Yeah dude I got the same call from this number as well, same "Hi Thing" Its pretty messed up that citizens of the united states cant even keep thier own cell phone number private anymore. Im thinking about tracking these people down myself. Its sad too because people like me actually do try thier best to handle things within the law. But the law only helps us so much, then they just dont care after a while. *Sigh* Wheres the Gat?
Just got one on my private CELL that I don't give out, don't use for biz. If you get these "lower your interest rate" people, they actually have NONE of your info til you give it. Ask what credit card they're calling about, or who they represent (bank? card co.? NO?) I prefer to keep asking questions til they realize I'm onto them and hang up - if they waste my time why shouldn't I waste theirs? Also agree with getting to the vendor who hired them - wonder if they know how many calls they pay for as live contacts when the guy just says "Uh hi" and hangs up.

Female caller left a msg making a referance to a previous conversation that we never had about how to lower my intrest rate on a credit card, I didn't listen long enough to know if I even havr this particular card or not.
