Some guy with an east indian accent called to inform me that he wanted to lower my interest rate. I asked where he was calling from. Arizona, he said.  I informed him that I was on the no-call list. he hung up.

I'm in Ottawa. It was an automated message saying "this is Lisa calling about your credit card. There is no problem, it's just to notify you that your credit card company has now qualified you for a lower interest rate as low as 6%. Press 9 to be connected to a representative." there was no mention of which company which screamed scam so I hung up. I tried calling the number back to see if it was blocked for incoming calls or if it would connect to a company. Turns out that identical automated message qualifying people for the lower rate is also on the incoming line. It went directly to the automated message with still no acknowledgment of any company.

I'm in B.C. It was an automated message saying "this is Lisa calling about your credit card. There is no problem, it's just to notify you that your credit card company has now qualified you for a lower interest rate as low as 6%. Press 9 to be connected to a representative.An east Indian sounding man answered.said he was in Alberta Canada.and sad he needed to verify who i was.Wanted type of card,exp. date.I stopped answering him.He hung up and called back.This time my call display showed unavailable name and unknown number.I didn't speak, the same mans voice said mister and used my last name.which I didn't give him.He said my name again, and then hung up. My phone than rang again with +1 888-556-5158 as the display.The same man said thank you using my last name again.And waited a moment before hanging up again.No calls since.

This one didn't leave a message when my machine picked up.I rarely receive these calls, but if I accidentally answer a number I don't know, the calls start up again very frequently. They probably sell 'time of day & use' information to others.Weird thing is: my land-line corded phone rarely shows names or numbers, while for the same call my cordless landline sometimes shows half the info or unknown name- unknown number, while my 'on TV display' will show a name or phone number  that the phones don't. ..So if I don't memorize what was flashed on my TV, I can't even track it. I try to ALWAYS screen. And tell anyone I give my number to, to leave a message. I wait to recognize the caller before picking up.

get yourself one of those air horns, they don't call back  :)

I did a reverse number lookup and of course the company is unknown. However it is a Telus number and I am going to contact them and complain that this customer is harrassing me.  Hope it works.
