This is a scam trying to get people's credit card info.
Just got a call from this number saying they were from "my" credit card company (didnt mention the bank by name or ask for me by name), offering to lower my interest rate.
I asked which credit card company they were calling from, he named about 5 national banks and claimed they represented all of them. Neither of my credit cards were from any of those he listed, which I told him.
He then claimed they represented other banks too and asked what company I had. I didn't tell him but asked again where he was calling from. He again said they represent lots of banks and said he was calling about a card with a $3,000 balance and over 10% interest. Again, this matched neither of my cards.
I told him it sounded like a scam which obviously annoyed him. He became irritated and started protesting but I told him again it was an obvious scam and he wouldn't get my credit card info and hung up.
Put the blame where it really lay's, with the criminals and illegal telemarketers.
The DNC works just fine. It is for telemarketers only and honest business does indeed abide by it. It is the criminals (which includes illegal telemarketers), frauds and scammers that do not. However, the Fed. DNC does not cover some survey's, Political or Charities. You would need to check your states DNC laws to see if these are under your states DNC laws. The fact remains that they are not automatic call blockers though and can not protect you from the calls that are criminal, illegal or fraudulent.
Do consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
Los Angeles. Didn't want to talk to me bad enough to leave a message. Don't answer calls from people you don't know. If it's legit, they'll leave a voicemail.
323-318-3008 was a telemarketer stating my credit card is eligible for a different interest rate, blah, blah, blah. I am on the do not call list since its inception. This is a scammer. I have reported this number and other to the FTC and I'm still getting robo and telemarker calls. STOP IT.
