Strangely enough, I got a call from these guys while I was talking to my girlfriend and one of the things we were discussing was her enormous student load and credit card dept. Makes me think they fish the wires for keywords...like the FBI or something.

See reference to 323-429-7525. This is the same company which operates under a couple names - the one they used when I asked was MCSI (Mutual Consulidation Services Inc.)
They've got great rebuttals. Automated messages uses vague terminology to describe your "debt" - so when I spoke to an agent I asked, which of my credit cards they would reduce for me. The agent promptly with a canned response "for your security, your phone number is not passed to us from the dialer so I don't have that information available at the moment - can I get your name?"
Obviously I asked to be removed from their list. I got a chuckle from the next question - "Is <my phone number> the only phone number that I need 'removed' from their list?" (I thought that wasn't passed to them?)
Next was even better, "Could you pass me to anyone else that could use our help???"
Sounds like a 2-stage phishing scam - if they can't get your credit card number, then get as validate as many phone numbers as possible and sell to the next scam/use under their next scam.
I expect another call tomorrow. hmmm. Too bad this isn't illegal. :p

I pressed 1. Asked to be taken off their list. The guy confirmed my number and said thankyou.

Call went something along the lines of "This is (girl's name) from Credit Card Services. This is our third attempt to contact you. Our records indicate that you're paying too much interest on your credit card."By that time I hung up: I don't have a credit card. Scam.
