I got FIVE phone calls from these people today. Initially, a pleasant but pushy Indian-sounding woman called to tell me she could lower my credit card interest rates, and then asked me a series of questions (are you trying to pay down credit cards or are you still using them? is the debt under or over $5000?). When she did not acknowledge me saying "I'm not interested" twice, I hung up. She called back three times in a row. I picked up on the third one, asked to be taken off of their calling list, at which point she said "alright" and hung up. A few hours later, a different Indian-sounding woman called offering the same thing, to which I replied "you guys already called me today and I asked to be taken off your calling list". She said "okay" and then hung up. I don't know if this is a new racket or what, but it's super annoying. Considering my cell phone number is on the National Do Not Call Registry, them calling me (especially after my request to be taken off the list) is illegal. If I get another call from them, I am going to ask to speak to a supervisor and see if I can find out how they got my number.
