Who Called Us

Thanks Jack I just called the # for the appointment setter These people are gonna get calls from me Everday!!!!!!

Just wanted to add to those that may be receiving these odd ball area code 310-305-386 numbers to their cell phone. I add them to my contacts and assign a no ring to the contact so I would never hear from that number again. I would get all worked up and make reports to the no not call list and or FCC and never hear anything ( this has been my experience). It just resolves the problem and I don't have to hear the ring and they never leave a voice mail message.

FCC.GOV You can file a complaint online, and they actually send you a confirmation letter. Stop being a victim!

ALL "78" OF US SHOULD REPORT THIS TO THE FCC TODAY.

Wed. Feb. 4... the CallID showed INTL CALL. When I answered, a recording gave a message about
my" last chance for an auto warrantee" and directed me to push 1 to speak to
a representative and I selected it. A woman's voice again mentioned something about a warrantee. I asked
who she was and why she called and she hung up. This ID has been on my phone before and if the phone
isn't answered it's a hang up.

Received calls from this number, answered phone, caller just hangs up. This has happened multiple times recently. FCC needs to find out what company is doing this and put a stop to it.

I guess companies like these have determined that any threat, real or perceived, from the F.C.C for "Do not call" violations is an acceptable cost of doing business.I think it is safe to say that the "Do not call" Registry is a cynical and unenforced law designed solely to pacify the masses.

I read Jack's posts regarding the scam. I have received many calls like that who leave pre-recorded messages on my answering machine but there is never a number on the caller id, so I haven't been able to report them. This time I picked up and they hung up. No one even tried to speak. Still getting harrassed and have no way of stopping them.

Just keeps calling my house

Pre-recorded message saying this is the final attempt to contact me to lower my credit card interest rates. When I was connected to a "live" person whose name was Stephen and told him I had previously requested to have my phone number removed from their calling list he abruptly hung up.

Obviously this is not a reputable company.

Called ID reads "Intl Call" with a 310 area code. When answered, it's a recorded message saying "Don't hang up - this is your last change to lower your credit card rate. We've attempted to reach you several times..." yada, yada, yada.

I followed the prompt and got a representative on the line. He proceded to ask me questions about my vehicle (year, make, and model). I then gave him bogus information and he hung up. I was hoping to move forward and get someone on the line to get a trace. I think they know how long to be on the line before a trace can be administed...

I am tired of these assholes calling all the time. If it is not my home phone it is my cell phone and occasionaly my office phone as well. They have no fear and I am not sure waht it is they want.

Just fast beeps after the answering machine picked up.

keep a large blow horn near your phone, and let 'em have it!!!!

called 1/27/2009 - caller unknown. Hung up after I answered.

Intl call no message

Thanks Jack, just got my 5th call from these lowlifes. Will be posting the information you listed on a few other sites.

You must also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the last link below to see how effective this can be.

I file complaints against Versadebt and VP Marketing every time I receive a call. If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money. You may also try to write your congress person.

Additional information: This is what can happen if everyone were to complain!
ago.mo.gov

See the following press releases to see how effective your complaints can be:
ago.mo.gov
ago.mo.gov
ftc.gov

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time? But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:
419eater.com.

2) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: esupport.fcc.gov

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
donotcall.gov

You must also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the last link below to see how effective this can be.

You can learn much more about these douchebags by performing a web search for "versadebt," and "vp marketing," or "heather from account services."

NOW, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? You have two solutions:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. Tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. Keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below).

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Here are some links to prove my research:
Job listings for VP Marketing:
http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobResults.aspx?ncc=^"VP+Marketing"$&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=65cc3191c8ec4200beb8f180570269d1-267407999-RF-4&ns_siteid=ns_us_g_"vp_marketing"_at

Notice the job listings for "Appointment Setter," "Qualification Representative," "Auto Warranty Specialist," and "Financial Representatives." Those are the idiots you get on the phone when you press "1" to speak to a representative after receiving their ILLEGAL recorded phone calls. Also, you can see many other job listings with similar titles.

Interestingly, if you view these help wanted ads, you will notice that their address and phone number are different from what is listed with the Georgia Department of State. They now list 678-741-3188 and 678-741-3189 as the phone number of Human Resources. IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO CALL THEM AS THEY LISTED THEIR NUMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Call them to find out more information about this company. You will need this in your complaints to the FCC, FTC, and your state Attorney General.

You can call them to see if they offer Car Warranties or tell them you are interested in a lower interest rate. It is quite humorous to listen to their answers!

Here are some details from RipOff Report:

PEOPLE. PEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE FROM CALIFORNIA IS CALLING YOU.

THEY DID NOT.

SOME VICTIM'S PHONE NUMBER WAS SPOOFED ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

The company making this call with an auto dialer is a known scam outfit. They spoofed phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number 310-485-8984 is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of this company. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, owned by the same people that try to scam innocent victims. One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..."

Called me at 10:03am here in NY. It was a recorded message saying something about my car warantee. I don't even have a car. The last time I got calls like this, they were using a different number (this number is from California - last time, it was a number from here in NY). They are stealing phone numbers to use, which is why no one can get through when they call back.
Instead, wait for the list of choices so you can push a number to talk to someone. When that person answers, scream as loudly as you can into the phone, or use one of those air horns into the microphone, to make them hang up. After they do hang up, you hang up too...then, pick the reciever back up, and dial *57 so the phone company can trace the call. Then, you can report it to the authorities, and your trace will give them something to work with. That's what I'm doing next time these idiots call me. Hey, if we can't make them stop calling, then maybe we can make them go deaf, right?

First called twice as Unknown/Unknown and then as Unknown/310-485-8984 - picked up phone - nobody there!

we keep on getting calls from this number and since we scan all our calls...they hang up

They call all the time and it just says INTL CALL on the caller ID.

INTL Call
No message
12:17p 10 Dec 2008

These people have called several times from several different numbers always a recorded call saying it is the last day I can lower my credit card rates, all I have to do is press 1. I always do that and tell the real people that answer that this number is on the Do Not Call list and what they are doing is illegal. That must not be on their script because they never have a response to it. I'm fed up with them
