For all of those saying that the Do not call list is a waste of money...you have no clue do you? This IS NOT a telemarketing company. This is a Scam artist trying to get your Credit Card and other financial info from you to rob you blind. They do not reference that list and call randomly....that is why you will see a block of area codes listed here by day. They pick a random local bank, etc. and begin to call numbers in that region hoping to strike gold. With so many uninformed and unable to make that connection, no wonder they keep doing it.
Oh yeah, that email from Nigeria, it's not real either.
I answered b/c I'm so sick of getting these calls. It was an automated message that said to press one to talk to someone from card services to lower your interest rates. I pressed one, was redirected to someone who asked if I was contacting them in response to lowering my interest rates on my credit cards. I said you called me. He went on this whole thing about lowering my credit card debt, being associated with all Visa and MasterCard companies (???). Then he asked how much I owed on average each month. I said I pay it off every month and I'd really appreciate you taking me off your list. Before I could finish, he said we apologize and hung up very hastily. I hate these people!!!!
called me at 9:40 in the morning. Didn't leave a message. (as with all these other numbers doing the same thing lately). Thank goodness I leave my phone on silent when I sleep; I would've been pissed to be woken up by a stupid telemarketer!
