Recieved a call from this number this morning. It was a tellamarketer for credit card offer. Clicked "1" to talk to real person. They hung up when I requested my number be taken off their calling list. Have received calls before about the same thing. How do you get them to stop?
First time I've gotten a call from this number. What I do if I get multiple calls from telemarketers is I answer the call and then press the 9 key continually for about a minute, then hang up unless they hang up first. It confuses their computer and will delete your number from their database. It has worked every time for me.
That number called me many times while I was not home, but this time I picked up. My caller ID said "Bartlett". There is a message saying that they have important info on my credit card account, and to push 1. I did and someone picked up. He told me that I could lower my credit card rate to 6%. I asked which credit card he was calling about and he could not say LOL! but what scared me was that he knew the BALANCE on my card! I told him that I was going to call my credit card company to verify what he was telling me, and he tried to argue, asking for my social, yes, like it was going to happen.
I called my credit card company (32 minutes waiting on the phone, thank you!), and of course it was not from them. She could not tell me how they got my balance though. I gave her the number and she said she was going do report it.
I forgot to mention that of course I am on the "no call list" whatever it means!
