I received a call on my cell phone from number: 214-496-2580. They asked if I was "responding to the lower your credit card interest call" -- I instead asked how they got my number. They hung up immediately.
If the person who is calling me from this number is reading this. Stop being annoying. You are the reason that telemarketers are given a bad name. Technology is working to your advantage because you have a machine doing all your work so that you do not have the courage to get on the phone yourself and actually speak with someone personnally. Get a life. Get another Job!
I just received a call from this number, and it comes up Cell Phone TX on the caller ID. I tried to press 8 (the choice for you not being interested in receiving anymore calls) to see what would happen, and it said that it wasn't a valid entry...of course! So, I pressed 9 and immediately was transferred to someone. She answered "Card Member Services." So I asked her what card this was for, and she hung up on me. I knew it was a scam, but I was kind of hoping I could have a little fun with them first. If you work for a scam like this, GET A REAL JOB and stop sucking the life and money from the rest of us you loser!
I got a call today from "Card Services" matching what has been described here, except that the caller ID said "Unknown name" and "Unknown number". I pressed 9 and the lady I got asked if I had pressed 9 to lower the rate on my Visa or Mastercard. Unfortunately, that threw me off guard since I wasn't expecting somebody to ask me whether I wanted to do what I just did (what is this, Windows Vista?) and so I fumbled around for a little trying to figure out whether to say "yes" or "no" - I think I got out something like "I... well, I pressed 9 because I wanted to, umm...", at which point she hung up on me! I hadn't even gotten far enough to tell her that I didn't actually want whatever scam it is they're pushing.
Recorded message claiming 6% on credit card. I started to ask to be removed from the call list and "Sherri" hung up on me. I tried to call back and got a recording that my call could not go through as dialed. The caller ID showed "Cell Phone" as the caller.
