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:
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.

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

Received calls from this number last month, they're now onto a new spoofed number this month. DO NOT give them any information, they're scamming you. The FTC has shut them down three separate times, and they've regrouped again! File a complaint with the FTC here:  http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.shtm and let's stop them again!

pain! calls at the most inconveient times !

Called the number back, got a live person who hung up on me as soon as I asked her to take me off their call list.  Called the number back, as it appears everyone else does, and the number is disconnected.....HOW CAN THAT BE?!!

(912) 447-3244

Carrier:
BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC - GA
City/State:
CHATHAM, GA
Phone Type:
LANDLINE

Have gotten multiple calls this week from this number, as well as numbers in Phoenix and Las Vegas with the same spiel when I answer, "Final notice to lower your high interest credit cards..." What a joke!

Came into my landline so the annoyance is not just cell phone. Ugh.

I just got a call from this number but no one was one line when I answered.  I called the number and recording informed number was not in service. This needs to be stopped.

I just got the call from that number. I did not answer it, though. Yesterday I got a call from a blocked number. I'm thinking now that it was probably the same scam.

Calling me to lower interest rates on credit cards but hangs up when I ask rep to take me off list and when I call get a disconnected number.  PIA

Been getting these calls, offering to lower credit card interest...but the caller won't identify company nor its location.   I keep asking question to make them lose time.....

Unidentified caller - no message

two calls...no message. This is unacceptable...blame the release of cell phone numbers to scammers. We pay for cell phone use...not harrassment, scams and BS.

Recorded call to the business line at 8pm at night, telling me the benefits of reducing my credit card balances down to 4%.  I held on the line for a minute hoping to get a live person so I could give them the state's  Attorney General's info so they could harrass him, but they disconnected me.

Last time one of these scammers called about a warranty for " my car"  I gave him the Attorney General's office address and said "my car" was a BMW and the scammer got all excited about it.  I told him I needed that warranty and I had to have paperwork cause I couldn't do any business over the phone. I'm sure the guy sent the paperwork cause he really wanted that commission and  the Attorney General probably received some warranty papers for "his BMW".  

Have some fun with these guys cause it really feels good to f**k with  them  when the DO Not Call Registry doesn't work.  And  the DO Not Call Registry doesn't work for our business on a weekly, almost daily  basis. The only thing that really seems to work is an unlisted #  but our business can't do unlisted.

Got a robo call from this company about lowering my credit card interest rate. I am on the DNC list and this is an annoyance

Thanks for the idea!  I got a call from the same number on my cell.  I never answer calls from unknown numbers.  I also have a Droid and I have set up a "Do Not Answer" group just as you described.  I know it won't stop the calls; but it gives me a little satisfaction to "fight fire with fire".

Call from Savannah, GA.  Do not know anyone there, but husband answered.  Call from Credit scammer, Automated... we can help you become debt free, yada yada.  We are on the National Do Not Call list, and have NEVER done business with this or any other "get me out of debt free" companies.

Thanks for all the work you did....I, too, got that number on my cell phone but no message was left.  I did not call back but was curious...found this website.  I'm also on the do not call list!   I recall answering other phone calls about credit cards & just hang up or ask they take me off the list...geez

robocall, callback gets "This line is disconnected" in a sorta Brit accent.  Lord, I hope they're not gonna call me every day like those idiots at NCO financial

same thing. It says to call 888-267-3049. I'm not going to but if anyone wants to go for it! It just says Stop the Payday Harassment! If U Owe $800 or More We Can Reduce or Eliminate Ur Loans & U KEEP the MONEY! (that is exactly how it's written as a text message).

I have received daily calls at app 10:10 a.m. for several days -- when I call back number has
been disconnected.  Who are they and how did they get my number?

Stay the hell off my line!!

call me today card services, when i try to get there information he was upset and say he can help me-scam scam - i reported to the do not call site

Has called me over 14 times in the last 7 days. I'm absolutely disgusted by them, and I'M ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST. Please help me, I'm only 16.

got a call from this number called it back because they did not leave a message.  Number is no longer in services. They called my cell phone which is on the Wisconsin no call list.

Hey ! this website is to report calls from unknown callers, and to help the fellow internet users to avoid scamers and/or anoying callers... this website CAN NOT REMOVE your number from any list and CAN NOT force any telemarketer/spammer/collection agency to stop calling you.
DID YOU GET IT ? DUH!

when i called this number from a land line it states "the number you have reached is not in service".  this number called my cell phone and I don't dare to call back from my cell... whoever is doing this needs to get a life!

Received call from 912-447-3244.  Since I didn't recognize the number I didn't answer.  Called number back and got the same "number not in service" message others have mentioned.

This appears to be a spoofcard call to me, and that means that the carrier is likely not the carrier... the calls could be coming from anywhere, any area code.  I've contacted Visa/Mastercard and they tried to blow me off, too.  I promised to cancel my card, we'll see what they say.  Supposedly they've 'started an investigation' (uhhh.... yeah...).  But if it is a spoofcard issue, the only real answer is to go after spoofcard and companies like that.  I plan to contact the local TV media here who seem to like to do computer stories.
