I always check numbers on whocallsme or other sites while the phone is ringing. Thanks to previous posters who have explained that caller/scammer is calling about credit card interest rate reduction. PS, there's no need to WRITE IN CAPS TO SAY "PLEASE MAKE THEM STOP CALLING ME!!!" We fellow readers cannot do anything for you. Go to https://www.donotcall.gov/ and click on File a Complaint and take it from there.

these calls originate from outside the US...so, no...the evil democrats
are NOT getting a piece of this.  the numbers are spoofed...i.e....manipulated to
show up on your caller ID as a legitimate call from inside the US.
best plan...do not answer.  if you do...try to talk to a live body at least for a few
seconds (before the cowards hang up)...and at least tell them that since thay have wasted
your time...you're wasting theirs before they can try to rob someone else.
colorful language usually follows before they hang up.

The FCC has temporarily halted 7 minor unprofitable boiler rooms who will receive a slap on the wrist and be back at it within a few days. In the meantime the calls will continue since they are making money with what is called a CNAM revenue-sharing program through companies like http://www.telephonemanagement.net and http://www.CallerID4U.com

In their own words:  'Every day your company makes thousands of outbound phone calls. Every one of those calls generates revenue for many companies, why not yours? Our CNAM revenue-sharing program helps you make money every time a Caller ID request is made by a phone carrier. A high-traffic call center can lose hundreds to thousands of dollars a day to phone carriers by allowing them to charge for access to your own data.'

You can now see why the criminals keep calling even though they know you won't fall for their scam. They are making money even if you don't answer the phone. If someone does make the mistake of answering the phone and falling for their scam then it is just icing on the cake for them. These people are the lowest form of filth on this planet.

What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1.    Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list and NEVER call them back
2.    Consider blocking the number or on a cell phone add it to a contact list and assign NO ring tone
3.    Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4.    Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
5.    People should continually file complaints with their Attorney Generals office
6.     Report any criminal activity to the FBI here:    https://tips.fbi.gov

This is an all out attack from these scum suckers! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft the FBI should be forced to get involved. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

Register your phone numbers online at http://www.donotcall.gov or call (888) 382-1222 (must call from # you want removed).

There is a blog site that has information on one of these operations:     http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com
Please read the blog and report violations to the proper authorities.
http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com/2013/02 ... licit-robocalls

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 all 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.
Most of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.

The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them almost nothing and they make millions of them so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.
Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.

The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a very short time.

This is an all out attack from these scum suckers! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft the FBI should be forced to get involved. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).

If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.
In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the Caller ID at no charge as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.

There is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.

They need reported to the attorney general of your state...then the FTC and FCC
You can call them...or fill out complaint forms on line...the more that do this..the faster they act..and they DO act...
Use the address someone posted above...we have no other one right?

Thank you...will do in the morning!
The squeaky wheels get the grease.....I hope everyone here joins in reporting.

Got a phone call (10:41am) from an out-of-state number that I didn't "know" or recognize.  
(Does this mean that they are involved in Interstate Fraud?)  
They, of course, left no message.  
As always, I didn't answer, but looked up the number here.  

I am on the National Do-Not-Call List, and have been for over a couple of years now.  
(I guess this is our government at work for us.)  

I'm going to
http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
AND to
https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
and see if that can get the government to work for me, and stop these calls.  
(Yes I will go through all those steps.)  [I have also bookmarked these URL's.]  
I have also assigned a silent ringtone to this number.  (I am up to 49 now.)
We should all pile on.

I like to have fun with them and see how filthy I can get before the hang up on me - I'm also buying an air horn since they most likely use a headset it will really hurt them.

The gave me continuously 4 -5 missed calls today. Google it and found out that they are scammer and try to get you credit card.

This number called me 5 times in 2 minutes at 8 AM!!!!
Im sick of it.

I'm a democrat - trust me, not only do I NOT get a "cut" I get just as many of these calls as all of you do. (LOVE the foghorn idea LOL)

robocall about lowering interest, final chance under stimulus. blah blah blah.

This is a call from B. Hussein Obama's good friends. A GANG OF CROOKED, USURY CHARGING, MONEY CHANGER, BANKING CARTEL KENITES. Lying Synagogue of Satan Credit Card scammers.

I see good info in previous [posts. Pretty well describes these scum bags.

On my caller ID: LOWER INTEREST

I always know who they are when it comes up with that name. They never leave a message.

We should give them the same treat we gave Osama Bin Laden... Go SEALS!

Lots of luck with reporting them... Been there... Done that... Didn't even get a T-shirt!

I have over 69 phone numbers from these and other scammers. The funny part is I don't have a credit card and haven't for more than 40 years. There has got to be a way to shut them down.

They call about once a week - driving me crazy - I don't even know how many years - why be on a NO CALL LIST when no one does anything about stopping these annoying calls?  I don't even have a credit card - I don't need to lower my interest rate - I have tried the opt out message, tried reasoning with them when they answer - they must be incredibly stupid - they won't take NO for an answer - maybe I should go out and get a credit card - charge the SHIIIIIIIII out of it and then ask for their help --  I could buy a new house, a new car, a new wardrobe - it would be wonderful - then I could claim bankruptcy -

They keep saying that this is the last opportunity.  I have never heard such a stupid joke!
Keep calling no matter what button you press to get eliminated.  I can't get upset with the idiot on the other end,
it is just somebody doing their job taking orders for a real idiot.
It is very disturbing, especially when I don't owe anything on credit.

want them to stop calling

I reported them today to the FCC complaint center. I got a live person once, and asked to be removed. I was promptly hung up on. I am on the do not call list, and do not have credit cards. They keep calling no matter what. This time I hit no button at all; and it just disconnected itself. I was hoping it would lead me to a live person if I waited, but alas, no luck. Going to see if there is a way to block these numbers through the phone company automatically.

http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com Read it and learn.

"Final Notice, because of the recent (!??) financial stimulus! " Then this is cut off, probably by the DoNotCall.gov list, after a request to press 1 to talk to someone or get off the list or ????

Don't answer.
