same number called me about lowering my credit card rate.  Said his name was Alex and I didn't catch the name of the company, not to sound racist, but the only reason why I couldn't make it out was because his acsent was so heavy and there were at least a dozen other people making the same phone call in the background

We get called several times a day, and have for years. They want to get your credit card or personal data for some scam product or service. If you answer tell them nothing and hang up. Asking to be taken off their list, or threats go nowhere.

Don't waste your time getting frustrated.

They use spoofing software to fake any phone exchange in the world. They use a dialer to call hundreds of numbers at the same time.

These are the morons that should be prosecuted. They say it's great for professional people to protect their identity - but we all know the scum that use these services/software.

These jerks could be anywhere - likely some 3rd world country where no law can reach them. Don't answer and NEVER expect them to stop.

They won't.

This number called me and when I didn't pick up, left a mumbled and brief message. NEVER CALL AGAIN!
I am also on the DNC list but obviously that doesn't help much.
