Telemarketing to those on the Do Not Call Registry.

Call abut lowering credit card interest rate:  After a break in, I was asking about the card address.  I was told a fony address.

Caller ID showed "Consumer Services." I figured it was probably "Rachel from Card Services," so didn't answer. No message left. These bozos just don't give up...........

(757) 216-1981 Robo call recorded 27 March 2015 (Bridget, Cardholder Services, lower your rate, final notice...HA!)
Caller ID: "Consumer SVCS"

Also called recently from: (716) 258-3152 <> (682) 703-8279 <> (205) 632-0015 <> (361) 632-0015 <> (804) 642‑8078 <> (520) 222-8448 <> (515) 207-3384 <> (717) 322-4291 <> (321) 209-6393 <> (305) 368-8492 <> (570) 983-3206 <> (570) 983-3796 <> (406) 477-3151 <> (518) 278-0335 <> (518) 278-0333

"Bridget" calling with a new "secondary" number after I blocked their "primary" number that called yesterday. What's worse, they've selected a legitimate business phone number to "spoof" for their outgoing calls! (the actual phone number belongs to a Dentist in Virginia)

The recording of this "lower your rate" call is exactly the same past calls but from a new number to avoid call blocking. The recorded message is their usual patter (see below) and I love "Brigit's" accent when she says "thank you" (it comes out closer to 'think you').

Their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethics, doesn't it?

Here is a transcript of their latest offering:

[female voice] "Hello, this is Bridget with Cardholder Services calling in reference to your current credit card account. There are no problems currently with your account, it is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate to as little as 1%. Your eligibility expires shortly so please consider this your final notice. Please press the number 1 on your phone now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate. Or press the number 3 to discontinue further notices. Thank you. Have a great day."

[pause then disconnect when I didn't make any key selections]

Another call from "Consumer Services." Yeah, right. I wasn't home, and this time they left a message: This is my "last chance" to lower credit card rates. Geez, wouldn't it be great if they're really serious about the last chance thing and will never call again?? Naaahhh......they'll probably call again tomorrow. Jerks..........
