Credit Card Rate Reduction
To reduce the interest rate on my credit cards. I've discussed this with them before and they tell me I am not eligible as I do not carry a high enough balance. So I ask to be removed from the call list.
What To Do When You Get an Illegal Robocall; http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/robocalls
1. Hang Up. Do not press 1 or any other numbers to get off the list.
2. Consider blocking the number
3. Report it at http://www.fcc.gov/complaints
4. Report it at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
Register your phone numbers online at http://www.donotcall.gov or call (888) 382-1222 (must call from # you want removed).
When I receive a call from a new number I put it in my contacts list under Scum Suckers and assign it NO ring tone so at least after the first call they don't bother me anymore (I have filled all of the numbers in each and am up to Scum Sucker 47 now). Some phone companies will allow you to block a limited amount of numbers, this is only a whack-a-mole solution however it is the only one I can offer.
The automated message was a female's voice and was rather fast speaking, making it rather hard to write down everything that was stated in the message. The message was made to imply URGENCY in acting on lowering interest rate of credit cards. Bits and pieces were:
"Hi this is Ann from account services... with good news... Effective today ... Federal Reserve has just... stimulus...can reduce interest rate to 4.9% ... Need to respond immediately ... Consider this your final notice... press 1 now to speak to customer service agent to lower your interest rate."
There was NO option to "remove my number".
