The callers are the drug-addicted "card services" scammers, who call us, pretending to be associated with our credit card companies, in an attempt to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers, so they can rip us off. People that have given their card number to these junkies have suffered severe financial losses. Beware of these lowlifes, and warn others, before they are cheated! Further information regarding these degenerates, whose main targets are the low income and the elderly, may be found on 800notes 305-368-8260 through 8268.
The card service scammers WILL "service" our credit cards, BUT, when they finish "servicing" them, they will have no available credit remaining! These callers are especially dangerous, as they prey on the people who are the most vulnerable, those that do not have caller id and the internet to protect themselves. If you know of such a person, alert them about these lowlifes! Those persons could be your friends and relatives. ANY caller who claims to have the ability to lower credit card interest rates is a criminal!
I just got a phone call from these a**holes this morning. It was my fault to pick up and hear "Lisa's" automated voice telling me that I am eligible to reduce my credit card debt. So, I pressed (9) as requested and got transferred. When I asked to be removed fro their calling list, the person on the line told me to "Shut Up" and hung up the phone. I could believe myself...Did he just call me at home, invaded my privacy, disturbed my morning and on top of it all told me to "Shut Up"...The nerve of these parasites!!! I have a choice...Either I let it get to me and ruin my weekend, or just blow it off laughingly knowing that such solicitation won't stop...I chose the latter : )
P.S. Folks, if you see a number you don't know on the caller ID...Just don't pick it up. Or pick up and hang up immediately...This is becoming mildly entertaining and I won't let them spoil my leisure time nor more.
You're correct, anyone can receive a call from the card service scammers, as they us a robodialer, which dials numbers in a sequential order until someone answers, but people without caller id and the internet (many times the elderly and the low income, due to financial considerations) are the ones sought out by these lowlifes.
