I just got a call from Heather with Account Services. Heather is an automated voice prompt. She had an offer to help me lower my credit card interest rate. I could press 1 to talk to a representative, or 2 to be removed from the calling list.
I pressed 1.
Why? Because when she called the first time, around the 1st of Feb. I opted out by pressing 2. When she called the second time, on Feb 15th, I opted out by pressing 2. (Yes, I have started keeping a log of the telemarketers that call, and the times that I request they stop their calls.) Today when she called, I had had enough. I pressed 1 and was about to quote chapter and verse from donotcall.gov on their being subject to a $10,000 for failing to remove me from the call list. I had just gotten started with talking to the rep, when he said "I don't have time for this. Just shut up." and then he hung up on me.
Apparently, I'm not the only person that has had problems with Heather before.
Not that any of you need reminding, but don't give out any personal information or credit card information over the phone to someone who calls you.

I've been getting these calls for 18 months. This is a phishing scheme.
I've created a blog where I'm trying to collect as much info on them as possible seeing as my (and many others) complaints to the relevant agencies have done nothing.
If you could add the numbers they've been calling you from, or any other relevant info I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
They blocked the numbers, so there is nothing I can add to the list.
Sorry.
