This the 4th different phone # I have blocked from my cell phone.

Robo caller with the lowest interest rates. Can't the feds just trace the number and fine the crap out of them?

Caller ID says Boca Raton, FL

Since they hang up on you anyway, the best thing is to pretend interest but tell them you need to find your credit card. Then let them wait on the phone while you go about your daily business. Leaving somebody on hold without even making the slightest effort to follow up on what you told him you would do is probably the rudest and most disrespectful thing you can do to him--almost as rude as them hanging up when you ask for contact information or to be taken off their list.

Maybe string them along by saying "I thought it was in my desk but now I'm sure I put it in the other room" and then go back to working, watching TV, or whatever you were doing. Then maybe tell them at the end you wasted their time deliberately and maybe it's best they never call your number again if they don't want to be treated like dirt again.

My latest was to tell their rep I needed to lower my credit card rate but had to "find" my credit card, and left him waiting while I worked on my computer for a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, he hung up when I asked for a number where I could call back when I "found" my credit card. The one time they gave me a valid number (checked by calling back), I used it to file a Do Not Call violation complaint against them.

Called and left no message on recorder.

As of 08/22/2011, if you attempt to call this number, it is "disconnected or no longer in service."

I've been getting the same calls from "Account Services", with the same rude responses, for months now... they finally screwed up & left a msg on my voice mail, which recorded their # & here I am!

Have filed with my state DNC list, as well as the national DNC list & FCC.

Here's the national DNC list complaint form:
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

And the FCC complaint form:
http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

From another webpage similar to this, here's more info, from other posters (not me):
Associated numbers: 561-910-4713, 702-208-9797, 406-224-9078, 866-800-2202, 321-304-9999, 817-932-7031

And this appears to be the true company info:
Diversified Telecommunication Services
1025 Eldorado Blvd., Bldg. 2000
Broomfield, CO
80021
1-720-888-1000
Executive VP Thomas Stortz

Many many many calls from these yahoos "Account Services", but FINALLY they left a message, & my voice mail gave me their phone #, which is how I found this page.

Same encounters as many of you describe - rude people, being evasive, trying to get personal info, refusing to tell the real name of the company, eventually hanging up...

I've been reporting them to the WI Dep't of Consumer Protection, but with no real information there's not much that can be done.  NOW I have some information to pass along, with the phone # left on my voice mail!!

FYI, here's the WI online consumer complaint form:
http://datcpservices.wisconsin.gov/consumercomplaints/CPComplaintForm.jsp
Otherwise, if you just look for the "no call" complaint form, it'll only give you a PDF.

stop calling my phone.

I got the same "lower your interest rate on your credit card" call. A whistle blown at a strategic time does wonders!

I don't have not one credit card, we paid them all off. Life is so much better without because I use the "Bank On Yourself" system.   I don't know why they keep calling me or how the get my number about credit cards.

Can't anyone get these people to stop?  I mean can't they be prosecuted?

Here is what someone else posted recently:

1-561-910-4713 is owened by Diversified Telecommunication Services (LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS LLC -FL    but there real address and working phone # is 1025 Eldorado Boulevard Broomfield co 80021 bldg 2000  1-720-888-1000 give them a shout oh by the way the ExecutiveVPs name that you will want to ask for is (Mr Thomas c Stortz)lets

My pressing 2 you are sending them a message that they received a REAL phone number that belongs to a living person.  AND now your number will be sold to MANY other telemarketers. Callers like this do not have a service to remove your number as that is a scam.
Just saying...

Got another call from "Rachel." Answered and asked that our number be taken off their list (again). She argued that this was not a telemarketer! I threatened reporting them. "goodbye, have a great day."
scammers...scammers...scammers

They have called lot's of times and have never left message.

This is a "spoofing" call. If you happen to pick up when they call, do not give them any information.  They phishing for information that can lead to fraudulent credit transactions.

the # 1-561-910-4713 is owened by Diversified Telecommunication Services (LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS LLC -FL    but there real address and working phone # is 1025 Eldorado Boulevard Broomfield co 80021 bldg 2000  1-720-888-1000 give them a shout oh by the way the ExecutiveVPs name that you will want to ask for is (Mr Thomas c Stortz)lets all return there call i just did and i told them ill do it all day and night till thay quit calling me !!!

They call about once a week.

Want to lower my credit card rate. (They say!)

Very annoying!

Keep calling back..

I have been receiving harassing calls from this company for over two years. Even though I am on no call lists nothing is being done. I copied the news article from....
http://www.wesh.com/news/28541464/detail.html  onto the company owners facebook. If any one can get this scam artist telephone number mayby we could start calling him like he harasses us.

Thank you, person from Atlanta, for posting all the numbers that are being switched to.

Now we can turn BLOCKING ON! for all those numbers. And don't worry, we will send a complaint to the Do Not Call list and the brand new federal consumer agency as well. http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

If we help one another, we can stop scams and harassment like this.

