Still Receiving Calls from "Card Services"

If you google "card services" you will see that they are scammers and steal identities. I've been battling with them for way over a year to stop calling me. I file complaints with the "Do Not Call Registry" and still get phone calls. Most times I wait out the recorded portion of the message and tell them to cease and desist with the phone calls and take my name off their list. No luck so far. They change their telephone numbers like some folks change their underwear. Yesterday afternoon about 4:12, dh answered and hung up on one of their calls and this time it was from a cell number. Because I didn't get the number, I didn't make a complaint this time but it doesn't matter because they keep calling anyway. I think the "Do Not Call Registry" isn't what it is cracked up to be. A local travel agency has started making phone calls too even though we are on the "Do Not Call Registry." So we pay people with tax dollars to run that agency and I can't help but wonder what they're doing to earn their paychecks. So, I'm finished with my rant for the day. Take care everyone....

(Credit) Card Services--Identity Thieves Called AGAIN

I have been fighting this company and have made innumerable reports to the "Do Not Call" registry and "Card Services" keep calling me. Twice last month they called and I let it slide. My husband said he also answered when they called. The number they called from today (12:35 pm) is a wireless number 347-504-4345. They steal identities and cause a lot of problems for people so watch out if you get a call from them. I'm off to file ANOTHER report.

Guess What??? The Scammers Called Again

"Card Services" called again. These people are the ones who steal peoples' identities and credit card numbers. I've posted about them many times in the past and reported them to the "Do Not Call List/Registry" every time I receive calls from them. Everytime I get a human on the phone I tell them to not call me again and take my name off their list. For some reason I wasn't able to get a human today. That's ok, the telephone wires might have melted if I was able to give them a piece of my mind again. Anyway, watch out for this number from "caller" 567-248-4400. The numbers that show up on my caller id are different most times.  Here are a couple links where others have had problems with them.

In the past, I've found that the scammers "steal" phone numbers and this may be the case with today's call. See here and here for information on this number.

Here's a video from one news show's report about them, sorry, embedding isn't allowed so you have to go here.

OK, I'm finished here now and I've already filed my report as I was multitasking here. Hope y'all have a good day.

Remember, if "Card Services" calls, they are identity thieves and do NOT give them your credit card number and do NOT give them your Social Security Number.

Second Time Scammers Called in Less than an Hour!

The scamming Card Services just called AGAIN! This time I was able to press "9" and get someone. The man asked "are you calling to lower your interest rate?" I replied, "I pressed 9 to tell you not to call me again." Click. This time the number I was called from was (567) 259-9780. This call came in at 2:39 pm. The previous call was at 2:15 pm. Filed 2nd complaint of the day with the "Do Not Call" registry.

The Bums Called AGAIN!

The scamming Credit "Card Services" called again. When I pressed "9" to talk with a representative, it hung up on me so I wasn't able to tell them to get lost again. I'm off to fill out ANOTHER complaint. The number they called from this time was (637) 000-2238. Do not have anything to do with these people if they call you. They are identity thieves.

And Yet ANOTHER Call from the SCAMMERS!

If you've been visiting my blog lately, you may have noticed that I've been getting many calls from an organization that specializes in identity theft. Well, I just received ANOTHER call from them at about 2:45 this afternoon. This time, as soon as I talked to the person and said "no" to the question "do you want to reduce the interest rates on your credit cards?" the woman (this time it was a female) hung up on ME. She didn't even give me the opportunity to say that they needed to remove my number from their list and not to call again. The number the call came from this time was (870) 000-6654. I'm off to file ANOTHER complaint!

Why Won't the Scammers aka "Credit Card Services" Stop Calling?

I know I shouldn't answer the phone when I see a telephone number that that starts with "000" I should ignore it. I don't even though it is probably "Credit Card Services". I want to tell them again not to call and document that they are in violation of the "do not call" registry. Tonight at about 5:15, I see the number (637) 000-2238 on my caller id. I answer it, listen to the recording press the button to speak with someone, tell them to stop calling, that I have reported them several times in the past week and will do it again tonight. I told them that they were scammers and identity thieves and to take my name off their list and stop calling. He said they were not any of the things I said they were and that he'd be calling AGAIN! I told him in bad, bad language (left over from my days as a sailor) what he could do with himself. I thought he'd hangup but he didn't and then I did. I have already filed my new complaint with the "do not call" registry. One of these days they will be caught.

Two More Calls from the Scamming "Credit Card Services"

I made someone mad the other day. Credit Card Services has called TWICE today! I have filled out THREE reports, this week, with the Do Not Call registry on them because each time the call comes from a different telephone number. Here's my last entry on them. I also added the new telephone numbers they used (see comments). This time I called my telephone company too and info'd them that their phone security has been breeched--someone is STEALING phone numbers from them.

