Just called on my cell I didn't answer. I am so sick of getting all these scam calls on both my cell and landline phone. Most are that damn credit card scam. Why can't someone do something to stop this? I keep blocking them and they just use a different number and call again. Now they are even using numbers in my local area code.
Got a call just now for a 0% interest rate on credit cards. This is the second one today-the first one was from Discover Card's legitimate number. That was for my "final" call to lower the interest rate. The representative was Indian, I called Discover and reported the incident, they said they are getting a lot of complaints about this.
Got a call and a recording from "Heather", probably "Rachel"'s sister, saying that I qualify for a 0% rate on ALL my credit cards...ha ha! they'll take any card! I have hit "3" several times to be put on their "do not call" list, but they keep calling. This time I hit 1 and talked to a heavily accented fellow (surprise!), so told him I had hit 3 several times but keep getting calls and put me on his do not call list. He said he would...we'll see
First, I call it a 'prank' call because it certainly wasn't anything legit and 'scammer/fraudster' wasn't on the list.
Pre-recorded message claims it's not a solicitation call (they're right, it's a scam). Message goes on to say I qualify for zero interest on my accounts. They try to divert some by saying 'if you've already completed the process or not interested hit '3', otherwise hit '1'. I hit '1' to get a live body and share the 'joy'. By the time someone comes on-line, I've walked to the restroom. I hold the phone down to the toilet bowl and flush (giving them a swirlie). They hung up before the swirlie was finished.
