On May 5 at 12:06pm this # showed up on our caller id as "Customer Service" we had no idea who this was, so didn't answer and they left no message. Now that we know its a scam this # will be blocked!
These people have no concept of what they're doing. They say they can lower my rate on all of my cards. I asked which company was doing this huge favor and what they were getting out of it. They of course hung up. I tried going along with them on another call just to see how far they'd go. They can't handle any questions, at all! Now they are leaving messages on my machine telling me this is my last chance to take advantage of this wonderful deal. LOLDream on scammers!
Keep getting calls (I don't answer a number I don't know) saying "Are you avoiding me, call me?". Saw on the website this is a scam phone number. I am going to call an old FBI friend and locate these jerks!
I get the same message about lowering credit card rates. I'm making a list of all the numbers of these annoyance-callers. I've already been nice to them, asked them to not call, I don't have a credit card, don't want one, they say ok & then call back within a few days. So I'm going to answer the phone, get to the human & play my iPhone's "screaming woman" ringtone. Very loud.
HOW TO THROTTLE BOGUS CALLS (updated 03/21/2012)Ok, here's a solution if your phone has a contacts list--it works quite well on my iPhone, which allows unlimited phone numbers for any contact.Step 1, create a contact named something like these names IGNORE JUNK CALL SCAMMING SCUMBAGS FRAUDSTERS LIST ..... Step 2, select a SILENT ring type for this contact. Or, select a distinctly unusual ring tone like CRICKETS or MOTORCYCLE or RIFLE...This lets you know if a repeat caller is on the line, but I prefer the silence myself. My iPhone lights up showing the caller ID, even though I have a silent ring.Step 3. Enable CALLER ID to be displayed for incoming calls that are made to your phone. It's a pity these stealth calls UNKNOWN, or OUT OF AREA, or their ilk, can't be blocked by any phone I know about. My iPhone won't let me put these names where the phone number field is entered.So, what you do is to put the phone numbers of all bogus and scam callers that contact you, or try to call you, in this special contact. Also, unless you recognize a toll free number owner, let all calls of this type go unanswered, and if no voicemail is left, add the Caller ID (their phone number) into the IGNORE JUNK CALL contact.Also add any other bogus callsyou get or know about, well they go in this contact too.This may mean also all callers that don't leave a voice mail, or are soliciting you for services or products who you don't have a business relation with. And slime bags you don't want to talk to, like that jerk at the bar, or your ex.For new toll free and also out of area calls: run these numbersthrough Google search to see if they have been reported as junk or have been identified by others as scams.Don't call an unsolicited toll-free number back, it captures your own phone number, and you will get on other scam lists to call you.Toll free numbers all have area codes from this list: codes 800, 888, 877, 866, and codes reserved for future expansion include 844, 833, 822, 880 through 887, and 889. FURTHER: Don't take the default voice mail prompt that came with your phone, because it usuallyspeaks your phone number and indicates you aren't around to pick up the call and maybe even speaks your name as well.Record a new onelike "Sorry I missed you, your message will be appreciated".Friends will know your voice. Scammers, not so often.My list is long now, my silent ring saves me from tons of spam and scam, and yes, the do not call list is worthless, and toothless as well.Please feel free to copy this post anywhere, and to any forum. Consider writing a letter or email to your phone supplier, or your congressman to fix this awful state of affairs, and to put some teeth into the DO NOT CALL law. Ask them to shut down the services that allow fake telephone numbers to be used as well.Crafted by xyzzy
