called me and left no message, looked up number and it as a caller from Calif who harrasses people to purchase his google ad services. he better not call again

949-461-1877, listed elsewhere in this list, claimed to be First Financial Credit Union and my Visa Card is suspended.  It asked me to forward my call to their security dept to re-activate the card.  Never heard of them.

Is currently calling members of Vantage Credit Union in St. Louis, MO attempting to gain credit card numbers and other personal information. Call is an automated voice claiming that the consumer's card has been temporarily deactivated. It then requests the account number to process the "simple reactivation."

Looks like this number is still phishing in the St. Louis area codes.  Just called me last night around 8:50 pm, no message was left.

called me at home on 8/31 and then on my cell 9/2 telling me my debit card has been deactivated and to enter my account number to reactivate.  When the call is returned says the number is no longer in service.

Called my cell phone three times today (9/26/09) around noon, about 10 minutes between calls.  Left no message.  I live in Maryland.

called me from (949) 461-1877 10:50am on 8-3-09 / Left no message

Just got a call from this number. Didn't answer since I didn't know who it was. Just tried to call back after readin the posts here and got a message saying "This number is not in service. Please try to dial again."

Called repeatedly before 8 in am harassing about credit accounts that are not even existent.

Got 3 calls on cell phone over 8 minutes from 949 461 1877.  Live in the Tulsa, Ok area and am a Sprint customer.  Did not answer phone because was waiting for whomever to leave message since they were obviously wanted to get a hold of me.  They did not ever leave msg.  Glad I googled!

this number called at 8:49am today. I was in school so I couldn't answer, and since I didn't know the number I obviously didn't want to.
this numer has an Orange County area code (949) so whoever and/or whatever is based in California. they never left a message.

I got a call from this number and am glad I didn't answer!

Got a phone call at my business by this number. He told me he wanted to make our buisness more visible when googled and would be willlng to help with that. When he asked me my name I asked him his name. He cussed at me and told me nice attitude your business is going nowhere with that attitude and hung up on me.

If you get repeat calls from these Ilocal SEM losers, keep the numbers on your caller ID, call the police and file a Police Report. You can use it later to press charges for harassment, violation of National "Do-Not-Call" list, and other illegal practices (your attorney will help you with that).
I have received 8 calls 1 to 1/2 hours apart. They never left a message. I was driving when several of them came in causing me to get extremely upset
and almost getting in a car accident with my wife on board. If there is anyone who experienced the same problem, let's get in touch. I have a proof of the calls in my phone log and receipts from the stores to verify I was driving at that time.

My son keeps getting calls from this number as well, asking for his C Card Number - he doesn't even HAVE a credit card!

how can we get this nutjob to stop?

Received an automated message saying my visa debit card had been temporarily suspended & to please press 1 to be connected to their security dept. I don't even have a debit card.

This post is accurate.  I experienced the same thing on 9/22/09 as well as a couple of weeks ago.

Three calls came in the space of 10 minutes from this number.  10:09 AM, 10:14 AM, 10:19 AM.  No message was left.  The caller ID on my cell phone only said, Orange County Area.  Sept. 19.  I don't have a business, don't belong to a credit union, and I don't need my Google ranking lifted so I don't know what they would want to do with me.  I'm in the St. Louis ARea.

I never answer calls that come from numbers I can't identify.

Called me three times in fifteen minutes.  I did not know the number but did know someone with this prefix so I answered thinking it was some kind of emergency.  I got a pre-recorded call saying my debit card from Vantage Credit Union had been deactivated and that I needed to stay on the line to get it reactivated.  I didn't fall for it and hung up but someone else like my grandmother may have fallen for it.  Someone needs to shut these people down.  BTW, I do not even have an account at Vantage Credit Union so these people were truly fishing for details in my case.

Called me and asked for my business name, which he already knew...

