Got this call from Rewards Members and let it go to voice mail. After listening to the message i immediately added the number to my list of blocked numbers. Won't be bothered again by this scum bag!!!!!
I get a call from these folks every day. Starts off recorded and if I continue, I get an operator who wants me to give my credit card information so that my balances can be transferred to them and have a lower interest rate. When I ask them to put things in writing, they hang up.

I've probably received 50 calls from that number and a host of others using the same message on robot dialers and the same script if you get a live scammer after pressing the appropriate button. Being retired, I have plenty of time to waste their time. I string them along (Wow! I'd LOVE to get a better rate! Tell me MORE!") until they request a valid credit card number so they can check my credit. I ask, "Have you ever heard about the FTC Do Not Call Registry, [***]?" and hang up.
CNAM... 1-971-220-1997 . . . love answering machine services... if it's important, they'll leave a message. Thanks for calling... again, even after I've requested to be on the do not call list - 5 or 6 times. Definately never will get my business or any of my personal time. Thank you!
