I also got a call to 'lower my interest rates on my crdit card'. I have been getting them for months, with a message to 'press 9' to talk to a rep. Tonight I did, and immedietely asked to be removed from the list and to stop calling me. The person said that I would have to call a different number, to which I replied that I wanted HIM to take me off the list; I didnt want to have to call yet another number. He indicated that he could not take me off the list, only the people at the other number could. I replied that I would then file a complaint instead. He replied only with "Stupid mother #$%@%^. You're an idiot", and hung up.
Something tells me his reaction was not typical of your run of the mill telemarketer...
received a call from this number 310-986-9762, today (1/21/11), just a few minutes ago in fact. didn't answer & they didn't leave a message. I called this number back & it said: this number has changed, is disconnected or no longer in service.. Yeah right!
I have pressed 9 and got a female and I asked her "do I currently have a credit card with you?" She hangs up, every time. I had a fraud alert on my credit card from CA some toy store called SOE Toy Store. I have only used that credit card ONCE online and it was with Hewitt Packard back in August to order parts. How incredibly ironic.
