called it back about the voice mail not being set up.  Beware!

There was no message left.

This is your second and final blah blah credit card. I am on the NO CALL LIST. How do I seek recourse against this shi!tty comany?

Got the same call as reported here even though I am on the do not call list!

Try the FTC, IF it's a collections company.  But you need lots of information from them, that they're required to give you, but don't like to.

Got this automated call on my cell this morning while I was driving. It was about they have been trying to contact me and this is my final notice.

Glad I didnt answer this call either

Called two days in a row..... didn't answer. And they didnt leave a message. Must be a scam

I received a call from 901-212-1268 few minutes ago around 10:30AM at my cell phone-no answer, nothing-I think I also received few calls from this number! I think it is the time to block this number by appropriate authorities.

Unknown caller so I didnt answer - must be a  scam

Got this called about lower interest rates when I have no credit cards or anything.  Shut them down I get these calls all the time!!

dirtbag message from this number just now to my cell phone no less.  Scamola, I am sure.

I got a call on my cell phone.  I had called Capital One Fraud Dept on another number.  I also had them check this number.  Capital One admitted to my that this was one of their numbers.  The person I spoke with was Alex @ 800-955-7070 or 800-239-7054

Got the call at 3:51 pm from # 901-212-1268.Let it go to voicemail and they left partially cut off message warning me the time was running out-important that I call back. No thanks.

spam call..  I've been getting a lot of these calls from various numbers

Called this morning didn't answer...

just got an awesome message from 201 212 1268 that effective today I  can lower my credit card interest rate!!!  I am saved thank you, seeing i have no credit cards...

I got the same call at 11:21 am.  I never answer anything from numbers I don't know, especially out of my area code.   Call is from memphis, TN. They have called at least 2-3 times per week from this number as well as other numbers.  It's the same recording. Same concept... another numbers is (201) 786-3241 which is a call from New Jersey.  I finally decided to google the number and found this site.  I really wish they would stop calling me at all hours of the day and week.

These people or persons or institute should be punished by the law looks like there has been enough people complaining to get something done. (as we have right to)!!! I found out that I can have the numbers blocked. The national do not call number is 1-888-382-1222. Call them let them know what is going on.

got a call the caller wanted to lower credit card rate......................a scam and a pain

This number called my cell (verizon btw) at 11 a.m. - I don't answer anything I don't recognize, and sure enough it was a scam.  Glad I checked here!  They didn't leave a message.

It was a recorded message saying they have been trying to contact me and this is my final notice. Regarding lowering my credit card interest rates.

Called me this morning at 10:59. saying they have been trying to contact me and this is my final notice. I pressed #1 to be transferred. The guy picked up and said are you trying to lower your interest rates today? I said no! I'm tryna figure out what interest rates?! I don't have a credit card! He hung up, when I called back I got a voicemail...Clearly A SCAM!!!

After reading all the reports from all the people who received calls from this no. I finally conclude that it is a scam. I also received similar call today & found the same recorded message of no voice mail box activated.

Hmmm...received the call, was in a meeting and didn't answer.  They did not leave a message.  It came up as the number like all of the others with Tennessee after it.   I, too, am on a no call list.  Plugged the number in and ended up  here.  Thanks for the heads up!

It is illegal for a company to make calls that are recorded, Please go to the national do not call website and report them! I have had all of the same issues as other people have mentioned.
