Call would not disconnect no matter how many times I tried to hang u. When a person finally got on the line she said we will never stop calling and would not disconnect the line. She then kept calling back to threaten me FROM THE ABOVE NUMBER. I want this company punished!! She stopped calling after I told her I recorded every call and she made after the initial call.
For more than several years, we have been receiving calls from "Cardmember Services" offering to lower the interest on credit card debt.
Desperate to stop the calls by making a formal complaint with Ariizona's Attorney General office, after one of the many calls I received that day, I spent a significant amount of time and effort spoofing the caller by telling him my AmEx card had thousands of dollars of receivables on it that I was unable to pay and asked for detailed and specific information.
He "hummed and hawed" over my story for several minutes and, before (he) abruptly hung up, said "...you [***], you have wasted my time".
Does anybody out there have any idea how we can gang up on theses predators by pleading with some government authority to shut them down?
This morning after an early call (we are retired and enjoy sleeping late), I shouted an obscenity and hung up. He immediately called back. When my wife answered, he said "...you'd better tell your husband to be very VERY careful using profanity at someone he doesn't know..." (paraphrased)
You are heading in the right direction as far as stopping their calls by wasting their time. You need to sound sincere about accepting their offer, sound a little bit slow and have your script all prepared and written down. Also don't let them know they've been had--- they will call you more often just to annoy you if they figure you are playing games with them. Google my name to see how I eliminated their annoying calls if you're interested in the method I used.
Got a call from 321-365-999, some call center claiming to be Card Services & said could lower my interest rates. They were able to verify a balance but when I asked them for a number I could call them back on they hung up on me. I tried to call the number & it doesn't go though. Total scam job.
You can report them at donotcall.gov, but these people seem to be useless also. But you CAN blow an air horn in his ear, like I do. It DOES seem to make them think twice...Anywho, don't be fooled; these a-holes are IDENTITY THIEVES!
