Just received a call from this number on my cell phone but no one responded when I answered the phone. When I re-dialed the number back I got a recording saying it was JC Penney Credit Services. I don't even have a JC Penney account and I sure as heck won't open one now!
I have been getting 10-15 calls a day, maybe more, for weeks. They call as early as 7:30 am, even on Sunday. I called the number back and it goes to JC Penney credit services. I seldom use my card and it is up to date. They have no reason to call me. I talked to a JC Penney representative who claimed to know nothing about these calls. They said they would put my # on block from JC Penney but it would take 15-30 days. Runaround.
I have tried answering and saying nothing and also saying, "hello". There is someone on the other end who is silent and hangs up after about 5 seconds.
I have filed a complaint with my state Attorney's General office.
I was called 7 times by this number on a Saturday. I also received an email from them about money owed on my Lowe's account, so it is presumably a collection agency (an extremely annoying one!!)
Same thing--four to five times per day. Never leaves a message.
I finally called the number back just now (blocking caller ID just in case) and the recording said it was J.C. Penney credit services.
I agree with BrianP: if it were important, they should leave a message. Five calls per day is very annoying, especially when I'm trying to sleep (I work the night shift). I would be more likely to answer or at least take action if I thought it wasn't a low-life telemarketer (which is why I've been ignoring the calls).
They call all the time. 5-6 times a day. I have a JC Penny Credit Card that I missed a payment on and they acted like I was an estranged spouse. I was at first constantly recieving calls from an Unknown number. Then I started getting this number. When the Unknown number would call, I finally answered and said that I had the payment in the mail. Well 3 days later (mind you, this was on Thursday. So the next call took place on Monday) they kept calling. I want my name off thier list. I cut up the credit card. Paid the bill off. And they KEEP calling.
