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!
In the past week I've received a large number of telemarketing calls to my cell phone. I've had this number for years and rarely ever gotten them before. Apparently I'm now on someone's list. This one comes up "VisaAssist" on my caller ID. These are obvious scams that try to induce you to give them confidential financial and personal information that they then use to perpetrate identify fraud.
I pressed #1 to speak with a live person who, under the guise of wanting to lower my credit card interest, solicited my SSN, address, credit card numbers, etc. Instead, I asked him to remove me from his call list. We'll see.
I am SICK AND TIRED of getting calls during dinner from this number. it is RIDICULOUS! I pressed one to "lower my interest rate" just to get a human on the phone. I got some woman who said hello and asked me if i pressed one to lower my rate. I said, "No, I pressed one to find out what this call was about." she got a bad attitude and said, "ugh, it is to lower your interest rate" I told asked her if she worked for any of our current credit card companies and she said no. Since she got a poor attitude I decided to return the favor. I said, "So basically you are calling my house every day, disrupting our family dinner time, soliciting us? I don't WANT any service from you. My current credit card company offers the lowest rate available, they have great customer service, and best of all they don't use solicitation on their customer!" She got pissed and said, "Well EXCUSE ME for trying to help, sorry to BOTHER you, just disregard this call" I started to say something (please take us off the call list) and she hung up on me while I was talking.
Caribou, ME was in my caller ID...Got my first call today. I never pick up any calls I don't know and usually they quit calling after a few tries and if that doesn't work I program my phone not to accept a certain number. So much for the do not call list....so much for our bs goverment. so much for money hungry doctors...This country is really starting to suck... We are on our way down to third world status. I can truly understand why some countries what to kill us...The youngest country that knows it all and [***] on the earth more than any other....we are pathic just like the telemarkerters
