I say where are you calling from?
He says Austin, Texas.
I ask where in Austin?
He recognizes my voice, but then says London.
I say, Why not Mumbai today?
He curses me out.
I say we are going to bomb your ass.
He goes on in that vein as we hang up.
Hi, I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, many of these illegal calls come from outside the country, which can make them very difficult to trace or regulate. The FTC's action plan for combating robocalls is available at ftc.gov/robocalls.
Needs to Stop | September 28, 2018
All my phone numbers are listed on the National Do Not Call list, however, a company called "Card Member Services" keeps calling and using local phone numbers every time. The last number used comes up on my called ID as an elderly woman's actual phone number. The man on the phone sounded from India and not the elderly woman who pays to use that phone number. How is it legal for companies/people who use technology to "lower your interest rate" (whether real or scam) can steal anyone's phone number? There are 2 things very wrong! 1. My phone numbers should not be contacted due to them being on the National Do Not Call list. 2. People's actual phone numbers are being used to "lower their interest rates" by "Card Member Services". How can anyone/government make this stop?! Thank you

"Cardmember Services" is what Citibank uses for their customers to pay their credit card bill and they are NOT this company using other people's phone numbers to get people's information and scam American's. Do NOT give anyone who calls you your information!!

Based on all these comments over the years, I don't see an end to the calls. What I have done, which helps slow them down I believe, is stay on the line with them. Granted, I can't do this all the time, but when I have 10 minutes to spare, I just start asking silly questions that they will answer, like which credit card company are you with? or, so you can lower my rates, wow? Things like that. After I get bored or run out of time I let 'Jake Parker'(the last caller's name) know that I am not giving them any info and I was yanking there chain and wasting their time time to help prevent another person from being called. Every time I have been cussed out substantially before they hang up. Very entertaining. If we get to the part where they want card information, I just start giving them random numbers. All cards of the same type start with the same 4 numbers, so I start with those, very very slowly.
Good luck to all.
Good luck to all.

The point that is lost with all of these experiences is that the power elite (1%'s), who are constantly creating new streams of revenue, are behind these scams, that's why nothing is being done. The answers to all questions concerning injustices is quite simple -- FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Credit card services robocall. When I pressed 1 to be taken off their list (again), he asked me to get married. Very pushy and kept saying "I would make your life comfortable, I'm a very interesting person". I asked for a manager. "Manager" (who was in fact the same person) then offered marriage in exchange for a "comfortable life". Would not tell me who they were calling on behalf of. Just that they want to help me and that I "would be very happy with my marriage". I feel as tho I have been sexually molested. Verizon says they cannot stop this...
