Really tired of all the phone calls about lowering interest rates.

Called at 4:05 pm. Left no message. Called ID says "Gresham OR". I put it on my personal black list. It will never bother us again.

Bullet to the head of the scammer would solve the problem

Another "lower your interest rate" robo call.  2:51 pm today.  Apparently the recording continues to be stupid and not recognize that my machine has picked up, so I always get the message somewhere in the middle.  The recording says "consider this your final notice"  Oh, if only that were true!!!  Idiots.

I just got another call from this "company."  Called 10/13/2012 at 2:07 PM

I receive calls from this company wanting me to lower my interest rates.  I do not know who they are, I have not asked them to contact me and want their invasion of my rights and life to stop!  I am on the DNC list which so far has done anything with all the companies constanly calling interrupting my life and time. The calls are against the law so who will take ownership and fine them?  They have no regard for the law or people.

I say track these mother fukkers down and execute them. Maybe that'll stop every other fukking scumbag from harassing us.

Called 10/12/2012 at 9:31 AM with yet another scam credit card offer.

credit card scammers ,robo calls wish i could get my hands on those sob b*****ds. never gonna get anything out of me ever wasting my time calling and calling,changing numbers . why cant the government stop those sob scammers once and for all.

I am so sick and tired of this nonsense.  We get up to 5 calls every day from these pests!  There has got to be a way of stopping this.  We are on the do not call list and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I have health problems and the constant calls are driving us nuts.

comtinous calls from "rachel" for months now.  three calls early this morning. called phone company in past -they couldn't help prevent rachel from calling.  DNC list no help.   complaints to variety of government agencies no help.  only two options: cancel phone service=no more calls of any nature- or find rachel and....tell her to stop-which i know she will not as this scam is run by companies like Pacific whetever in Oregon.   To find the hidden money trail these scum are enriched by seems fruitless as robocall devices cost little and get no benefits!   Neat deal huh? NOT good for phone customers though!   The DNC list is a joke where the numbers are probably sold to robocallers-for a kickback I would guess!

probably a medical debt collector since these calls started after I refused to pay a medical bill supported by altered electronic medical records. From a google search, seems the FTC last winter filed a lawsuit in California about these "heather" and "rachel" and "card services" robocalls, which continue. Given my insurance company's/medical group's oral insistence on their political clout with both parties and "all regulators" as well as their "property right" to alter records (despite Virginia law and the HiTech Act, as well as the FDCPA and the CanSpam Act among others), I suspect the call centers also do political work and this is their payday.

Uh, yeah, thanks for explaining the obvious. "DNC" can stand for many things but readers of this site should already be familiar with the FTC program.

Second call in the last month from these morons. I already know they are a scam. I have changed my tactics to making suggested remarks (from other posts here) to them after pressing 1.  What they do isn't nice so I don't have to be nice anymore. Blowing a whistle, using a boat horn, and also making cutting remarks.  Today I told the guy who answered he had a small you know what and hung up.

It's been a busy day, the scumbags are hungry and they want to wake you up in the morning...I've gotten 8 calls today (Friday 2012-09-14), including two new numbers, one named "LOWER INTEREST" which I have previously received from 503-902-8480, and one named "ARTHRITIS INFO" which I have previously received from 765-807-6509 and 516-224-0062:

480-350-9910 @ 2012-09-14 08:11am - HIGHLANDS
971-220-1787 @ 2012-09-14 09:19am - LOWER INTEREST (New number for this name)
623-335-2437 @ 2012-09-14 09:40am - No Caller ID Name
207-208-8635 @ 2012-09-14 09:45am - HEALTH CARE INF
623-335-2437 @ 2012-09-14 11:12am - No Caller ID Name
516-224-0063 @ 2012-09-14 12:03pm - ARTHRITIS INFO (New number for this name)
623-335-2437 @ 2012-09-14 12:37pm - No Caller ID Name
623-335-2437 @ 2012-09-14 01:27pm - No Caller ID Name

No typos here, these are the actual calls I got today, if anyone is skeptical that these are all coming from the same organization, this is pretty compelling evidence that they are.  More detail and numbers that have been bombarding me with calls are listed in my posts here:

http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-920-560-4999/7

do not call!!!!

