Got a call from 620-000-1235 before 9 AM. Recorded female voice first said that she was calling from the "Rape Crisis Center." I guess that was to keep me from hanging up. Then she said my credit card rates had gone up and I was eligible to lower them. That was when I hung up and reported the call to the do-not-call hotline at 1-800-382-1222. 620-000-1235 is a fake number so i guess the best way to handle these calls is to not answer any call from the 620 area code.
This number calls about lower interest rates on credit cards. If you speak to the representative to ask them not to call - they immediately hang up. You are unable to call back.
Inbound from "Samantha", press 9 to talk to "Robert Sanders" who is control number TC6767 then Mrs. Jackson and finally Denise Reynolds. Got all the way through to them asking for the card number on the fake Orchard Bank, Visa, Exp 2/14 I made up. Denise gave me 888-873-1646 as a call back number.
One of a hundred different numbers these scammers use to hide behind. I have tried ignoring them, no effect. I have tried telling them I'm on the Do No Call List, no effect. I have blocked their numbers, they just rotate to a different set of numbers. I've been polite with them, I've been rude with them. I've called Verizon and ATT, they have no way to trace back to the original caller.
I have taken to messing them. Every time they call I press 1 to talk to them. I feed them a line of bull. When they ask for my SSID, I say I can't do that until I get a physical office address from them. CLICK!!!
Some of those people recognize my voice as soon as I come on. CLICK!!!
My hope is that they will get fed up with me enough that they will stop calling. Hasn't worked yet, but I'll keep trying until I can get enough information to report them to the attorney general of the state(s) they are operating from.
