Card Member Services. THEY WILL NEVER STOP CALLING, SO... “GET EVEN”.
When they call press (1) to be connected to “LIVE OPERATOR” (this will waste their time).
They will try and get as much personal information from you as they can – GIVE THEM FAKE INFORMATION. I usually tell them I have 2 or 3 credit cards with a balance of 7k to 15k and interest rates from 15% to 21%, using this method will keep them on the phone longer and you can waste more of their time. At some point they will ask the name of the credit card, toll free customer service number and credit card number with exp. date (many times they will ask for the last 4-digits of your social security number) REMEMBER, DO NOT GIVE “REAL” PERSONAL INFORMATION OUT TO THEM AS THEY STORE AND SAVE ALL INFO.
Here is a list of numbers Card Member Services has used this week:
Can someone tell me how these people make any money by calling the same numbers over and over? If I didn't want their "service" after 1,000 calls, why would I want it when they make 1,001? This is sheer insanity. Unfortunately, I'm the one who is being made insane because I have blocked nearly 800 numbers on my cell and land line and they are still calling ... and getting through.
Maybe I'll just ask them to call me back and give them the phone number to the FBI instead. Maybe if the feds start getting the number of phone calls we've all been getting they will do something!
Auto call, I pressed "1" to speak to a live representative to lower credit card debt... She answered and said "did you press one to lower your credit card debt?" I immediately said "No, please remove me from this listing."
