This is VersaDebt calling again, using a spoofed number. I filed yet another complaint with the Do Not Call registry & FCC:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC):
fcc.gov
The Federal Trade Commission
Standard recorded message from "National Health Services" offering some form of health insurance. Option 1 to be connected to an agent; Option 2 to be removed from the list. I chose option2- let's see what happens. Because it came into my business line, the FCC complaint form doesn't work this time. But the Do-Not-Call Registry complaint form applies here: donotcall.gov
After you make a complaint with the FCC and the FTC, you can also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau: odr.bbb.org
I did and got an apology (let's see how sincere it is!)
Contact Name and Title: M. Richardson Response Dp
Contact Phone: 1-877-383-7748
Contact Email: versadebt.com
We sincerely apologize for calls made to the resident. Our calls are generated from an outbound lead source, and if the client is on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY, then I'm not sure how we obtained the contact information. That information should not be available. The residents telephone number will be added to our company DO NOT CALL list to ensure no further responses.
I got a call from a guy who offered the "free package"-- 10 days of internet access, phone access, a weight loss drink and a digital camera-- all for the shipping cost of $1.95. I was able to keep them on the line long enough to get the website and phone number
apexservicesonline.com
I spoke to "Walter" in the sales dept-- he gave me his direct number: 323-315-7304
After getting the info, I requested to be removed from his list- poor guy- he actually seemed surprised!
I will file a complaint with the FCC fcc.gov and the FTC Do Not Call Registry: donotcall.gov
Once again-- this nasty, annoying, and lawbreaking telemarketing agency has called again! (I've received similar calls from the same company since December)
Versa Debt called my residential line this morning and again on my business line this afternoon! I've filed two seperate complaints with the FCC: fcc.gov and also the Better Business Bureau of Atlanta (where the business is actually located):

If you hear the recorded message "Hi this is Heather from Credit Card Services..." or "This is James from the Warranty Activation Center....", these all come from the same source-- Versa Debt.
File a complaint with the FCC!!

Here is the Versa Debt website with additional contact info:

Maybe we can all flood their switchboard!
I did a little online research and it looks like this number is one of the many spoofed numbers that a scam credit card company is using. The company appears to be Versa Debt and is now known as Personal Debt Solutions, based in Marrieta, GA (even though this number appears to be from Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
Here are some posts from another website that I read, from former employees:
-----------------
The name of the company is versa debt,debt safe, account services, warranty, now called PDS (personal debt solutions) the address is 4501 circle 75 pkwy #a 1225 atalnta ga 30339 The phone number is 678.569.0621 and managers name is brittany dunphy (she has a yahoo account and that is how they communicate) If you add her to your yahoo messanger you may get messages from her from time to time) the human resources manager is lasheena calloway 678-238-1307.

Someone also did a phone number search and came up with this:

The company is appearantly called "versa debt". See more info about them at 800notes.com. They use forged caller IDs.
-----------------
I have been hit by this company a number of times on my unlisted, businessline and have filed a couple complaints with the FCC.
If we all file complaints with the FCC, maybe we can put them out of business!!
I sent an e-mail request to donate@calpal.org to request removal. I got an apology and promise to add my number to their internal do-not-call list from their director of development. Very professional!
I found this info on ripoffreport.com - apparently the address of this company:
Versa Debt Aka Debt Safe Aka Card Services-safe Ride Aka Warranty Activation
Phone: 877-6803328
Fax: 678-2380625
