My 91 year old mother is receiving calls from this number. She is on a no call list. They want her to get a credit card. This company needs to be stopped. The location is somewhere in north Florida.
The called ID showed a Jewel Weber. When I answered, I got a recorded message, "Don't be alarmed but you only have a limited time before this offer runs out".
Whoever is doing this is also using my home phone number in this scam. I have to explain to someone every day that I did not place the call on their Caller ID. I have reported it to the phone company as well.
If someone uses your number this way, your number is not charged for the call. The scammer is simply putting your number out as an alias to prevent others from seeing his number.
They called from 386-985-5500. The man was rude when I questioned him about the company he worked for. When I started to tell him that I had asked them not to call me, he hung up on me. About 2 hours later I called that number and got a recording telling me the number had been changed to 386-985-5467. When I called that number I got a recording telling me the number had been changed to an unlisted number.
I'm going to find my instructions on "Call Block" and I'm going to block them next time they call.
Hey R.Van I got the exact same call. But 2 seconds after she hung up on me I called the number back and got the same as you... scam all the way and btw its an inhouse recording NOT a phone company recording regarding the changes they think they are sneaky.. but I for one reported it.
I get calls from this 386-985-5500 number on a regular basis, always when I am not home. Same bu***hit.......press 1 now and lower your interest rates on your account. They can stick their lower interest rates up their a**. My interest rate is 0% - I pay my credit card off in full every month.
I have 2 words for these people....... PHUCKK YOU !!!!!!!
Same here... call from 386-985-5500, press 1 to save on your CC, 2 to be removed. 2 does nothing, 1...might get you a person...might get you dead air. If you get to a person, if you b***h about being removed you're hung up on. I'm going to try and play along next time and see how long I can keep them on the phone.
Decided to ignore call, if it's important they'll leave a message. No message left of course. Glad I googled the phone number to find out about these scam artists.
These bastards call me constantly and leave the same message as everyone else gets and if you do pick up it is the same thing...press 1 for person and 2 to be removed. 2 does not work (obviously) and 1 gets you some jack*** that will hang up when you tell them not to call anymore. I will hunt these b_ll-less bastards down and I will stick their phones up their *ssess!!!!!!!! Reporting them here has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!!! We need the government to do want they are supposed to do and have promised!!!!!!! They are just useless straphangers with cushy jobs. From now on I am going to give these pr*cks my senators phone numbers (yes, their home numbers as well as their office) and see how they like it.
