My mom got called this morning. Credit Card Companies don't call you to lower your interest rate, thank you Opera and any other talk show that talked about finances. My mom had her credit card to look for the customer service number and it was incorrect so my mom said she doesn't want to do this over the phone and her credit unions will do it for her when she's in person.What buggers using that number in Ontario. Hence why I never pick up numbers out of province.

These people are really ramping up there game.  I recieve at least 2 telephone calls a day, from this number or there 877 number.  Nothing you can about them because they are calling on behalf of one of your existing suppliers. ie Mastercard, Sears, Visa, etc. I have tried to reason with them, threaten them, called the authorities, even went so far as to threaten my Credit Card and Bank with termination.No amount of pressure can stop these people.  They are located at hugh call center in India and do not respect international law as such.  Even changing you phone number won't stop them, everytime your credit report is updated by one of your lenders, they have your new number. Talking with your telco carrier doesn't work, as they use international telco lines and are VOIP so they are almost unstoppable.If you do find a way, other than going without any type of telephone/Cell please post here so we can benefit.

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

I am located in Calgary and I received a call on Feb. 5, 2011 from (647) 288-1289. The male caller did
not introduce himself to me, i.e. his name or which company he was working for. I asked him multiple times to tell me who he was and where he was calling from. He was calling to request that I "confirm" my credit card information with him. I told him to remove me from this call list and he hung up on me. I reported the call: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/plt-cmp-eng.

I received a call from these guys as well they called me from (647) 288-1289 but when i answered he just hung up and then  researched the number and it said it came from old city hall in toronto ontario canada
so i called the city and they said that they do not have that number no where in the building so i googled again and gave me the location and i pulled up city hall again i found this very strange wow i hope they get caught

yes same story today on my private and do not call home phone