Thing is, he called the moment that I logged in to Google Voice to make a call, as it began to ring, and it was the first time I had used the Google Voice number in days. I thought that maybe it was a customer so I switched over from the other call to see who it was. Once I found out it was this smarmy sounding telephone marketer I hung up.

Afterward i thought how odd it was that he called the moment i used my Google Voice number through the Google.com/voice website. Makes me wonder just how secure the Google Voice system really is. It would be astonishing if the timing of his call was only a coincidence.

------So, you see IlocalSEM.com, I have just optimized this post for all your targeted keywords, you f'n' losers. How is that? At least it shows up better in Search Engines than your own IlocalSEM.com scam company website, and it's free of charge. S u c k on this, Bi tches!

It's www.IlocalSEM.com  When you call that #, the automated messages tells you that even if you show up in Yahoo and Google you will never be found. What bunch of B***s***. They also say that your yellow pages ads will not be visible because they are not optimized. Yet, another bunch of misleading b***s***. Your Yellow Ads will be as high as you pay to Yellow Pages. They claim that they have some strategic alliance with Google and other search engines implying that if we submit our business to Google local we have no chance to be listed at the top because they have some kind of monopoly agreement with them. So basically if you pay to ILocalSEM.com than they have a way to get you at the top of Google local. What a scam! If there is any attorney who will take this case, I will gladly testify. As soon as I see anyone suing these losers, I will contact the Firm to offer my testimony. They are freaking scavengers and predators. If you challenge any of their statements design to make you buy their s*** service, they get aggressive and rude. They at the end of the call tell you to go f.. yourself. I would love to smile in those pesky Internet rats' faces after the trial. It's not long before it happens. The ball is on the roll, bi****s!

These douches called me and told me that they would put me in GoogleLocal Search since they have a contract with Google. I asked them, if they were telling me that Google is getting a kick back from them for placing sites in Local Searches. He started telling me about placing links on my site and if someone clicked on them that's what would bring my rankings up in Local. This douche kept on making sh i t up as he went alone, then told me that they have an enormous client base. When I cornered him with my questions, he insulted me and told me to go F myself. So much for SEO... Oh, yes, my company site is on the 1st page in Google already. I told them to try my key-phrase, and this douche told me that I will not show up there. When he saw me there, he started pitching Google Local Search results. They don't even know what they are talking about. LOSERS!

Same experience as everyone else, got an automated call supposedly from USBank stating credit card deactivated and to press 1.  Hung up, went to bank next day to speak to customer service, the number says not in service when called.  USBank didn't show any interest, have already cancelled 3 accounts with their bank due to fraudulent use of debit cards.  How do scammers get this info?

I'm also in St. Louis. The call came to my cell phone--it was a recorded voice that told me my visa had been temporarily suspended and to press 1 to get it reactivated. When I pressed 1, I was instructed to first enter my 16 digit Visa number. I hung up.

they called me and said that my credit card was cancelled im 16 i dont evenn own a credit card. these people are either stupid or retarded. and the funny thing in my sister and her husband where called 5 minutes before me and they fell for it the had to call there bank and cancelle there card. but they got a call from a differnt number

My son got an automated call on his cell from this number.  The message said there was a problem with his VISA debit card and to push 1 to be transferred to someone who would fix it.  My son hung up.  I called the number from my work phone.  An automated message (that didn't seem to come from the phone company) said that the number was "not in service".  They are starting to phish via phone now.  Scammers suck!

Called my office and told my receptionist that he was John Mason and that she needed to interrupt me so that he could speak with me immediately. When asked what the call was about, he yelled at her and called her an idiot.  He said that I would fire her if she didn't put the call through. When she asked to take a message, he used profanity and hung up the phone.

I live in the St. Louis area and also received a call from this number yesterday with a pre-recorded electronic voice saying that my visa debit card had been deactivated. In order to reactivate it, it wanted me to press 1 to speak with their security personnel. I pressed 1 and automatically was asked for my credit card number. I then promptly hung up. This guy is obviously running a completely lowlife type scam.
