NEVER answer a phone call (mobile or land line) from a number you do not recognize- if it's important- the CALLER will leave a message. These SCAMMER/SCUMBAGS WILL NEVER LEAVE A MESSAGE

It is the "Rachel from Card Services" interest rate scam. They want my personal information like social security, credit card, bank account numbers. They try to make it seem like they are from my bank. They have been calling me for at least 6 or 7 years. Maybe there are some different companies doing scams. It is all the same to me. It is probably the same people doing all the calling for all the different scams. Drug addicts? Maybe some of them are. But why give them an excuse? I think they are just cold-hearted, ruthless criminals who want to steal your money. Sometimes they make the phone ring once, sometimes three times, sometimes twice in rapid succession. Sometimes they leave a message, sometimes they don't. They call all day long from many different numbers. If you accidentally pick up, just hang up. Don't press some number to be connected or to be put on the scammers don't call list. You only verify your number to the scammers. You can also report them to FCC.gov or  DoNotCall.gov.  

Right from this website - #14 in the list of ways you can be scammed over the phone:

14.Call Forwarding Scam: You may receive a call or message where the caller, requests you to dial a 2-digit code preceded or followed by the * or # key (such as *79 or 72#), and then another phone number to claim some prize. This procedure programs your telephone to forward your calls to another number, possibly a toll or long distance number. Scammers can then call your number, be forwarded to the number you dialed and place calls that are billed to your home telephone number.

Maybe this post was from a scammer trying to get you to forward your calls to a scammer's number. Area code 773 is in the city of Chicago, Illinois.

We've been receiving the same stupid message now for the past year. "This is your second & final notice….. Blah blah  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…" I haven't been able to stop it. I'd like to take a phone and shove it up their "YOU KNOW WHERE". Guess we just have to keep blocking their numbers. Eventually they will give up...
