Card services telemarketing! 808-250-7460
Complaint
draya
Country: United States
They keep calling my phone to tell me that I need to act now on my credit card. They gave me the option to "press 1 to speak to an operator" and when I did, I asked her why they are calling my phone. (Prepaid, btw, so it is costing me $$$$$$$). Yikes! She just hung up on me. Now I'm upset.
I dialed the number back and it cannot be reached.
So.... I looked up the number in 411.com, found out they are going through Hawaiin Telecom. (Those are the next people I am calling, along with the BBB.)

Let us know what you find out from Hawaian Telecom.
As you no doubt already concluded, they are running a scam, hiding their identities while using deception to get account numbers steal their money. Fraud.

"Today, April 28th, I was home when they called and said that they could reduce the rate on my Visa and Mastercard.
The woman said that she was from Card Services and worked for Visa and Mastercard [FALSE, it is common for con men to steal the legitimacy of other companies] and that they would contact the banks my cards were issued from to get lower rates for me.
She said that this was a promotion of Visa to get rates lowered for qualified cardholders [FALSE].
She then asked for information on my cards and transfered me to a man, who the woman said was a financial advisor [yeh, right].
She said that they had my information [FALSE, if they already had it they would probably be fishing for "yes" responses to claim you signed up, not still asking for it.] because their company processed all [So THEY are the ones who process all those payments!] credit card payments [FALSE] and knew that I paid on time [FALSE, they have no such information].
The man was argumentative when I asked him for information [Great "sales" tactic, but common with scams. They are aiming at the least sophisticated consumers].
He gave me the website: creditcardservices.org [pretending to be a "non-profit"] to checkout. [Sounds like they are trying to appear to be like a "CCCS"]
It came up and then immediately went to another site [more deception]. The man became annoyed when I said this and asked for more information.
He wanted $29.95 as an ACH debit from my account {that would be a checking account, and harder to dispute for fraud if you give your account number than if it were a credit card number] to send me a form to complete [$29.95 just to send a form? They want your money first, all based on verbal statements with nothing in print.] and return to them to send to my credit card companies to get my rate lowered. [Yeah, the credit card companies are going to loweer your rates because they send a form. Sure.]
When I kept asking questions, he hung up after saying I obviously was declining their services. Note: When she called back the name and number showing were mine. [Oops! spoofing caller id, but they can't even get that right.]"
I cannot imagine how a company/criminal syndicate/whatever they are can stay open by doing this. They are wasting their time calling me but they just keep right on doing it.
Press one to speak to a representative, press 2 to be removed. Well when pressing 2, you hear nothing but a hang up. Then they call you again in a few days. So annoying. It didn't work.
So I get the call again, and I said I'll press 1, this time for a live person and to remove myself with a live person. Well, as soon as I've asked the guy can you remove me kindly. He just hangs up rudely, this always happens.
I know you can sue telemarketers here is the link on how to sue telemarketers like them: http://www.whycall.me/info/telemarketerssued.php
But I can't seem to get the number there calling from to make the steps (I don't have caller ID.) However, I hope they get caught and be punished, they deserve it. They are rude, mean and they bother me with unwanted calls while I am busy, in the morning etc...
The number was 616-613-2100.
Today the girl called me the "B" word, and said "you sound like you have a "D" in your mouth. I asked to speak to her supervisor, and she told me "he doesn't want to talk to you", and continued to call me names, make obscene remarks to me, and would not hang the phone up. She said she will call back any time she wants to. I told her that it is against the law for them to call our number, and I am reporting them. She called me "stupid", and "trash", and asked me if my husband forgot to "F" me this morning and beat the "sh*t" out of me before I answered the phone. I kept asking her for her supervisor, and she continued with her offensive remarks and name calling.
I have reported this company to the FCC, the Better Business Bureau, and the State Attorney Generals Office.
When you ask what the name of their company is, they always say "Client Services". The phone number changes all the time.
If nothing is done to stop these harassing and offensive phone calls, I am going to contact the investigative teams at TV network news and suggest that they need to find out who these offensive telemarketers are.
HOW DO WE STOP THIS CRAP?
