phone scam
Complaint
Judy
Country: United States
I found this complaint on-line and my scenario was exactly the same.
I received a call with a recorded voice saying the call was from "Card Services" telling me that I needed to "act now to save money on my credit cards or the offer would expire." Then I was given an option to press a number to be connected with a live operator and the option to press another number to stop receiving any more "notifications". I pressed to speak to the "operator" to ask why they're calling me since I am on the Do Not Call list. She hung up on me immediately. I tried to call the number back, but the number I tried was disconnected.

It is illegal to use robocallers for commericial purposes.
It is illegal not to maintain a do not call list
It is illegal to not give people a legitimate way to be put on the do not call list.
You company will be found and prosecuted - and you will be out of a job.
Why don't you go start selling drugs on a street corner - you can justify that saying you are providing a medical service to people.
Get a life.

Thanks for coming to your senses - I do hope you will follow up on this.
Try to get as much information as possible - and ALWAYS report it to the FTC. (www.donotcall.gov).
NEVER give real information, but give them some fake information.
Be careful about being really mean (horn blasting or whistle blowing or obvious attempts to waste their time), because they will put you on a robocall harassment list. Best to always be nice- but waste as much of their time as possible.
IF YOU HAVE WORKED FOR THEM - Please! report it. Only people who ahve worked for them can really help to take them down.
Then kept them on hold a long time while I filled yet another FCC complaint on them
Then I came back to them told them I had filed a do not call complaint again and they came back with the story that it does not apply to them because when I sign up for a credit card I am allowing such calls. She hu
We discussed a few things and she then wanted the 1-800 number from the back of the card which kind of threw me off, I had not heard that before and I since was expecting a guest at anytime I gave up the charade and said “Lisa, you should know that I lie a lot”. After a pause she said so you mean you don’t have that debt. And I said yes. She said I wish you had told me sooner. You wasted my time.” I said “what about all the peoples time you waste and annoyed by working for a company that calls thousands of people?” She became agitated and said did you enjoy wasting my time? And I said no I did not but that is the only way I can get any information from you people since you hang up on me as soon as I ask questions like you are about to do right now. She said that she hoped the new year would bring me lots of bulls__t because that is what you are is bulls__t. I said as gently as I could “No Lisa, your job is the bulls__t.” But I’m not sure she heard that since she had hung up on me.
I was able to keep her tied up for a little over 5 minutes but I was not too successful at getting any information other than she said she was in a call center in Texas. I think it is possible that she actually believes she is helping people with credit problems. She is just a cog in a bigger machine.
Note that she said she was in Texas but the caller ID showed and area code in Kansas Caller ID said CALLNOTES 785-270-1653. And I received a similar call on Friday Dec. 31 with call ID of TOLL FREE CALL 800-847-2900
I have been getting calls for months now and I am just fed up with it. Finally today I called Verizon and received the information above. If we all do this we can stop them. Just be aware that they change their telephone numbers often so just because you report one number doesn't mean you won't get more calls from them. Be diligent and we will win.
