The card services scammer's recorded message should say "press 1 now to speak with one of our friendly customer services agents who will be happy to rip you off, in order to earn their commission to pay for their drug habit".
Just got a call from the same number with the exact same message, so I pressed 1 and asked who they were, who they were calling and in reference to which card, in which case he just said yes you can lower your rate, again I asked the same 3 questions and they hung up! I knew they were scammers cause nothing they said in the recorded message was true!
"Card member services. This is your final courtesy call before we close the file on your annual credit card account review. We have sent you several courtesy letters to your residence. This is the last time to take advantage of lowering your credit card interest rate. Press 'one' now to speak to a friendly customer services agent."
Caller ID said Rebate Center, recorded message said that this was my final notice for lowering my credit card interest.. Have had many calls from them befiore, same message.
I never answer phone calls from unknown callers and my answering machine hasn't been turned on since before elections 2012. But from reading the other entries from people who actually spoke to one of these butt-wipe representatives or at least heard some robo voice giving a spiel, it's obvious that this is indeed a telemarketer. They seem to have been around for quite some time under different Caller ID names, but the same phone number. They, like apparently all telemarketers obviously have nothing to fear from the DNC. Every time I receive a call like this, I imagine the individual who is in charge of perpetrating such a scam, is really not trying to lower your credit card rates, or audit your household energy costs, but instead is really trying to sell 8X10 full color glossys of the weekend he spent in upstate NY having sex with all the farm animals.
