looks like whomever this is is at it again.....i didn't answer as i knew it was a call from ontario canada....so i called back and a voicemail greeting says the mailbox is full....whatever....obviously whomever this is is up to no good AGAIN!!

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 get calls from this number 3 different times a day, every day. I finally decided to answer and it was a 60 second recorded messages stating that interest rates on my credit cards are set to increase tomorrow and if I want to lock in a low interest rate, I need to speak to customer service. So I did, I pressed 6 to find out who it was that was calling and to get more general info as to what type of scam they are trying to run. After pressing 6, it connected me to a live "Card Services" agent who asked which cards I would like to lock in low interest rates and the card numbers. My first and only question was "which bank are you calling from?" The guy paused for about 7-10 seconds (I could still hear his breathing and other background noise), and then hung up on me.

Short of having the FBI trace calls connecting to my number, I doubt reporting a complaint with the FTC will do anything since most likely, the (613) 216-2172 number is faked using some sort of Spoofing (see spoofcard.com). The best thing I can think of to do is have everyone ANSWER the call and have everyone connect to the Card Services Agent and then hang up. If no one answers and connects to the service rep, he/she wont be bothered. BUT if EVERYONE connected the call WE would then be the ones WASTING these a-holes time, effort and money. The goal is to increase their operating overhead while wasting their time, frustrating them out of business. What would you do if the thousands of potential customers you were seeking suddenly all returned your call, flooding your system with junk leads and phone hang-ups? Think about it -- it makes total sense.

was just called. no message was left. they called at 7:00pm during dinner. we are ate the "No Soliciatation Calls" list so I'm not sure why this happened.

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.

Today, something about reducing interest on a credit card.  Just hung up to not waste any more of my time.  BTW I do not own a credit card.  Obviously a scam.
