On July 26, 2012, I got a call from this number. It registered on my caller ID as "Financial Ctr." I did not answer the phone. On today's date, August 15, 2012, I received another call from "Financial Ctr." except this time the number was 503-457-1407. I answered this call. The recording said that this is my final courtesy call to lower my credit card rate to 6%; all I need is $3,000 in credit card debt and one card in good standing. It also said they have tried to contact me several times and that this is my final call for my yearly credit card review.
The automated recording did not give a key to press to be removed from their list; It said "Press 1 if you are interested in lowering your credit card debt..." So I pressed 1 and got a woman who said "So i understand you are interested in lowering your credit card payments?" I said, "No, but I understand I want to be removed from your call list." Before I could finish my sentence, she hung up on me!
If you get a call from "Financial Ctr" on your caller ID, DO NOT ANSWER!
I have done this several times already and every time they hang up on me. How am I to get off this list!???
On both the state and Federal NO CALL list, but these bottom-feeders just keep calling. When I answer, they hang up! Sick to death of stinking telemarketers!
I get a call from these morons every so often and today, decided to have some fun with. Using an accent, I claimed to be from India and explained that I just immigrated and have no credit, to please stop calling. Captain Idiot on the other end claimed he was in India as well. I asked how he could be calling, since the majority of India is without power. His claim, and this was priceless, "we get our power from the United States." It was all I could do not to start howling into the phone! Almost came out of character. I then proceeded to ask if he may be tweeking and he had no idea what I meant. I can assure you, he was not calling from India, they'd of stoned him on the simple principle of being a complete and utter moron.
Not sure if this helps anyone else, but it was fun after a rough, rough day at work. Maybe they'll get the hint and remove my number.
