File a fraud alert with the credit reporting agencies and also get your credit card number changed. I think these people are credit card thieves. Since they can spoof your phone number, they can call your credit card provider and make it look like the call is coming from your phone. I think all they need is the last four digits of your credit card to access your account. That is one racket, asking for your card number is another. If you reported your card stolen, they should not be able to do anything with it and hopefully they will get caught when they try to buy something with it.
My new approach is to pretend interest and, when they ask for my credit card information, tell them I have to go find the credit card. Then I let them sit and wait while I work on the computer or do something else. In a couple of cases (after they've waited several minutes) I tell them I am on the Do Not Call list and never had any interest in their so-called service.
Received a call from this number on August 22. My phone has a program that blocks calls from people not in my contact list, so I never spoke to anyone, and they did not leave a message.

They violate Do Not Call all the time, and they also place calls from spoofed or fake phone numbers. They asked me for the 800 number on the back of my credit card which makes me suspect they are credit card thieves. Since they can fake the origin of their call, they can call your bank and make the bank's computer think the call is from YOU. Then (they may need the last 4 digits of the credit card) they can access the account. In another case, though, they asked for my credit card outright which suggests to me that they are phishing for credit card numbers to steal.
