Card Member Services. THEY WILL NEVER STOP CALLING, SO... “GET EVEN”.
When they call press (1) to be connected to “LIVE OPERATOR” (this will waste their time).
They will try and get as much personal information from you as they can – GIVE THEM FAKE INFORMATION. I usually tell them I have 2 or 3 credit cards with a balance of 7k to 15k and interest rates from 15% to 21%, using this method will keep them on the phone longer and you can waste more of their time. At some point they will ask the name of the credit card, toll free customer service number and credit card number with exp. date (many times they will ask for the last 4-digits of your social security number) REMEMBER, DO NOT GIVE “REAL” PERSONAL INFORMATION OUT TO THEM AS THEY STORE AND SAVE ALL INFO.
Here is a list of numbers Card Member Services has used this week:
I got 3 calls today on my cell phone and I did not answer any of them. But at least 2 of the same numbers that were bothering Nick were also bothering me. The numbers were 602-774-3470 207-829-6517 and 701-771-9654.
Not sure why I waste my time to be on the do Not call list, because some places don't let that stop them from calling.
I think it's interesting that they call themselves Credit Card Services and don't say for which company they are calling from, I only know this because I have made the mistake of answering in the past. Then they have the nerve to ask my credit card number and rate! Shouldn't they know? After all they are the "Credit Card Services"! I think they are a TOTAL SCAM!! Please Beware and NEVER give out your personal info to someone who you don't even know that just calls you out of the blue..
If I don't recognize #, I don't answer. Another "No Name" call to cell 3:54 p.m. 2-6-14. As usual, hung up before call went to voicemail. To me, all these calls are from telemarketers.
Another "Account Services" scam promising to use the government stimulus to reduce your credit card debt. It is a scam, plain and simple. These people have been calling me for about 4 years now and will not stop. They use ever-changing Caller IDs (always spoofed) and they refuse to tell you who they work for. If you ask, they'll say that work for Visa Mastercard Discover and American Express (no one works for all four).
The voice of this recording was "Leah" but it's the same scam from Rachael and Anne I've heard for years. I think anyone working for these fiends (including Leah, Rachael, and Anne) should be put in a canoe in the middle of the Pacific and told "good luck" as the boat sails away.
I have notice within the last six(6) months that I've been receiving an enormous amount of calls from various unknown area codes and phone # like (207) 829-6517. So Im having to block out a lot phone numbers on a daily basis.
As of today at 1:02 PM, I received a call from (207) 829-6517. I had no knowledge of the phone # and individual. However, the name Richard Chilcott came up as the caller for (207) 829-6517. From this point on I decided to contact 411 to inquire additional information about this number. I also ask the operator if there was address on file applicable to this phone number and she provided the following information: (Certain states not all will give the address associated with phone number).

My further intent will consist of adding his information to the do not call list, and also filing a complaint with the police near his home location in Maine. This should fix his [***] all together. Game over!
