609-318-9785

I missed a call on my cell from this number.  No message and when I called back it didnt even ring.

On my caller ID, it said Card Services.

It's the infamous "Rachael from Card Services"......AGAIN!
They say they can lower your interest rates, but don't give any identification, phone number, address.  They also use a "spoofed" number (meaning they fake the caller ID).  

I've had dozens of calls from "Rachael".  When I am on to the caller ID they're using, they switch to another Caller ID.

The caller ID this time said "CARD SERVICES", but not all the time.

I'm on the Do Not Call List, but they don't give a s**t.

Can someone or some government STOP these cockroaches???

I was already on the phone when Card Services called. I didn't answer it. It only rang twice.

Creditors and banks are exempt from the DO NOT CALL list, but complaints can still be filed against them through the same channels if you do not have a credit card.

People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office and also file with:
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
If enough people keep complaining then maybe something will get done.

The calls are being made from outside the US however most of the call centers (where you actually talk to someone after pressing 1) are in the US and the companies making the money from the scam are owned by people in the US. Asking to be removed from their calling list only verifies that they have a working phone number. They continue to call because it is a criminal operation and these criminals do not care about the law.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC. Keep complaining to the FTC and FCC, and start bugging our politicians to pass laws to make it punishable in criminal court instead of handing out fines that they don't pay. Another course of action is to contact phone companies to find out why they won't block spoofed numbers. With today's technology that should be an easy thing to do, unless they are somehow profiting from the use of their systems.

For anyone thinking of using Special Information Tones (or as they're called in the industry SIT tones) to fake a non working phone number, they won't work. Since around 2001-2002, the costs of "digital" business lines have dropped dramatically, along with Voice over IP (Internet) telephone service. Neither of these use the SIT tones as the call information is carried separate from the audio.
This separate call information tells the calling party digitally if the call was answered, busy, voice mail, forwarded, rejected, etc. This renders SIT tones useless. Also the "TeleZapper" products that used to be on the market used this method as well, and were rendered ineffective for the same reasons.
It is also through this separate call information message that the spoofed caller ID information is transmitted.

Robocalls are illegal unless you have given them prior permission in writing (not worded into some small print contract from a 3rd party) and are absolutely illegal to a cell phone.  The Telephone Consumer Protection Act permits individuals who have received certain unlawful telemarketing, such as junk faxes or telemarketing calls, to sue the violator in state courts where they may be awarded up to $1500 for each violation.

Check here first to see if it is one of their phone numbers:

Pacific Telecom Communications Group
Follow JD's recommendations in the blog and stop them at the source.

Many of the disposable numbers come from Pacific Telecom Communications Group and they are currently under investigation and in the midst of various lawsuits. (The principles involved have been part of actions by the FCC under other business names).These businesses have ripped people off for millions of dollars, yet have paid only a couple of thousand dollars in fines. The only way to stop them is to throw them in prison for a few years to make this criminal activity less attractive.

The Oregon Public Utilities Commission has revoked Pacific Telecom's certificate to provide telecom services in Oregon.

The Indiana Attorney General’s Office filed lawsuits against:
Consumer Credit Group and Proactive Planning Solutions of Arizona for violating Indiana’s Do Not Call Law and Auto-Dialer Act known as the robo-call law. Both companies violated the Credit Service Organization Act and Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining $25,000 surety bonds with the state and collecting money upfront without performing any services.
Debt Zero of California for collecting money up front, failing to provide services or a refund and operating without a $25,000 surety bond.
Clear One Advantage of Maryland and Credit Arbitrators of Texas for violating the Credit Service Organization Act and the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act by not obtaining the required surety bonds.

Proof that current laws mean nothing to these scum suckers, these same people under different companies have been sued in the past and have only paid a minimal fine. Here are just a few:

Write your Congressmen and Senators. We need CRIMINAL penalties against the companies that are profiting from these calls. Follow the money, slap them in prison, no one left to outsource to overseas boiler rooms, problem solved. Since they are operating across borders it should become a federal felony and should be handled by the FBI under the RICO Act.

No message left.

Call from this number, picked up by my answering machine.  No message left.  ID indicated "Card Services"

No message left.  Caller ID read:  UNAVAILABLE

They call me all the time and I never answer. Just called the number back and it said 'You have been called for telemarketing purposes if you wish to be put on our Do Not Call List press 1' Pressed 1 and got 'Enter your 10 digit phone number' I hung up while saying this is a digital world you have my phone number from my calling you, I'm not inputting it on the phone so you can add me to your verified phone number list :)

My wife is a telemarketer and has been one for over a decade so I have nothing against telemarketers just people who call your phone and never leave messages and then try to scam you when you call them back.

I'd like to find this Rachel.  Constant, persistent harassment.

This is a spam, lower interest rate.

How do I stop these calls from 609 318 9785?

Called on 10/2 and again today on 10/2.  Caller ID read Unavailable.  I did not pick up and no message was left.

This is a new number calling with the same old ID---CARD SERVICES".  I didn't answer and no message was left.

Rachel from card services.....

Me too....Rachael again!  I did get talking to a guy and told him this was a scam and them he got mean and used some back language.  How disgusting.

I agree with you 100 % Since the No Call LIst are allowing business to call people  it brings in the scammers pretending to be business. The no call list are not doing anything to screen these calls so they let the calls go through. The No Call List website are deceptive. I believe this site should be taking down. Their rules are letting scammers through. Yes anything these scumbs can do to get around the no call list. I think the gorenment should crack down on the "National NO Call list" for allowing rules to be broken. Like I said they are letting these scumbs call us and annoy us to the point of throwing the phone out the windows. The telephone companys are not helping any of not screening these calls. The ID cid works to avoid thses phone calls.  I will tell you what works for me. On my greeting I say " The national no call list does not work. I do not responds to telemarketer calls " Then I continual with my normal greetings. The telemarket hang up durung my first part of my greetings. It works. Silent your ringer on your answering machine and let the answering machine anxwer. That one way of doing it. Or unplug the telephone line at a certain time. Let people know when your phone is working during certain time.  Of corce I have not done that yet. Yes is harassment, and annoying in receiving these calles. It is every day now my phone rings.

Got the Rachel call.  I pressed the number given to talk to someone.  I told him I want these effing calls stopped.  But, when I finished, the line was dead.  They just hang up.  It really sucks.

I would like yo stop calling nh number
