These people have called me several times from several different numbers claiming to be Cardmember Services telling me this is my final chance to get lower rates on my credit card. They have no idea who I am and won't tell me the name of the company they represent - they just hang up when I begin questioning them. It's a scam to
They called me twice on my cell phone this afternoon. Luckily my phone was on silent as I was in a meeting. Good thing I checked here before returning the call. The CID says it's from MN, USA.
I've been getting an awful lot of these spam/phishing telemarketing calls from various phone numbers to both my home phone AND my cell phone. They are people claiming to be from CardMember Services, also saying this is my final opportunity to lower the interest rate on my credit card.
Once I answered the call because it came in while I was on the phone and I got no CID. Thinking it might be my daughter, I answered it.
The man identified himself then said he was from CardMember Services.
I asked, "What card member service?"
He replied, "CardMember Services."
I asked, "For which card?"
He said, "For your credit card."
I asked, "Which credit card are you referring to? Visa, MC, Discover, AmEx, Diners? Which one are you calling about?"
He said, "Any or all of them."
I asked, "How did you get my phone number?"
He said, "From CardMember Services."
I said, "Uh huh. Why are you calling me?"
He said, "I'm calling to find out if you want to lower your interest rate on your credit card."
I said, " And what makes you think I have any credit cards?"
He hung up.
I was about to tell him I'm on the No Call Lists and it's illegal to call anyone on them if you are a telemarketer. Then I was going to tell him to stop calling me, but I never had the chance.
This is such BS. CardMember Services can't lower your credit card rates any lower than you can yourself, just by calling your credit card company and asking them to. CardMember Services just wants to charge you a fee to do the very same thing you can do on your own and they can't even guarantee they can lower your interest rate, although they claim they can lower it to 6%. It's been proven, over and over, that most of the time, they can't do anything for you.
same exact problems as everyone described: they call all the time and leave a msg about lowering my interest rate. If you talk to a real live person and ask what company they represent, they will hang up on you.
Got recorded message about lower CC interest, no option to unsubscribe so I pressed 1 to speak with a live person. Once on I ask to please be removed from the call list and he just hung up. I called back several times but only got busy signals. Went to FTC do not call website and filed a complaint and suggest everyone that is on the list to do the same. We'll never get rid of the scum but at least make it more difficult for them. I think I may play along next time and string them out as long as possible then say nah not interested.
