I have been getting calls from this number for months. Sometimes twice a week. I never pick up on the call.
My answering service picks up the call. This call comes up on caller ID as CARIBOU-207-493-2647 ME. It has also came from another number with the same message!
I also have a do not call list on my phone number. I have an unlisted number with the phone company, i pay extra to have it unlisted!
"Rachel, from Credit card services...." (Thank you computer Rachel). I've asked to be added to their DO NOT CALL LIST BEFORE and still get calls. Getting old.
This company ID's themselves as MasterCard Member Services. I called my Mastercard 800 number to enquire. They assure me this call was NOT from them.
These people are ultimate violators of the do not call registry. They won't id themselves. They won't honor the restrictions. They immediately hang up if you try to ask any questions. I can't understand why the government doesn't sue them. But whatever you do--don't do business with them. Don't even think of giving a credit card number to people this sleazy who have 0 regard for the law
I have been getting repeated calls from this number for weeks. I usually don't answer, but last night a call came in after 9pm so I did, and it was a recorded message about "lowering your credit card interest." Today I got another call and this time I listened all the way through hoping to eventually speak to a live person. I was given the opportunity to select "1" to speak to a real person. A man came on the line and I told him I am on the do-not-call registry and told him to remove my number from their lists. HE REFUSED. He actually flat out said "NO." He was arrogant and smart-mouthed and said "Do you know what company I'm calling from?" "How do you know we don't have a prior business relationship?" I said that what I do know is that they have to remove me if I request it. And he said no again, and then said, "How about if I call you to tomorrow to see if your attitude has changed?"
The number shown on my caller ID is 207-493-2647 but no name comes up with it. A reverse directory search did not come up with a name either. A web search came up with this page.
I have filed complaints with both the Do Not Call Registry and the FCC. At this point, combining the incessant number of calls with the unprofessional behavior of the person on the line, I think they've progressed from telemarketing to HARASSMENT. Though seeing just the number of complaints listed here - and I'm sure there are many, many more - I don't hold much hope of anything actually happening to stop these people.
