I got an alert supposedly from Capital One. They said to call them back or press 9 to get 0% on my credit card. I contacted my credit card and they said that I could email their abuse line and report it. My account is fine. I’m getting at least one robo call a day.

Today I decided to answer the call and hit 9 to speak with someone and I had told the guy " I don’t have a credit card nor would I like one please stop calling me" his response was " I don’t care if you want the calls or not. You can go kill yourself" and then hung up on me!

This number calls claiming to be from "your" credit card company with an offer to reduce your interest rates on ALL of your cards to 0%. Just press 0 so you can hand them all of your personal information. I pressed 0 and was greeted by someone asking which credit card I would like help with. When I asked him to remove me from his call list he hung up on me. Such an annoying thing to deal with and hopefully people aren’t falling for it!

I have gotten numerous phone calls stating I qualify for 0% interest on a credit card. The recording says you can opt out by pressing 3 with it wont let you. If you press 1 to talk to someone the person is extremely persistent and wont take no for an answer and will continue to call back even when you ask him not to. Also when you call the number back its personal message stating you’ve reached Amelio?

The people keep calling me, and are somehow calling people in my family. I know it’s a scam because I have no debt in order for these people to be saying they’re going to serve me papers or what not to my home or place of employment. They even called my sister in law. I haven’t had any new account of any kind in years. I have never used my sister in law as a reference or contact even when I did get a credit card or loan. It’s cruel what they’re doing. They’re trying to get my information and they’re trying to get other people to give them my information. I’ll post the voicemail below, I have been called twice, I blocked the first number, but they called back the next day from a slightly different number. I don’t want to have to deal with this everyday. And, I seriously don’t want them calling someone else in my family with my last name, and those relatives being gullible enough to give out my address, work, and personal information. Please investigate this!

This is David Lewis contacting *** ***  You’re being notified of a claim in our office that is being filed against you. We will be verifying your current address as well as place of employment for delivery of the proper documentation at this time it is your legal right to contact the office directly at 844-394-2807. Again that is 844-394-2807 or press one to be connected immediately. This will service official and final notification by phone.

As I will answer the questions below, they will mostly be answered as a no, only because I haven’t picked up the phone to talk to the scammer. The only thing I see is the voice messages left behind by this so called company. I’m quite certain of I would pick up the phone and engage in any conversation they would most definitely try to get some sort of monetary gain. It’s most definitely a scam, I have looked the number up online and numerous people have reported on the phone number. I don’t take lightly to someone threatening me about going to my place of work or trying to get my address/personal information. I had lived at the same address for years, so they are absolutely phishing for information on me that they didn’t have in hope’s to be able to scare me. They are relentless and call numerous times a day, and I’m getting extremely tired of it. I am at the point where I actually do want to answer the phone and tell them off, but I know with these types of people, it won’t get me anywhere. I’m mainly reporting because I know there are very gullible people out there that have no idea that these types of scams have been going on for years and they have no idea that these people only want to steal their money. I have had very nice and honest friends taken advantage of by these people for the amount of $5000.00, they believed them because they were honest and wanted to pay any debt they had, they just thought it was something that they didn’t know about or something that slipped under the radar while my friend’s husband was overseas. So, if you could please get these people caught, there’s absolutely no reason why people have to be worried with scammers and aggravating phone calls, when there’s already enough things to worry about in this world and day to day life. Thank you for your time!

2 different phone numbers called in 3 days time stating that it was my card company and that I should press 1 to speak to a representative. The first card I just hung up. 2 days later I pressed 1 to tell them to stop calling me. The phone immediately hung up. I promptly called the number back, it was a sweet little female voice stating that she had not called me that she had not used the phone all day.

It’s an automated call saying you can get a better interest rate on your credit card. I knew it was a scam bc I don’t have any credit cards. When I confronted the live agent, he had a foreign accent. He said oh my god and hung up on me.

I’m 77 years old. I just got a call from a man with an Indian accent telling me he could lower my credit card interest rate. He asked me for my credit card number. I asked why he needed it, and he said he could get me a lower interest rate. He said "You don’t understand, I can give you a lower interest rate".

The scammer called my cell phone several times in reference to my credit card which I do not have (# calling from is 843-506-9407). On Wednesday November 22, 2017 at approximately 10:30 am, the scammer called me once again. I finally selected #9 to speak to a representative to let them know I think this is a scam and not to call me again or I will report them. The person then responded by cursing me out saying "This is NOT a credit card company so take this *** and *** it ** ***—- ***, then he disconnected the call. I then had another number start calling me which I never answered. That number is 682-237-4229. When calling that number back, it goes to a automated message playing music then disconnects. The original number (843-506-9407) is no longer in service. I really hope you can track both numbers to see who this is so they do not prey on the elderly which has been going on quit a bit.

Claimed my credit card was chosen as the winner. Press 1 for more details. When pressing 1 (knowing all along this was a scam) a male answered and I questioned his service then asked for him to take my number off his calling list and he hung up. Upon calling back, a female answered saying she did not call. I called back again and it went straight to voicemail.

Caller was offering to lower interest rate on credit card. I normally hang up immediately but was caught off guard after answering either "yes" or "sure" to a question. Now worried it could have been recorded and used against me although I hung up after the fact. Just wanted to report number. Hoping this doesn’t come back to haunt me.

I had a phone call at 08.00am this morning from an Indian sounding man whom asked if I had spent $600 dollars on my visa card on a money transaction via Western Union to China. At first (having being woken up by the call) I thought it was genuine, however seeing that my visa card is issued in Hong Kong, I was suspicious and asked what company was the so called visa card from, to which he replied TD bank. At that point I told him that I don’t have a TD bank and goodbye. 5 minutes later he rung back and said Mr (my Name) this is your bank calling, at that time I informed him the call was being traced by the police and goodbye.

I am not sure what the scam is I assume it is to get someone to give out their credit card details, I would just like to get the information out there so that elderly people do not get scammed.

Thank you

i answered my cell phone to hear an automated voice say, "there is no issue with your credit card account," "press one to speak to an associate." When I pressed one, my call was transferred to a account representative, who was apparently unaware that I could hear a close by representative ask "what if we could lower your interest rates?" Alarmed because I don’t/have not applied for a credit card. I called the number on call ID, (773-552-7035), the error message said "this number is not in use at this time." I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CREDIT CARD HAS BEEN OPENED IN MY NAME!

1 (773) 552-7035 IS THE NUMBER ON MY CALLER ID @ 11:34 AM, 08/10/2016

Automated call to my cell phone. I pressed "9" to speak to someone to opt out of the calls. Andrew answered the phone. When I asked to be removed from their phone list, He promptly told me "it depends how nice I am to him". Then he continued to chide me about my removal. I asked to speak to his supervisor and he said, "Oh you don’t want me to do that". Then I hear a rustling noise on the phone and another male voice (trying to change their voice to a higher pitched female voice) gets on the phone. He says, "hello" in a low tone sexual type way. I hung up. These people need to be STOPPED.