So, What's your friggin' point?

SCAM ALERT Claimed to represent Visa, Master Card, and Discover (claim made more than once) and said he could tell me which credit card I have an outstanding balance on, then required personal information including my Social Security Number which I wouldn't give him. He then accused me of giving him the run around and told me my correct zip code, and said he has ALL my information right in front of him, so I told him he was the one giving me the run around because I don?t have an outstanding balance! Definite illegal practice by not telling me the real name of the company he was really working for.

10:37am today they called from 971-220-1787.  I pressed "3" to discontinue the calls.  As I suspected, but hoped not, pressing "3" merely verifies it is a live number.  Less than an hour later they called back:

11:21am today they called from 971-220-1783.

As I noted earlier, they have also called from 360-474-3904 on previous days.  I did not pick up then, but merely screened the call as the answering machine picked up.

Do not pick up the phone for these numbers.  Usually I don't but I had a weak moment of actually believing the 'remove from the list' system might be legit.  Woe to me for my own stupidity.  I will continue to record these phone messages, log them carefully, and plan my lawsuit per the advice of some others here.

Really, phone subscribers need to pressure their providers to stop these calls.  The phone service providers enable these crooks, sell them phone lists, and also limit the ability to block phone numbers so that these scumbuckets get the most hits possible and the recipients of these calls cannot do much about them.

We moved into a number that received up to 17 of such calls a DAY.  We insisted that Comcast change our number at no cost.  They had also published our number without asking us.  We have told them it is our intention to drop our landline completely if they do not find a way to prevent these calls.  It can be done.  A previous phone service provider offered a service that made all callers except for a select few favorites to enter digits by hand to get the call completed... this eliminated all robocalls from ringing and we were not bothered.

Honestly, we are so sick of the criminal cabal corporatocracy that sells out paying customers at every turn, undermines privacy, and generally laughs all the way to the bank.  We citizens really need to start hitting the corporates where it hurts... the bottom line... when they do such things as sell our numbers and info to harrassers.  Oh, and BTW, it is not just limited to corporations...  many state governments sell driver license/registration info to marketers and whomever else!  Amazing but true.  Search on it.

...and while you are searching, search "Stellar Wind" and look for the article in Wired magazine.  Citizens desiring privacy should LOVE that.  LOL.  Good luck.

telemarketers, isn't that illegal?

These people continue to call and harrass.  Also from 360-474-3904, and many other numbers.

Be sure to write down the various numbers attached to each scam recording.

At $1500 PER CALL potential payout, a lawsuit is a good idea  Way to go, Telehate.blogspot.com!  Keep up the good work!

DNC = Do Not Call

Interest in lowering my interest payment.

This is ANOTHER phone number in a string of calls from this company.

It seems that every time someone complains about a "phone number," they change it and call from a new one.

It is always the same recording telling me I can lower my interest rate on my debt (of which I have none other than my mortgage and student loans!).

This place needs to be shut down.  Keep filing complaints to the DoNotCall.org.  It is the only way this will eventually stop.

Was called despite being on the DNC list for my cell and my land line. They were offering to lower my interest rate if I had over $3000 in credit card debt. They word things in a manner that implies they are with your current credit card company. This is not true however it took me about 5 minutes of asking the same question in different ways for them to admit this. They claim that they are AMA Account Management Associates I believe is what they told me, before they promptly hung up because I asked what their actual name was.

I just posted a message and in the caller area I typed Lower Interest by mistake..still I want to never get another call from whoever this is...

Got a call today from this number "lower Interest"- I am on the DNC list and apparentlyl this doesn't work-

To have this #971-220-1787 to stop calling.  They are driving us nuts.
Would like to have this one gone.
Thanks

I keep getting these calls even after reporting to the DNC and FTC. I finally started taking my phone off the hook when I leave for work and hang it back up before I go to bed.  If anyone needs me, they can email me.  They have called me 8 times this year, been reported 8 times but nothing happens.  Telemarketers should all be taken out and shot, and then fed to the gators.
