F--- Lisa eh. After you click 1 or sometimes 9 you get some East Indian, usually, who barely speaks English and they will gladly take your CC info or banking info and totally eff you over. It's a scam 100%

Some nonesence call center saying they could lower our credit card interest rate. When my wife pressed '1' to tell them to REMOVE us from our their call list, they answered - first by coughing (LOL) and then when asked to remove us from their list, they simply hung up.

Yes a company claiming my credit card company wants to lower my rate.... lol right..  No mention of name.  I wish I could find out who does this and show up at thier door.  Really why are the police not all over this  come on coppers  do something rather than pulling over people for no reason.

Kevin,As much as I'd like to see these companies go down and get charged by the police, I think it's unfair to blame the cops on this one.  These scammers register these phone numbers under false names and addresses so tracking them down would be next to impossible.I suppose the only other thing one might do is what someone already suggested (and I don't remember exactly who right now) and contact the provider of the telephone number (which can be found on many reverse-lookup sites, even if there is no owner information) and say that you're getting harassing/scam calls from this number.  Might not hurt to file a police report before you do this so you can give the telephone company the report number for their file.  If they get enough complaints about any given number, they can cancel it.Although, I'm sure that these scammers have a dozen numbers set up, so losing one won't be a big deal.  The problem is just SO big, where does one start?

why can't these calls stop

We get lots of call from this number, never a message. So I say SCAM!
