Call received no message left when I did not answer. Called back from business line so as not to get them proof my number existed. Call cannot be completed as dialed. So I can't even call them back to take my number off.
When I called the number back today it was a recording that stated "If you'd like to be placed on a Do Not Call List for the number that called you please press 1 now"
Just got a call from this number on my cell phone. No message left. I called the number back from my work phone and it was a recording saying "If you want to be placed on the do not call list for the number that called you press 1 now" I did not press 1. it kept repeating and i eventually hung up. SCAM/SPAM/ANNOYING!!!
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They ask for your expiration date of your credit card. They also know your account balance because your credit card company sends this to credit bureaus like FICO. They give you this info to make you think they are legitimate but they are NOT. After receiving this call, I contact my Discover credit card company and they verified that they did not call me and do not recognize this number.
They call and leave a message saying they are calling only once to LOWER YOUR CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATE.TO 6.99%, WITHOUT GIVING THE NAME OF THE CARD ISSUER. They are not talking about lowering your overall rates, they say "YOUR CREDIT CARD", implying ONE SINGLE CARD, and they will most likely try to milk out the card info from you. If they can't succeed in the number, they may still find out the card issuing institution' name, and of they have, or can get your name, then they may potentially figure out a way to obtain your numbers as well.
The message says to PRESS 2 TO BE EXCLUDED FROM ALL CALLS.
If you press 2, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ARE A REAL PERSON, AND THEY WILL NOT ONLY KEEP CALLING YOU, BUT THEY MAY SHARE OR SELL YOUR NUMBER TO OTHER COMPANIES AS PART OF A MARKETING LIST.
These are automated cold phishing calls. They don't even known if the number exists, and if it does, whether it is a person or a business. They may call a few times and if nobody picks up in person, they may remove the nber from their calling lists. However, once you answer or press anything, you simply give them confirmation that you are a real person.
They should arrest people like this bur the government obviously doesn't give a rat's [***] as else, they would have alrwady put an end to most of these calls. Making it a crime punishable by leven a few months of jail time would be deterrent enough to stop most of these calls.
