Did not answer due to lack of info. given to my caller ID.
Then called them back and got message that "the number you have called is not in service @ this time..."
Got another phone call from an out-of-state number
that I don't "know" or recognize.
I didn't answer, but looked up the number here.
They left no message.
I am on the National Do-Not-Call List,
and have been for over a year now.
(I guess this is our government at work for us.)
I'm going to http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
again, AND to https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
again, and see if that can get the government
to work for me, again, and stop these calls.
(Yes I will go through all those steps again.)
We should all pile on.
[I have also bookmarked these URL's.]
SCAM ALERT!!!
From what I have been able to put together on calls from Credit Card Services or a like named company, they use a Robo caller from numbers like the ones below:
302-394-9659 281-217-0241 503-457-1102
619-279-1287 708-417-2636 949-527-1674
213-791-8623 610-606-4600 773-449-5041
316-789-1356 832-457-4063 503-468-5545
212-249-2549 800-847-2900 480-359-4336
773-449-5058 951-000-2145 201-632-2362
The source of your number on their list seems to be from the 3 Credit Bureaus and the Direct Marketing Association. Credi Card Services buys a marketing list from the Credit Bureaus and DMA then harvests contact names and phone numbers from this list. They can not get account numbers on the list, but you are on the marketing lists if you have some kind of credit to be listed (Home loans, credit cards, phone bills, electric bills, cell phone bills, etc).
You can opt out of the marketing list with the Credit Bureaus, it takes a month or so to take effect. To do it, log onto:

To opt-out of telemarketing calls:
Responsible marketing companies respect your choice to not receive telemarketing calls. DMA members, as a condition of membership, are required to suppress the phone numbers of individuals who have notified the DMA that they do not want to receive telemarketing calls.
If you would like to opt out of telemarketing calls, send your complete name, address and telephone number to:
DMA Telephone Preference Service
P.O. Box 1559
Carmel, NY 10512
As a DMA member, Experian subscribes to and suppresses any phone number on the DMA's Telephone Preference Service file from its telemarketing lists.
Contact the Credit Bureaus (google search) and use the Bureaus websites, to Opt-out.
I also use the call blocking feature of my wireless carrier to block calls. I add new numbers to block from this company.
