A message from "Rachel" telling me there is nothing wrong with my cards but that I should take advantage of rates as low as 3.9%. Thanks, Rachel! I did not answer the call, but my new friend Rachel left the message. Why can't these people be stopped?
Been getting these calls for a couple years. Finally, pressed number to talk to someone - as soon as I asked name of company, they hung up. Next time, I played along, answered a couple questions with lies, told them I wouldn't deal with any company that I don't know. They provided me a name, contacted that company (in Atlanta, Georgia) they denied being behind any calls - claimed they do no telemarketing. Multiple reports to to FTC and do not call list - Nothing. Submitted a complaint to State attorney generals office - NOTHING. Also requested help from phone provider. They won't help without a police report. Called police to submit a complaint, they won't issue complaint, because telemarketing not a crime - Catch-22 Whoever these idiots are, I hope they catch a severe disease. Not fatal, just painful, untreatable and long term.
Reward Solutions. Same scam/different caller ID. Wants to lower your card interest rate and if you choose to speak to them, they want your cc number and CVV code then they sell your card to identity thieves who immediately start using the card for high ticket items. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. Pressing the option to "stop the calls" or "opt out" is fake. It does nothing. It just hangs up on you. Scammers will not remove your name from their scam list. I know the phone companies know where these calls are really coming from but their solution? Pay a fee to track the calls. Nice huh? instead of being part of the solution, they are part of the problem by allowing these thieves to use their phone lines to scam people. If they find these people, I wish they would take the phone companies (in this case it's Verizon) to court with them.
