I get a call from these guys every few weeks.
the only time I used this number on line, I entered it at this website: www.wawacredit.com (back in Sept 2010) and they've been calling me ever since. it's an off shore telemarketing office, accents sound like they're from India. Every time they call I ask to be removed from their list and they keep calling.
and yes, as soon as I tell them I'm not interested they start swearing. It's sort of fun to hear them mispronounce foul language. The calls are annoying.
If you say you are interested they'll transfer you to another telemarketing firm somewhere in the US who pays around $50 for the live transfer lead. I've done this a few times just to see who is doing it, but they are just as phony and they start calling then, too. Then (this is the best part) the US company re-sells the lead to three other firms for $50 each. It's a racket.
whois.com does not give info on this web site www.wawacredit.com, sadly. It's masked.
but a friend of mine was able to find the name of the guy who claims to own the site
his name is Nirmal Singh. 888-888-9914 ext 336
Good luck getting them to take you off their list though. Since they're not in the US they really don't care what you think. If you can get the name of a company buying their leads, please post it here so we can get a state AG or the FTC to get them to do something about it.
They have been calling me several times per day. I have asked several times nicely to be taken off the call list. I have even sat through the ridiculous script and waited on hold to ask the supervisor to take me off the call list, but the same guy continues to call me, and today, he called me a [***]. Is there really nothing we can do about this? And, how the hell did they get my cell phone number?
OMGosh! I get a call from 347-628-3160. Says he is Kevin from Consumer Financial Services and that we had a conversation in December about consolidating my credit cards. I said no, he said yes, back and forth.
He states I have credit card debt, I say I am not comfortable discussing my personal finances with him. Kevin (obviously from India) gets testy and says he isn't selling anything, but that I can lower payments without paying anything. I tell the guy I am sure he's busy so please take my number off of the call list I am not interested. At that point he gets belligerent and says he NEEDS to have a good reason why I won't do what he's asking and I say "Kevin, DUDE, I don't care about your NEEDS - you are a SOLICITER! Good-bye!" Who are these people and what on earth makes them think bullying potential customers is a way to build a business? Is this strategy working for them? I am aghast!
