If the "card services"scammers call enough people they will eventually find someone stupid that will fall for their scam.Those taken in are beyond hope and deserve the consequences!

They are scaming crooks, anyone who calls that much with-out a message could be no one else.
I have gotten the same message from 5 different numbers today stating that same crap about the stimulus. I have called the other two numbers back and have asked to be removed from calling list; I guess when I ask to be removed they transfer me to another number. What in the world is going on?
They are criminals. It is not just one operation, it is a network. The FTC will shut one down, and another will spring up. Every national news organization and every major newspaper has reported on this annoying scam. The calls will continue becuase there are gullible people who continue to fall for it, which keeps the lights on and the operation going. All they are doing is stealing your credit card information. First of all, telemarketing calls are illegal. period.
Never ever give out personal information over the phone. Dont call the number back, dont press any button, just ignore the calls and report them (every single one) to the DNC list. If it was the last call you can press *57 to trace it. But just ignore the calls. The call signs are all the same, a foreign number out of area call, all robo calls, same message, same fake caller id and caller. ROBO CALLS ARE ILLEGAL AND DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE.
Warn the elderly and the vunerable. Blocking number is completely useless. Report to DNC list and Attorney General Office. Visit FBI website and FTC and DNC list website for IMPORTANT information regarding this scam.
This criminal organization is responsible for pretending to be a lot of other legit organizations, companies, people, etc. So the best thing to do is hunt em down and lock em up for a long time. Shutting them down works for a while, but they'll pop up somewhere else. Their enablers must be locked up as well. They are the ones who are responsible for outsourcing crime.
Plus there is no stimulus regarding interest rates nor financial asisstance. These criminals are using your gullibility to doop you. So obviously that should be a dead give away other than the caller ID!!!!
When you call the number back or press any number, you VALIDATE your phone number for more calls. So dont do it! They use computers to auto dial millions of numbers. When you press a number, it FOWARDS your call to a back door criminal operation. Gotcha! Your number is a working number to be sold to others criminals and for continued calls. JUST IGNORE. Trying to waste their time or getting them back is pointless. They will still call you. Know the signs. The calls signs are all the same. A simple GOOGLE card services scam, or heather/racheal robo call scam will bring up a slueth of information.
TELEMARKETING ROBO CALLS ARE ILLEGAL. NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. Not to creditors, bill collectors, charities, or expecially random calls who wont give organizations name and hang up on you. Know your laws folks.