"Credit Card Services" = Identity Thieves

• Do NOT trust these people. 

• They are NOT a reputable company. 

• They are IDENTITY THIEVES.

Scammers Are Calling AGAIN! BEWARE of "Credit Card Services"

Some of you who have been reading my blog for a while may remember that I am having a war with a scamming company called Credit Card Services. They call you and promise to lower your credit card interest rates. OK, the first problem is, it is NEVER a good idea to give out credit card information over the phone unless you initiate the call to a business that you KNOW is reputable. The second problem is the number that shows up on the caller id LOOKS BOGUS-- (637) 000-2238. The 3rd problem is I have asked them many, many times to STOP CALLING ME, but they don't. For more information google their name or the telephone number I've given you and  see all the complaints about them. Once again, I registered a complaint with the Do Not Call folks. Today I told these idiots that they were predatory scammers and that I reported them before and was going to do it again. I told them that I was telling them AGAIN to take me off their call list. Their call came in shortly before 1 this afternoon and by 1, I was filling out the form to report them.

SCAM!!! "Rachael" from Credit Card Services

The scammers called again today at about 7:17 PM.  The lady said her name was Rachael and she was with Credit Card Services. A recording says they're calling about our credit card, there's no problem with it and we need to talk to them if we want to lower the interest rate. This time their phone number was different but the prefix was the same as another time when they called.  The number they called from was 502-000-9912.  It is really a strange looking number and a few times calls have come from a "000" prefix but different area codes..  I'm reporting them again.  One of these days they may quit calling!  I keep telling Credit Card Services to take my name off their call list and STOP calling me but they still do. Oh, and by documenting the calls here, someone else may see that these callers are scammers and not fall for their line. If you google this telephone number you can see that many people have received calls from this number and are getting upset about it.

It's Been A While But the Scammers Are Back!

I haven't received calls from scamming companies that promise to lower my credit card interest rates for a while.  Today, they're back in action.  The call came from 779-000-2145 (Name not found) at 3:02 pm.  I pressed 9 to get them to take my name off the list.  The lady wouldn't do it without me giving her my number!  I told the wench that since SHE had just called me, she already had my number and should lose it because the next time I received a call from that number I was reporting them for violating the provisions of the no-call list.  Geez, some people need to get REAL jobs and leave the rest of us ALONE!

Edited to add:  Got ANOTHER call from another phone number for the company Credit Card Services about lowering my interest rates.  The number on my caller id was from "wireless caller" with the phone number 813-332-5027.  I pressed 9 again and told the operator to stop trying to SCAM me!  The gentleman hungup.

Go here to learn how one man RECORDED his call from the scammer "Credit Card Services." I do NOT recommend doing this but it is interesting to know how shameless these scammers are! I recently wrote about my experience with this hoax. Be careful folks!

Unwanted Phone Calls Trying to Scam!!!

I keep getting phone calls from a company called Credit Card Services.  At least that's what they call themselves.  My caller ID says "unknown caller" and no telephone number is displayed.  The offer of reducing interest rates on credit cards to less than 7% sounded good but I wasn't born yesterday and know better than to give financial information out over the phone when I did not initiate the call!  I am on the Do Not Call List but I don't have a number for the jerks to report them!  Anyone have any ideas of what to do about these jerks?  Once again, I told the person to take my name off his list.  He said I was on his call list because I agreed to take phone calls about offers from 3rd parties....NOT!  Anyway, the little bit of sleuthing I've done on the Internet shows that other folks are fed up with getting phone calls from them too.  Check out what some people have to say here.  Just venting here.  My home time is private time and not time for idiots like these.  I promise to be nicer next time I blog.  Sharon
PS  I get calls from these people every week or 2 for more than a year.  I'm fed up with them!

Consumer Alert!!!
Check your phone bill. A company has put unauthorized charges on my phone bill for the last 3 months. they are listed as Agora Voice Messaging (800) 736-7500. Billing for them is done by a company called Integretel. They have charged $8.23 x3mon. When I called them, they said that I had authorized it through an online survey and that they had sent a verification email to me. Funny, the email addy they said they used was one I no longer use because it has gotten so bogged down with spam that it is ridiculous. So, remember this company's name and look at your bill. They have promised to reimburse for billing and this was by conference call with my phone company, them and me.
If you are having a hard time resolving problems with this company, you can call the FCC at 1-877-382-4357 or 1-888-225-5322
