Received a call from this number on my business line. Same BS about "Card Services", "lower your interest rate", etc. I said "But you are not my bank" and she said "We work with Toronto Dominion, Royal Bank, CIBC, Bank of Montreal" etc. Told her not to call again.
Same: The standard "urgent message" about lowering your credit card rates. I planned to ask to be removed from their list and to complain about them so I pressed through to the operator and asked to confirm that the name of the company was "card member services." They just hung up with no answer.
We need an international US-Canada agreement on DNC prosecution and of course Canada needs a less stupid DNC list format.
I am on the Canadian DNC List which is only good if the call originates in Canada...Just got a call from this number. the recording said they were calling in reference to my Credit Card bill..ummm, HELLO? I don't have any Credit cards!!!!.. that in itself showed me it was a Scammer... I didn't even listen after they mentioned my "credit Card bill" and hung up
These guys are "Card Services". They make it sound like they are from your bank and when I asked them, which bank do you represent. He said " i am not from a bank" and hangs up.
Basically one of those scammers who try to reduce to your credit card interest rates.
Our friends at "Card Member Services" are now "Card Holder Services" and are still promising a "must act now!" "lower your credit card interest rates" offer. They've also switched to using Press '9' to speak to a representative and '8' to be removed from their calling list.
Natch I pressed '9' to see if my "dumb as a sack-of-hammers" routine would play out. Unfortunately our connection was very faint and I don't think she could hear me so *she* hung up. Blast! I wanted to play the mouse cruelly.
Pressing '8' is just an "I can't come to the phone right now" invitation for them to call you again.
