tape recorded scam offer to lower my credit card interest rate

this time a female voice; often a male voice

the press 9 to talk to a representative to stop the calls does not produce any results or even a human response

the phone call came from 949-256-9110 or so i was told by pressing *69

the reason I know all these calls are scams is that we do not have any credit card that sends us a monthly bill; they cannot have any record of me since no records exists

Thank you all for your comments, as a former telemarketer I can hardly wait for these people to call back, revenge is gonna be sweet!!
Oh and you must say that you want to be put on the "DO Not Call List" FYI, they do have to follow the telemarketing rulse (in the phone book, front area) but the CRTC lacks authority but still if you know they are telemarketing, just have fun with it!  seriously!!say yes your interested and then no your not interested, and ask them to repeat the offer, as telemarketers they are on commission for the bulk of their cheques, and the more time they spend with one potential customer the less moeny they make....but don't be rude or abusive, just puts ya back on the return call list!
Oh and the National Do Not Call List can be downloaded and then sold to other countries for telelmarketing, that list is for CANADIAN telemarketing companies only!

I get calls from this number every now and then. Like many others I found out it is a scheme to 'help lower my credit card interest rate' lol yeah OK.
I believe they get around the "do not call list" because they are not in Canada therefore are not subject to our laws.
Canadian companies will begin to do this more and more, contract US or over seas phoning programs to call Canadian numbers.
I always press 2 to have my number removed from their list within three to five days ... so far it has not worked. They keep calling every so often.

Before 8am this morning.  Called three times in a row, we didn't answer because we didn't recognize the number. Just annoying as hell because the sound of the telephone is more annoying than the alarm clock.

Its a new thing, unlisted number hacking into your computer via phone line.  They have done it to mine.
I have had to add block on my phone for numbers that I don't recognized.
I have reported this to Phone Busters.
This is a big problem and a serious one.
I have added to my computer Advance System Care 3 and Avast AntiVirus.  These programs can be found in downloads.com  for free.
good luck

They keep calling my home phone every two three days, to lower my credit cards interest, I'm not interested. I got a call few minutes ago, I pressed one to speak to them and when I tried to ask not to call me anymore the guy hung up the phone. What can be done? Richmond Hill, Ontario

From Saskatchewan and all my family are getting these calls and if you question them they get vicious and foul mouthed. I am reporting the number to the RCMP and COS police.

I got a call from (949) 256-9110 and I didn't answer it, as it's a foreign number.
Figured that something was amiss since it's from Calif. and I don't know anyone there.

The 949-256 central office code is listed to "DIGITCOM SERVICES, INC." in Saddleback Valley, California. They seem to have a lot of trouble with this type of thing.

They bought the Canadian do not call list and call all numbers on it from the US. We need to write our MPs and tell them to make this illegal.

The most annoying thing about this number is (they called me about 3 minutes ago by the way) is if you want to speak to them you have to wait on hold for about 2-3 minutes. Unbelievable. I asked the guy the name of the company, he said they are called "Iroway Interest Reduction Associates." And what they do is negotiate with Visa/Master Card/etc. to lower your interest rate. I asked them since my Visa is provided through my bank, where does their company come in to play?

He told me my bank is actually ripping me off and they're here to put a stop to that...

Needless to say, I won't be wasting my time talking to them, except maybe to ask them (politely) to put me on the do-not-call list.

Also, I guess you could tell them that you do not have any credit cards or they've called the wrong name/number, I wonder if that would work?

When they ask for any info, just say I'll have to get it and leave the phone off the hook. After several minutes they'll hang up.

In answer how these U.S. marketers get our numbers?  Anyone who has a Shopper's Drug Mart Optimum Card beware.  Your information is sent to a data centre in the U.S.  Telemarketers pay to get this information and guess what?  You get all the phone calls.

Any kind of card, like Optimum, Air Miles, etc. all sell your information. These companies say they don't,  but there was a program on 60 minutes amd Fifth Estate confirming this.  AGAIN BEWARE!!!!!!

Guess these vultures are back for Christmas. Unfortunately, many people are rushed and some become more vulnerable.  I just become more pissed off. Be sure to report these folks if you are on the DNC list.

Called and I pressed one, spoke to a rep who asked about how much my loans are. I asked which credit card are they calling on behalf of, they said "all visas and mastercards" and I asked which bank they are affiliated with and they hung up on me. I found this odd and so I called the rcmp who then referred me to this site, everyone... go and REPORT it before some disadvantaged person ends up falling for it! http://www.phonebusters.com/

these criminals called me half an hour ago with "important information about your credit card". This is a total scam and the a-holes on the other end of the line deserve a public flogging.

"lower your credit card rate" & "made several attempts" (which is a lie).

As a Shaw Home Phone customer, I used "*60" to block them.

I have asked these companies to stop calling. I have asked for the full name of the company & a phone no# to contact a manager to try and end these calls. Nothing helps, yesterday I was verbally assaulted when I asked for the company name & phone no#. The man on the other end of my phone told me to f@ck off you stupid b***h, then I was told to get a gun put it my mouth & pull the trigger 3 times.
I cant seem to block these no#, & they still manage to call weekly. I have contacted my phone company & there is nothing they can do about these calls....REALLY....THIS SORT OF ABUSE IS LEGAL & CANT BE STOPPED!!! How is that so?
