I have done exactly this! Given them fake credit number and other info, and kept them online for about 10 minutes. When I finally revealed what I'd done, I suggested they quit calling or I'd keep wasting their time if they did. I did this about 2 months ago. I've only gotten 2 calls since then. Before that I was getting 4-5 a week.
I received a call from this number on 10/27 at 10:30 AM. I didn't answer when I saw the number on the Caller ID display. As others have posted - this is highly likely a scam...
I'm a retired Police Officer, and as such let me advise readers - NEVER give any personal and/or financial information to someone like these people. No matter how hard they press you to do so. They use smoke & mirrors, and whatever they think will get information out of you - don't fall for it!
And to those of you who don't have Caller ID, let me suggest you get it ASAP! It's worth the price...
Received the call, answered this time, dialed 3 to opt out of future calls, nothing happened, dialed 1, got a live agent to reduce my credit card balances, blah blah blah. I asked her to remove my number from their call list, she hung up on me. I turned around and filled out a complaint form on the Do Not Call website with the information they ask for on these computer generated calls, which are not legal regardless whether you are on the DNC list or not. Complaint forms have to be filled out in order to stop these unwanted calls.
This is an automated calling system that keeps calling trying to sell some type of credit card consolidation. If you press the prompt and try and talk to a real person, they hang up on you as soon as they here you do not have over $3000 on credit card debt that you want to consolidate. They call several times a week.
The DNC does not work. It's made to make us feel better, but they do nothing. This "Scam" has been calling for years now and thousands have complained. The DNC is a joke!
