Just got a call from these bozos. Shows up as ONTARIO and the number (613) 216-2172.

Since we've been getting these daily I finally presses 6 to talk to someone. Apparently we qualify for a credit card rate reduction.

When I asked from which bank they were calling, they hung up.

This one doesn't pass the smell test.

They woke me up with a call to my cell phone.  When i called back the number was no longer in service--about 3 minutes later.

I keep receiving this call. I called it back and it says the number is disconnected.
Ottawa  ON  (613) 216-2172 appears on my caller ID

I am also on the DNC list, but every time I try to get some info to get them stopped, they hang up.

This time, I played along.  The automated message said they were from "Credit Card Services".  When I spoke to a representative, he asked if I wanted to lower my credit card rate.  I told him I did.  He asked if I had over $4000 in credit card debt, I told him I did. (even though I have no credit card debt.)  I was trying to get to the point where he would ask me personal information so I could question him back.  

But then the curious question happened:  "Are you over 70 years old?"
I replied no, thinking a credit card company would be interested in younger people.  With that, he hung up.  

It concerns me that they are targeting older people exclusively.  My grandparents would probably fall for this-

It's a scam.  Shows (613) 216-2172 "Ontario" on caller ID.  They are tryomng to get your credit card information.  File an online complaint with the FTC here:http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

This number has called several times for several days. ?Caller ID says "unknown name" then the #. As soon as answering machine kicks in they hang up. I'm on the do not call list, also.  Maybe next time I'll answer & let them know what they can w/obama mortgage plan.
