Same schtick about lowering interest rates, very generic. When I asked to be removed from their list the woman told me to stick my finger up my a** and then said to go f*** myself. How can they get away with this? It is obscene and harassment but since they do not call from a legitimate number is there any way to trace where they are really coming from? A lot of these calls are just annoying but still within the law - this one is not and they need to be shut down.
I received a call from this number and did not answer it. As a rule I do not answer unrecognized numbers. 515 area code residents have been receiving calls saying they are from Wells Fargo and there is an issue with your credit card, and ask for personal information, so issue can be resolved. This also goes out to persons who do not have a Wells Account, some are Credit Unions members. News reports advise people to not answer calls if they do not recognize or hang up when they discover the caller wants information. Numbers called from vary and cannot be traced, and they are apparently calling numbers randomly, so they cannot be traced. More than likely, same group of scam artists.
847-111-0000 caller id reads "Illinois call". This number called me and when I answered, it was an automated call that stated this call is about my credit card. Saying that there are no problems with my credit card but this may be my last chance to lower my credit card rate. The system then encouraged me to press 9 to talk to an operator about lowering my credit rate now. I hung up the phone!
I get calls from this number as well, just received one, pushed 9 to try to tell them to put me on the "do not call" list and the guy proceeded to go on a lewd and x-rated rant. It was horrible and disgusting!!! I wish I could find out who these calls are coming from so they could be stopped.
