Got the call and I disconnected it.

For those who comment "I'm on the Do Not Call list"... these people are criminals... they are scammers, trying to get your credit card number(s).  If they're calling your cell phone, investigate "block caller" and start adding these numbers to a dummy contact... you can't get them to stop by talking to them.  
Best thing you can do is to get as much information from them as you can and file a report with the Federal Trade Commision (FTC): http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls/

When I listen to it I hit 1, then a live man comes on and when I say my name and that you called me they hang up on me!!!!!

You are taking the wrong approach.  Identify and contact the phone company that owns that number.  This is easily done by dialing the adjacent numbers until you get an answer.  Explain the situation and ask that person who their service provider is.  Contact that service provider and let them know that the number is the source of illegal calls. Once they know their service is being used for illegal activity, they must do something or be held liable for complicity in an illegal act.

I've got 3 calls from Nikki or Carol today, automated message telling me this is my last chance to take advantage of lowering my credit cards. When I try to call this number back, this is a false number that is not in service. One of the times, I was able to press #1 to be connected , but as soon as I started to ask to be removed, they hung up on me.

This number is now being used by the "Ann from Cardmember Services" group.  Report them, especially if they call your cell phone - that's a violation of FCC regulations regarding cell phone usage, as well as the Do Not Call Registry.  The more times they are reported, the more likely they are to have that # shut down.  Then THEY have to pay to get a new #!  Make it expensive enough, maybe they'll give up!

this number needs to stop call my cell phone

A lady from this number called stating they can help with lowering our CREDIT CARD interest rate....what scam " NEVER " give your credit card number to anyone over a phone. These people should be caught and thrown in jail for scamming, elderly please be very careful.

This number called me twice with no one on the other end. What is going on?

They keep calling & every time I try & ask who they are or to stop calling they hang up on me.

I recieved 7 calls from this number between Dec 7th and 10th. I don't answer numbers that I don't recognize, so I let them go to voicemail. No message was left at any time.  My phone showed the call as coming from South Carolina.

They are not always sold.  Some companies decide to call an area code and then a prefix.  After that they start with 0001 and go to 9999 using the same area code and prefix.  It may not have been sold, especially when the caller is from afar.
If you kept getting calls from local places THEN your number has been sold.  Local places inquire about numbers in a certain geographic vicinity.  Your local pizza joint wouldn't do any good calling someone 2 states over about their new delivery service. They are the one that you need to look out for.
