Message indicated that this was the second and last call to reduce my credit card interest and to push the number #2 to be connected with an agent
When I pushed the number - I was connected with an agent who said this was Card Services (probably a fake name) and was I interested in reducing my credit card interest. When I asked for an address and company name so I could have them NOT CALL MY NUMBER
AGAIN - the agent hung up
These scammers use several numbers from the same Massachusetts area code and prefix. The others that call me regularly are (978)-570-2039 and (978) 570-2040. So far, I've been blocking them because (as others have noted), the Canadian DNC registry can't do anything about U.S. companies phoning up here.
I guess turnabout is fair play, though, because Canadian companies have been getting around the U.S. DNC registry in the same manner for several years. Maybe it's time for a North American DNC registry, eh?
Yup - most annoying that Canadian law can't stop the cross-border spam.
To bypass a Canadian law that makes telemarketing like this ***ILLEGAL*** because of the do not call list (which I'm on), they get these companies in the US to call us instead.
Absolute crooks in the first degree.
I bet a Canadian company forwards the do-not-call list phone numbers to these scamster companies in the US.
All just a bunch of sorry crooks. Pathetic.
Definitely a credit card scam. "Final notice". "Must be at least $4000 in debt." Blah, blah, blah. I'm on the national do not call list. Too bad it doesn't stop scum bags that call from the U.S. You can't block them because they call with a different number every time. They called me yesterday from 978-570-2339.
me too
same area code exchange and number range as Auto Warranty scam calls
