We are on the Do Not Call list yet “Cardholder Services” relentlessly calls. Of course it’s a recorded message, press “9” to speak with a customer service representative.
I press 9 and when I get a live human I tell them things I cannot post here.
Phone systems should have a password system where if you call the number you have to enter a password to make the phone ring, no password, no ring, hello voicemail.
I’m just not getting any calls where they know me by name. They always ask for a different name and when I say they have the wrong number, it’s the same reply, “well, maybe you can help me.” No one else is having this happen? It’s happened to me 4 or 5 times in the last month.
“Cardholder Services” was the name the scammer was using, and is similar to the name of a company that handles my credit card. I called the latter, customer serivces transferred my to their legal department. I was told that they are aware of the Federal law regarding Caller ID spoofing, and seemed very interested in who was misrepresenting them. I was asked about times being called and the spoofed number, among other things.
