I kept getting this number on my phone I.D when I wasn't home, tried to call back but an error message would kick in. Several time when I was home the call came in and I answered it. It was a recording to cut my interest rate, I pressed the number as instructed to not get the call anymore (not interested), but they kept calling ever so many days. Finally next time the recording came through I pressed 1 to speak to a person because I "was" interested in reducing my card rate (even though I wasn't interested at all - just wanted to speak to a real person). Before I could get "please put me on your do not call list" out of my mouth, the guy hung up on me! That happened twice when I pressed 1 to speak to a real person. The next time instead of asking to put me on the "do not call list", I actually told them I was interested in their plan and let the guy give his entire "speech" and asked him to repeat it because I was sort of confused (plus I don't think English was his first language, and I really couldn't understand all he was saying). After the 2nd time through he asked me how much all my cards total owing, and as soon as I told him, zero at the moment, "HE HUNG UP ON ME!" It's a scam, people, it's a scam.
