ahhhhhhhh!
This is so annoying. I come home from being gone for 2 months and I have 15 messages from a pre recorded message left by these bozos.
There are two messages:
1.) "This is our third attempt at contacting you. Our records indicate you could be eligible for lowering your credit card interest rates" etc.. etc..
2.) Something similar but doesn't say the company name.
So I've never actually been home to tell these jerk offs to stop calling me.
And most of the time the call comes from this number:
123-456-7891
Today it came from a 517 number, but when I looked at my call display after the call it shows "Unavailable" and "anonymous"
So today they called 2 times. The first time I pressed 1 to talk to someone. I was immediately transfered to some guy, I asked him "who am I speaking to?" and he immediately hung up the phone.
Later on I got another call from the same guys so I pressed 1, immediately i was transfered to some lady. This time I played along.
"hi sir, our recirds indicate you may be able to reduce your credit card interest rate"
"OK sounds great"
"We need to first ask you some questions"
"Ok shoot"
"How much credit card debt do you currently carry?"
"Zero"
"We can only offer this to you if you have more than 5000 dollars of debt <click>"
"hello?...."
I looked online and could only find this other thread:

Has anyone else been harassed by these people? is this a scam? How do I get off their phone list?
