407-660-9999 / 4076609999

Another scam robo call from "Rachel from card services," although the caller ID says "Kennedy, Robert." The number and the ID are probably both bogus, which is how they get past the Do Not Call list (or ignore it) I received a similar canned call last week from a completely different number.

Report this fraud to the Florida Attorney General or your state Attorney General - action will be taken; a similar fraud was shut down recently. Posting complaints here isn't going to do anything about it - the reports must be made to the relevant authorities.U.S. district court, acting at the request of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has approved a settlement shutting down two groups of Florida-based telemarketers that allegedly flooded consumers with misleading recorded robocalls falsely promising to reduce their credit card interest rates. The settlement permanently bans the two related operations from making robocalls and selling debt relief services. The orders are the latest in a series of enforcement actions the FTC has taken to rein in robocallers -- especially those who try to take advantage of consumers affected by the economic downturn. Scammers at work According to the FTC, JPM Accelerated Services and related defendants made thousands of illegal recorded robocalls to consumers, identifying themselves only as "card services" and offering lower credit card interest rates. Consumers who pressed "1" after hearing the automated pitch were transferred to live telemarketers who falsely told consumers that JPM's services would allow them to lower their credit card interest rates dramatically. The telemarketers charged an up-front fee typically ranging from $495 to $995, according to the complaint, and promised consumers they would save thousands of dollars in a short period of time as a result of the lower interest rates, and that they would be able to pay off their debts faster. The defendants also falsely stated that if consumers did not save thousands of dollars from lowered interest rates, they would receive a full refund of the up-front fee. After collecting the fee from consumers, however, JPM allegedly failed to deliver the promised interest rate reductions and savings, and routinely refused to honor its money-back guarantee. The FTC complaint also charged the defendants with violating the Telemarketing Sales Rule by calling consumers on the Do Not Call Registry, blocking or "spoofing" caller ID and making unlawful robocalls. Restitution ordered The settlement orders also impose judgments of $5.9 million against defendants associated with JPM, and $3.2 million against six individual defendants associated with an affiliated operation called IXE Accelerated Financial Centers, LLC. The judgments, representing the amount of money consumers lost through these robocall schemes, are suspended, based on the defendants' inability to pay< But, they will become due if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. Two of the defendants in the IXE operation, Ivan X. Estrella and Jaime Hawley, also are liable for an unsatisfied $75,000 judgment recently entered against them in a case brought by the Florida Attorney General. The orders were filed in the U.S. District Court for Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division on November 9, 2010, against: 1) Ivan X. Estrella, Jamie M. Hawley, and Kimberly Nelson; and 2) Jeanie B. Robertson, Brooke Robertson, Alexander J. Dent, Micha S. Romano, Paul Pietrzak, and Ashley M. Westbrook. Estrella, Hawley, and Nelson worked with the IXE corporate defendants listed below. The rest of the individual defendants worked with the JPM corporate defendants. At the FTC's request, the court also has dismissed the charges against Paige Dent. Corporate defendants The court is reviewing the FTC's request for a default judgment against the corporate defendants in this case, including the IXE corporate defendants (IXE Accelerated Financial Centers, LLC; and IXE Accelerated Services Inc.), and the JPM corporate defendants (JPM Accelerated Services Inc.; IXE Accelerated Service Centers Inc.; MGA Accelerated Services Inc.; World Class Savings Inc.; Accelerated Savings Inc.; and B&C Financial Group Inc.). The proposed default judgment includes monetary judgments of $3.2 million against the IXE corporations, based in Orlando, Florida, and $5.9 million against the JPM corporations, based in Melbourne, Florida. International Cooperation The FTC brought this action with assistance from other law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Canada, including: the U.S. Postal Inspection Service; the Attorney General of Florida; the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs; the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission; and the Toronto Strategic Partnership, which includes as member agencies the Competition Bureau Canada; the Toronto Police Service Fraud Squad - Mass Marketing Section; the Ontario Provincial Police Anti-Rackets Section; the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; and the United Kingdom's Office of Fair Trading. Assistance also was provided by the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida.

The name that appeared on my caller id was Robert Kennedy. The message was to lower interest rates. I have had calls before. I am on a "do not call" list and have no idea why I am getting these cals.

I got a call from this number today. My Caller ID said:407-660-9999On the second line was this: V090215481401330656Of course I didn't answer it. I have had to tell my kids NOT to answer the phone if they don't recognize the number (friends, family).

received a call from this number 1407-660-9999 when I told him that I wanted to speak to his supervisor he said he had none then demanded my social security number. Definitely a scam. Calling phone company to report scam caller

V0902161656 # instead of a name. WTH. no message. Just let my machine answer they hung up.

I saw Kennedy, Robert on my phone just now and thought I'd Google the name and number and immediately found this site. I'm glad I took a minute to search. Thanks to everyone for posting. Now I'll know what to expect when 'Robert' calls again.

Caller ID said Robert Kennedy. It rang twice and I didn't not answer---too fast for me to even get to the receiver, but from the previous reports, I'm glad I didn't answer. Called at 12:30pm on a Friday afternoon.
