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.
(570) 983-3206 Robo call recorded 29 August 2014 ("Carmen from Cardholder Services, lower your rate..." SCAM)
Caller ID: "Consumer Svcs"
also calls from: (570) 983-3796
"Carmen" calling (I was so used to past calls from "Rachel" and "Bridget" but I'm always glad to hear from "Carmen"... N O T) after recently assuring me, "...consider this your final notice..." and even after telling me I didn't qualify for their "lower your rate" offer because I pay my credit cards off in full each month.
Of course they ignore the Federal Do Not Call list, which certainly tells us something about their business ethics, doesn't it?
Here is a transcript of this "lower your rate" offer:
[me:] Hello?
[they:] Hello, this is Carmen at Cardholder Services calling in reference to your current credit card account. It is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate. Please consider this your final notice. Press the number 1 now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate. Or press the number 3 to discontinue further notices. Thank you. Have a great day." [7 second pause] "Goodbye.
Thanks to Google Voice ( www.google.com/voice ) you can hear the recording on my Spam Calls web page:
Card services scammer listened to my fake information for 12 minutes before he hung up on me. I view it as a public service to tie up the scammers time.
This scam call from SURVEY at 5709833206 is calling for our personal data to steal from us. The way to fix this annoying problem of scam-callers and telemarketers is to vote AGAINST every politician who is currently in office. Why? Because we already have laws to protect us from these scammers, and the incompetent career politicians who are currently in office have done nothing to enforce the laws we sent them to enforce. You can make a difference on Primary and General Election Days by voting against EVERY politician in office, by firing them all, and by replacing them with new blood. If you do not fire these political morons, we will continue to receive these abusive and annoying illegal scam calls from the maggots known as telemarketers, a product of the career politicians who aren't doing the jobs we hired them to do. Please be a true American and vote against ALL incumbents!
If you are a religious person, please join me in this prayer for these tele-scammers and the politicians who've done nothing to stop these criminals from harassing us:
Heavenly Almighty, we call on You to strike down these phone scammers with plagues of disease and buckets of pig vomit that smother them in their own excrement. Deliver them and their loved ones to the fires of hell for all of eternity, for they are the scum of the earth who bring filth and crime to our homeland under the guise of their evil greed. Cast them into nothingness for all time and please their victims so we know their bones will rot in darkness and their flesh will crawl in the slime of gagging maggots. We ask that You condemn all telephone and credit card scammers today and everyday, and that they cohabitate in cursed perpetuity with career politicians like Pelosi and Reid and McConnell and Landrieu in the dung of all honest society, we pray, Amen.
Please join me in this prayer everyday to rid our world of telephone scammers and the career politicians who protect them.