They keep calling even though I've hit 3 to be removed and hit 1 to talk to someone and asked to be removed. The bi*** I just talked to hung up on me when I asked why they keep calling me even though I asked to be removed from their list.  When you call back you just get music.  The woman I talked to the other day said they are with Visa and Mastercard...she was nice enough but clearly they are a scam

I am so tired of getting this type of phone calls. I don't own my home and I don't have any credit cards. I am on the National Do Not Call list and this caller doesn't seem to have any trouble from the National Do Not Call list for making these calls. What good is the list if it isn't respected or the callers aren't stopped?

This call number(as with a few others) has been calling us stating with an automated voice that they are "Credit card services" saying that they can lower our card interest rates. It seems that they are phishing for some unlucky person who is trying to get out from under the pressure of higher credit card intrest rates.
This is a land line out of Boca Raton FL

I just rec'd a call from 561 910 4713. Did not answer, did not leave a message. I previously rec'd an energetic recorded message to "reduce my interest rate" to 6.9%. When I pressed 1 to talk to a representative, I asked which credit card they work with, they said visa/mc/discover. They slipped and changed their story, with "debt consolidation", then asked how much I want to sign up for? when I asked one more time about "which card?" and "which company do you represent?" they hung up!!  When I rang the number back, message said "no longer in service". VERY FRUSTRATING!! Seems like a scam! Are they nonprofit? What about DoNotCall restrictions? or is someone breaking the law? BEWARE!!!

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.

BEING ROBO CALLED BY A COMPUTER IS A FEDERAL CRIME. NEED WE SAY MORE?

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.

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

I live in Atlanta, and I've received unwanted calls from this number about saving on credit card debt, which i do not even have!

The calls all started with a recorded message like: "We might be able to save you money on your credit card debt. You need to act quickly now. This is the last call you will receive. Please press 1 to speak with an operator. Please press 2 to be removed from our call list."  Problem is that "2" does not work!!!

I've pressed "2" to discontinue these calls. It did disconnect the call promptly without confirming if i were added to their do not call list!! The same of type of calls keep coming back from different numbers.

On a call from 561-910-4713, I pressed "1" to speak with an operator. I waited more than 5 minutes to finally get a lady named "Selena" on the call. I asked her the name of the company she worked for. She replied in a trained voice: "At a credit card financial services company". I asked her: Which one? She replied: "Do you have more than $3,000 in credit card debt?" I asked her again: Please give me the name of the company you work for. She asked me again if i had credit card debt. The exchange of questions continued for 2 or 3 times. When i said i was receiving unwanted calls from her company, she replied "Our company does not place calls Sir. We simply answer phone requests". I insisted to get the name of her company. She hung up without even saying goodbye.

This is obviously illegal telemarketing. The switch between the company placing the calls and the company that answers when you press "1" does not make it legal. They are trying to get away with a pre-recorded message, followed by the callee's request who pressed 1 to speak with an operator. I hope someone is able to stop them as soon as possible..

More disturbing, I received similar calls from other numbers. It seems this company keeps switching numbers. On most of them i pressed "2" to be removed from their list. Calls then come back from another number:

561 910 4713 on (8/5/11 @ 1:18pm)
702 208 9797 (on 8/5/11 @ 10:30am)
406 224 9078 on (8/5/11 @9:41pm)
866 800 2202 (on 7/24/11 @ 3:21pm)
321 304 9999 (on 7/20/11 @ 5:18pm)
817 932 7031 (on 7/19/11 @ 4:49pm)

I hope someone is able to stop this company's harassing telemarketing, and fine this company for its illegal practice. My phone number is registered on the Do Not Call government list since September 23, 2003. I just checked again at https://www.donotcall.gov/confirm/conf.aspx

I reported this unwanted call at https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

I encourage you to do the same!! Hopefully, the people running this 800notes blog can act and elevate this issue to stop this company.

I'm sick of these people calling me. I don't even have any credit cards to get a low interest rate. When I press "1" to speak with someone to inform them I'm on the "DO NOT CALL LIST" they very rudely hang up. I know these are scam calls to get your credit card information. I wish they would lose my phone number.

make a complaint about calls from 561-910-4713
they are calling numbers on do not call lists about credit debt and getting low rates

Don't rely on Do-Not-Call anymore than you would rely on the government from overspending and overtaxing.  The FCC is good, but takes a while.  In the mean time, you might consider
http://www.phonetray.com/phonetrayfree.htm
I have used it for about a year and it works well in eliminating the idiots because all they hear is "This number has been disconnected or is no longer in service......" or your choice of message.  The down side is that your computer has to be on, but mine is most of the day.  Worth a try and FREE.

Got that lower your interest rate call today. Interest rate is irrelevant to me because I pay in full every month. I understand that credit card companies refer to people like me as "deadbeats." My caller i.d. will now show "DNA" -- "do not answer" -- for that number.
