Caller immediately hung up when I answered. I called the number from my cell phone, and it immediately went to a voice mail message that said, "Thank you for calling back." If you are not interested in our promotions and wish to be put on our 'do-not-call list', please press 1 now..."
I never oblige these message requests with a response. I want them to think that I dialed a wrong number, thus not confirming their initial call to me. That would give them both my cell# and my landline# that they originally called.
They want you to call back or at least 'look' up their number. That costs $$$ and you will be giving out
your credit card ## to do so. SEE the whole PICTURE (?)
Company is called Bank Card Services and they have several different numbers they use. I have reported them numerous times to the DO NOT CALL Registry as a complaint but nothing has been done. I think they keep switching numbers. They are annoying as hell and like a plague of locusts - you can't get rid of them. One thing I have done is to set a certain ring tone (if you can) to all my contacts in my phone book. When I don't hear that ring, I don't answer. They are peddling credit cards of which I have none and don't want one. Does not good to give them the business because they just hang up and a week later will call again.
Caller ID read "Card Services." Hung up on my answering machine. I have received other calls from "Card Services" via different numbers. Most calls begin with automatic message to the effect of "this is your final notice about your credit card service"...except I don't have any credit cards!
