A Robocall from a company claiming they will negotiate with my banks and creditors to lower the interest charged on my credit cards and loans.  I was instructed to push 1 to talk to a person.  The person answered and I asked to be removed from their call list and told them I was on the Do Not Call list.  He was very snotty and told me that I called him by pushing 1 and it did not matter if I was on the Do Not Call list and they did not have to remove my number from their call list.  These asshats have come up with a work around to the FTC rules.  The Panasonic phone I use (KX-TGA750) with caller ID allows me to block calls.  I will report them to the FTC and block them!  They did not identify themselves, crooks!

Got a call from this #, but they left no msg.

Some services, such as Verizon, allow you to block up to 5 numbers or so at a time.

This one will be added to my list.

If you are curious how to do this, call verizon, or log into MyVerizon and choose your particular device. There should be a section called something like "Do not accept calls from these numbers:"

Again, you only have 5 or so to work with, so won't stop all calls or calls that are cycling through multiple numbers, but i helps.

For those of you getting these types of calls from either "Rachel" or "Tiffany" at "Cardholder Services," please know that these scam artists and spammers who use robocall methods to annoy the living crap out of people are on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Public Enemy Number One list. The link below, which leads to a FTC website, explains how these monsters are being legally pursued. Sooner or later they will all end up in prison, where they rightfully belong!

Automated messag to begin with stating that they're a credit card service and currently there is no problems with my credit but to press the number 1 to speak to an agent.  When I got a human on the line I asked to be removed from their list and they hung up on me.

Scum bags claiming to be able to lower the interest rate on my credit cards. People really fall for this?

Just called my cell phone.  I didn't recognize the number so didn't answer.  Scammers, as usual.

The worst part is that the number on your screen is probably not the number these criminals are actually calling from.  If you go to the FTC web site (FTC maintains the Do Not Call Registry) and search on Robocalling, you will find out more about how these companies get around the Do Not Call list and are calling you illegally.  Because they spoof the number they are calling from, it makes it harder for law enforcement to find them and put them out of business.

The number spoofing is also why you get the same call from different numbers.  After a while I started adding the scammers' numbers to a contact called SPAM on my phone.  I have 12 numbers in there now and I have only gotten a repeat call once!

they call all the time, it's really annoying when they call morning noon and night
