Multiple calls from this number--one of many numbers used from scammers offering to lower credit card interest rates. It appears to do no good reporting them as they change numbers frequently and the calls continue.
The National Do Not Call Registry; tells to NOT talk to, not push the buttons etc, just pick up and hang up.
I have been doing this thinking that I was "thwarting" the calls; but like Annoyed above me, the caller ID is FULL of these unwanted calls. I have notified both my state and the national do not call; about these multiples(sometimes same # 5-6x then another an additional 3-4 plus a few more thrown in (usually 15-20 a day))....I do this all day.... :-() I am on SSDI w/ Multiple Sclerosis; and this does nothing to help with staying "low" stress. If there is a machine like Annoyed mentioned above; I AM purchasing, thanks Annoyed!
You are in luck Stressed! Google "call blocking equipment" and you will find some very good choices. Read all about each one since they have various capabilities and prices. Choose the one that fits in with your greatest needs and go for it! I have had one for a couple of years now and it works very well.
WARNING--BEWARE!! These callers are B I G credit card criminals, known as the card service scammers. Under NO circumstances give your credit card number to these lowlifes, or it will be regretted forever!
The Panasonic DECT 6 phones block about 285 numbers and also have a feature to prevent the phone from ringing during specified hours. Also, check out Phone Tray, a very effective call management program. It blocks unlimited calls and plays a "phone has been disconnected" message before disconnecting the thieves. I began using both of these tools within the last couple of weeks, and it's been so quiet and peaceful for the first time in more than a year. Good luck.
This scammer calls numbers on the national do not call registry in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. They inform the caller that they have been selected to participate in a survey, and in exchange for the survey, if they qualify, they will be given 0% interest on their credit card debt. However, the caller refuses to provide a non-toll-free phone number when asked, and refuses to provide a physical address when asked, both required by the TCPA. They do provide a web address, but the address provided is for a domain that is not registered. This is clearly a phishing scam trying to get people's credit card information or personally identifiable information. Do not provide this scammer any information.
