@ Josh: What you have listed is VERY good advice. Thank you so much for posting.
I have been getting phone calls from these jerks off and on for months now about credit card interest rates. It's a SCAM. They call from a different number each time. This morning I received a call from the 347-213-1780 phone no. I didn't answer the call when I saw it was an unfamiliar no. My phone lists this as being a cell phone number; but after typing it in here it comes up listed as a land line phone.
After further investigation the number is located somewhere in the New York City area. From other posters here I see that it is a Telemarketing operation.
Being on the Do Not Call List does no good at all. It's worthless. And these creeps WILL NOT take you off their list. In fact; once they know they have a real number they will start calling you even more frequently.
The best solution is to call your phone company's customer service and ask them about blocking unidentified phone numbers. Some companies have a code you can punch in which no longer allows unidentified numbers to ring through on your line. They can also block a certain number; but in this case they use a lot of different numbers; so that method won't work for these jack @sses!!

I am a Verizon customer, how many of the rest of you are too? Is Verizon giving personal information from it's customer database?

Verizon knows, they will surely understand my rudeness when a legitimate Verizon rep talks to me about their service. As in Eygpt eventually the people's anger will rise to the occasion and smite the ones that harbor the injustices. Death to the scammers. Shame on verizon for allowing this number to continue service after all the complaints I have read. One day we will learn how to strike back.
Very tired of lthese calls to lower my interest rate. Some clown, said his name was something "McFarland", needed to know if my interest rates were still over 15.9%! Do they pick these numbers out of the sky? Tried to impress me with "we deal with over 51 different credit card companies". How can these jerks be stopped from wasting our time?
