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.

I got a call from this number, but when ????????????it was hanged up.

This person either just landed on planet earth, or..! But my hunch tells me it's possibly an employee. You can report them by calling phone busters 1-+1 888-495-8501, www.phonebusters.com   So far, many, many complaints have been filed. They're getting desperate it seems. What a bunch of crooks, esp. during the holiday season!

credit card scam asking for your credit card #

I received a call offering me lower interest rates on my visa. The person knew way too many details about me...    Funny thing is I don't have any credit cards. He gave me a name,probably phony. Name of company was Credit Card Consumer Advocate. The phone number to call back was 1-+1 888-516-2459....although my call display showed 1-(647) 288-1289. Good news though ....apparently my payment history is in good standing otherwise they wouldn't be calling. LOL!!!

I just received a call from (647) 288-1289 about credit rates.  I pushed 9 as directed and was connected to a "live operator" - their words not mine.  I told him I did not want calls from them and to un-list me.  He hung up on me.
