keep getting calls from credit card svs with dif tel numbers, most recent 253-236-2179. Initially its a recording, pushed 1 to talk to rep. He claims works for chase and cap 1  to reduce interest rate on existing accounts if pd on time for 6mos and over 5000 total debt. DONT believe these people, they are scammers, they dont know your balance therefore dont work FOR chase or cap 1. 3x i asked what the name of their company was and if they were a 3rd party that would negotiate rate down. still claimed no, that they actually work for cap 1 and chase. BULL!!!!
also on the do not call, filed yet another complaint.

    Thanks!  Just got a call from 253-236-2179 but did not answer.  Wished I had known so I could have talked to them to call their bluff.

    Read Carefully:  If our gov't really wanted, they could trace the source of the money via the CC.

    The fact is that the CC companies are in bed with the scammers, as they will gleefully debit your account, collect a commission, and move on to the next victim.  Part of the commission go to the PAC.

    Sure they will reimburse the few that complain, the the portion that just give up, gives free money to the banks.  THINK ABOUT IT.  It's really the credit card companies fault.  THEY are the one that take the money, commission, and turn it over to THEIR contractual client.  THEY the CC and bank do need financial information (Know you client).

    If there was indeed willingness, the scammers could be traced in one day.

    I keep getting calls from these jerks.  When I finally got a rep, I asked how to get my name removed from their call list, and he hung up on me.  The FTC has laws on the books to stop this sort of stuff, but because there's no revenue in it, they could care less. The IRS has proven that the government can levy fines effectively, and shut people down.  Yet the politicians, who are promising the world with the upcoming November elections, aren't able to even do simple things like stop illegal spam calls. A pretty disgusting situation in my opinion.
