Ditto on the recording. I've received calls from them many times. I hit 9 to speak to the operator. I was going to let him waste his time giving me his pitch and I was going to lead him on... as background noise while I was paying my bills. When he answered, he spoke with a very strong East Indian accent and I couldn't understand what he said, so I said, "I'm Sorry?", then he immediately hung up on me.
recording said I could lower my credit card rate. I have no credit cards. I pressed "9" to lower my credit rates and got Shawn. He said "you pressed 9 to lower your credit card rate". I said, "actually, I pressed 9 to get you to remove my number from your calling list". He pressed disconnect.
I received the same call today with the same credit card, final notice, blah, blah, blah. I, too, pressed 9, was connected with some girl who kept calling me "hon", and I asked why she was able to call me when I was on the do not call list. She told me that it wasn't her department, but that she could help me lower my interest rates. I told her that I didn't understand why she could call me, she said that she helps lower Visa and Mastercard rates. I asked her if she was representing Visa & MC, she said no, but that she was trying to do me a service. I asked her if they trained her to call people "hon." She said no, but that she didn't know my name, and had to have something to call me. I told her she should try ma'am. I asked her if she could put me on their do not call list, she again told me that it wasn't her department, I asked her if she could transfer me to someone that could. And then she hung up on me. Surprise, surprise, surprise. I tried to call the number back that came up on caller ID and it was disconnected. I filed a complaint with the national do not call registry.
Same as rest, can lower interest on credit cards. I wish the goverment would shut down all these people. As far as I'm concerned they can all go jump in the lake. I've deceided that I'm going to get myself a whistle and start busting some ear drums. Then we'll see how many times they call back. I'M SICK OF YOU PEOPLE.
