Left message about last chance to lower credit card rates. "We have made several attempts to reach you. Press 1 to
speak to a representative or 2 to lose your chance to lower your rates". Same repeated scam from a new number.
Why isn't Scam Call given as a call type option here? It would be highly accurate.
No, the "telemarketer" tag is "highly accurate" here. The credit reprice calls aim to sell you a service. The fact that the service is worthless, dangerous, and/or nonexistent does not matter for the purpose of enforcing the TCPA, TSR, and DNCR.
Admin's drop menu policy has long been established, and we have turned and burned the arguments innumerable times. To summarize, the phrase "Scam Call" is an overly broad opinion, not a description and not a category. Such labeling would soon be widely misused once made available. 800Notes has many enemies who would jump at the chance to whine to a judge that its Admin practices an editorial slant or in any way influences or directs user content. You and I can bring the fire within the rules; the website cannot be seen supplying gasoline.
