I did not get an opportunity to ask them not to call me. The message states they can help lower my interest rate (wich I do not need) and then states to speak to a rep, press 1. When I press 1, the call disconnects. I have gotten a live agent several times but they hung up too.
Call received here in Calif on 14-Sep-2012. Let call go to ans machine as I did not recognize #. Msg about lowering credit card interest rate to 6.9% and that this "will expire soon." Same old robocall scam that has been coming from multiple spoofed numbers over a number of months this year. ID reads "Arlington VA" as that is the area code 360.
Don't answer or give out any information; this is identity theft methodology.
When you dialed their number back, you gave them YOUR caller ID and now they know that your number is a real number. My suggestion to everyone is to get an answering machine with the capability of Caller ID and subscribe to Caller ID if your service provider provides it. Then, if you don't recognize the number, DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE. If the call is someone you know, you can always pick up the phone if you recognize the caller. If the call is important or the caller wants to talk with you, they will leave a message and you can call THEM back. You may not want to spend the money for the Caller ID display or the Caller ID service but it may be worth it to relieve yourself of the aggravation.
