This number calls a couple times at week. Never leaves a message. I don't answer numbers I don't recognize, especially when they come from all the west coast and I live on the east coast. They have been blocked now. Why doesn't the DNC help us out?
(206) 582-7956 Robo call recorded 31 March 2015 ("Carmen at Cardholder Services...reduce your rate...consider this your final notice..." Credit Card SCAM)
Caller ID: "Rx Assistance"
"Carmen" calling me back using a secondary call number after I block thier primary calling number. I'm experimenting. Normally, I don't bother to block their calls because I recognize the number and ignore it. But by blocking now, I'm forcing them to disclose new secondary numbers when they call me back which I immediately report on web sites like this to help readers, like you.
The recording of this "lower your rate" call is exactly the same past calls but from a new number to avoid call blocking. The recorded message is their usual patter (see below) followed by a 7 second pause, then they say "good bye" and disconnect. when I failed to press any buttons.
Their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethics, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of their latest offering:
[female voice] "Hello, this is Carmen at Cardholder Services calling in reference to your current credit card account. It is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate. Please consider this your final notice. Press the number 1 now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate or press the number 3 to discontinue further services. Thank you and have a great day."
[7 second pause] [female voice] "Good bye".
Thanks to Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice ) you can hear this recording on my Spam Calls web page:
Folks, please don't blame the DNC registry. These telemarketers are doing this against the laws designed to protect us from them. The DNC doesn't know they are calling unless we report them! So fine, go ahead and block the calls, but please also go to the DNC and REPORT these jerks!!!
