Have gotten calls like this several times with this being the first one from this number... 971-220-1980. The ID box had REWARD SOLUTION and they left the message about lowering my interest rate on my credit card. I'm no dummy!!! I don't answer calls from people I don't know personally. This is nothing but a BIG FAT SCAM!
Robo call. Caller ID read "Card Service". I've been plagued by this number for weeks now, so today I pushed 1 to "speak to a live operator." When the woman answered I started to ask her to remove me from their call list but she hung up on me before I could complete a sentence.
Because of her rudeness, I'm now making reports to the FTC, National Do Not Call List and our state's attorney general.
Pre-recorded message about lowering credit card interest rates. Did not ask for me by name, and did not identify which bank they're from. Most likely an identity theft phishing scam.
Keep getting these calls. Says to press 1 to talk to someone, 2 to be taken off the list. It doesn't work to hit 2. If I get a person, they hang up as soon as they know I'm not interested.
I suspect it is a scam to harvest credit card numbers.
Next time, I think I'll hit 1 and when someone comes on the line, I'll just respond with the longest string of the foulest language I can think of :-). If they're going to keep calling, I might as well have some fun.
Option 2 - maybe I'll just pretend I don't speak very good English, and, in broken English ask if they have anyone who speaks, say Croatian or Turkish.
Said Gresham on Caller i.D. Did not answer. But, they left a message:
Urgent I contact them re: last chance to lower the interest rate on my account. It was Rachel calling, my 'last chance' to lower my rate .... blah, blah, blah., to like 6+ percent. Called Saturday, December 10 at 9:05 AM.
It isn't any account I have, in that we pay cards current each month anyway
Said she was Rachel from "Cardholder Services," blah blah, nothing wrong with your account, trying to help me save on interest rate, I pressed 1...all I did was tell her my phone number and before I could say anything else she hung up.
