Lone stranger,
The problem is they keep changing the number they are using. I've blocked about 15 of them now - every time I do, they just switch to a different number.
I have been getting these calls repeatedly for years now. Tried to call number to get it to stop but there's no one there. What a waste of energy this type of garbage is.
Got a call and had the same problem calling them back, my message machine has a lag in it from the end of my outgoing message to when it picks up call so I just googled the number and this link looked helpful and it was.
I thought it might be a home mortgage group but 6%+ is a little high these days for that so I'm sure it's the credit card scam.
I'll report it to the links in Florida I saw in another post just to help build a case.
CALL THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ! 1-877-382-4357. Forget the do not call list...this company is FRAUD. The Florida Attorney Generals Office is not doing anything with this as they have said its up to the FTC. I called the FTC and spoke with one person and their manager. They need you to call them and let them know of the issue. I told them just to google the number and they said they are not allowed to do that (per congress) and that they can ONLY respond to complaints. I was disappointed they are not allowed to simply open their window and look around on a simple internet search.
Bottom Line CALL the FTC at 1-877-382-4357
complaining about fraud is fine, complaining to the right people is doing something about it. This website was helpful, but CALL THE FTC ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE.

Just got a call from these guys, with the same ones calling from a different spoofed number (also ending in 9999) a little while ago. I add them to the ILLEGAL CALLS contact on my iPhone, which has a silent ring tone. It still annoys the hell out of me, though.
To those people who suggest reporting them: they use spoofed numbers. The do-not-call list (which I have been on for years) is UTTERLY USELESS to protect us from these scammers. I wish that were not the reality, but it is. I have been reporting such calls for years, and absolutely nothing has been done. It's very frustrating.
