This number called my phone. I read the above and now i am worried. Got scamned last year by lower interest rate jerks. And i got nowhere with stopping the charges from credit card and now these calls again. I am concerned. I am on do not call list and they keep calling.
Robocall "You are eligible for a lower rate than you current card offers", when I press 1 it says that no operators are available. Probably just checking if this is a live number.
Drug-addicted criminals, such as the "card services" scammers, who try to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers, do not obey the do not call list.
George, read your post back to yourself...you state these are "drug addicted criminals" and "scammers". You say these things and then go on to say that they don't obey the do not call list. Come on...criminals and scammer could care less about the do not call list or if they are breaking the law. If a business is legitmate and an honest business they will respect the do not call list.
Organized Crime Much?
Robo-dialers and Cardholder Services just continue to violate TCPA, TSR and the RICO Act-
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act U.S.C. Title 18, Chapter 96 § 1962:
There are many repeat offender “cardholder service” operations recycled from previously sued swindlers. The card service “companies” often change names, call centers, and drop box locations to stay one step ahead of the Law.
Virtually EVERY FTC, FCC and individual State Court Case filed clearly shows how NO SERVICE is ever provided. The ill gotten money is quickly transferred to a foreign entity outside of U.S. jurisdiction. They are usually not registered with the Sec of State in which they operate, and are never registered, or Surety Bonded with the States they robo-threaten, abuse, and harass.
There has to be Felony charges and Prison time implemented against the criminals.
Illegal revenue sharing through foreign “subsidiaries” generates an illicit profit for the criminals of $.00075 per outbound call where the Caller ID data is successfully transmitted. In telecom jargon, these are called “dips” into a caller ID database. 5 million dips would generate $3750.00. The telephone company for the consumer who receives the unsolicited telemarketing call must pay for the right to “dip” into the caller ID database in order to retrieve the “calling name” information that’s displayed on the phone. Incidentally, the rate of $.00075 per outbound call appears to be a small fraction of the “dip” fee, suggesting that Pacific Telecom actually reaps most of the profits when an unsolicited call is made.
it seems to me that you and george are trying to say the exact same things about the card service scammers but coming at it from different angles.not all criminals are scammers,but all scammers are criminals.there also could be some criminals, scammers and drug addicts that DO obey the do not call list.whether or not they fit into all categories or not, we Do know the card service scammers don't obey the do not call list and are hard to locate and identify because they use spoofed numbers in their efforts to cheat folks.
