The call began with an urgent notice about my credit card interest rate. I knew this was a scam, so I pressed "1" to speak to an "operator".
I immediately asked what company she was calling from. She said "It's about your Visa card".
I said "I don't have a Visa card".
"Oh, then it's about your Mastercard".
"WHAT COMPANY ARE YOU CALLING FROM???"
"It's about your interest rate."
"Excuse me, but this is obviously a scam...."
And then she hung up on me.
I called the number back and was given an option to press "2" to be put on the DNC list.
Still angry that this telemarket broke the law (my daughter was a telemarker for a brief 3 months and is fully aware of the laws they must follow), I called back again and pressed "1" to speak to an operator. I was on hold for about 30 second and the I heard the line get connected ... and then the person hung up on me. I guess they knew my number.
I have no idea how much the 2 long distance calls will cost. I'm only praying that I actually end up on the DNC list.
Its CARD SERVICES - wanting lower your interest rate! I pressed 1 like they asked. (Because I was at work and it was not my home number) and some guy came on the phone asking me if I had 8000 + dollars in Credit Card debit! I said " Heck no" and he hung up on me!
