Robo call from debt reduction Solicitor

These people call me at least once a day, sometimes more. I tried to nicely ask one person to stop calling me because I don't have a Visa or MasterCard and am on the do-not-call list. She hung up on me. So yesterday when they called I claimed to iew about $15,000 on 3 cards and only pay a little more than the minimum every month. The caller then asked for my name and address (I thought they have been monitoring my credit for the past 6 months) and I said "hold on someone's knocking at my door" and left the phone down till she hung up about 10 minutes later.

(313) 444-1018 Robo call recorded 13 December 2016 ("This is not a solicitation call...on your excellent payment history you may now qualify...") to be scammed!
Caller ID: "Detroit MI"

Also called recently from: (438) 570-4764 / (207) 943-4755 / (857) 162-4750

Another call that is highly insulting to our intelligence, claiming "This is not a solicitation call...This is the Credit Card Holder Award Center from Visa Mastercard...On your excellent payment history you now qualify for a 0% interest rates on all your credit card accounts." a shotgun calling approach that calls everybody, whether they have an "excellent payment history" or not (or a credit card at all, for that matter).

Even more insulting, and somewhat spooky when they say "...we have been monitoring your credit card accounts for the last six months..." but they don't even know who I am. Don't even bother to press [3] to have your number removed from their call list, they'll never bother to remove you, you're on their list forever and they really want to scam you and they're betting that you're dumb enough to fall for their garbage.

Their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethic, doesn't it? Here is a transcript of this scam credit card rate reduction call:

[female voice] "[b]This is not a solicitation call. Hi. This is the Credit Card Holder Award Center from Visa Mastercard. We have been monitoring your credit card accounts for the last six months. Congratulations! On your excellent payment history you now qualify for a 0% interest rates on all your credit card accounts. If you have completed this process or not interested, press [3], now otherwise, press [1] now to speak to our qualification department and complete the process. The qualification process can be completed in a few minutes... [short pause while I don't respond] Goodbye."

The robot states, "This is not a soliciting call". Where I grew up, the call is exactly that, a soliciting call. I wish the Government would get some balls and end these people's business.

Urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rates, please consider this your final notice press the number one now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate or press the number 3 to discontinue further services. Thank you, and have a great day. Bye.
