Rachel from Cardholder Services is at it again !! ...

Rachel and her girl friends are calling me again....4 calls in two days !!!
 
It's a scam folks. They promise to lower your credit card interest rate for a $600-1,500  upfront fee. They get your money and disappear. DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO TO THESE SCAM ARTISTS>>>
 
Best thing to do is just hang up...If you talk to their rep, they will target you more, if you threaten them, they will call the police on you...JUST HANG UP !!!!!

Is Rachel hot?

Mooch Bayoubill wants to know.

I wouldn't doubt it if she's been hanging out at Sharke's place.

No I didn't go thru it, but I did a search and read up on Rachel...she's got lot's of people mad at her, and there's stories all over the internet about people dealing with that company...thousands of complaints have been filed, but there's not much the authorities can do to stop the calls.

WHAT???!!!!?????


Thousands of complaints?


I would have never imagined there were that many naive people in the world.


BTW, does anyone know how many people initially downloaded and installed X1 (yes, I mean X1... not X2**)?



**John has declared X2 safe to install.

I spoke to Rachel.. and told here what i would like to do with not just the telephone handset, but the entire telephone exchange.. she hung up before i could add the TV..:(

She calls here regularly. You'd think that someone would track these people down and deal with them. Someone like Seal Team 6.

I would tell her right off the bat

"In order to conduct any business on this line,
-- I will need your full name and place of residence address with zipcode (No PO Boxes)
-- and your credit card number, name on the card, expiration date and security code

in order to go any further

Would you like to provide this info NOW for confirmation and a Purchase order to continue?"

 Then just listen to the emptyness on the other end

If they continue tell them to call you back so you can retrieve any info they request then give them the number to your local police department.

That do not call does not work because they ignore that list. Press "3" and hang up. And it probably is some large city crap or foreigners. Between that and political calls, just press "3" and hang up!

registering complaints seems to work for me. 

maybe the government just doesn't like you.

The do not call registry the FTC and the FCC have all been powerless to block/stop/prosecute Rachel for years. There are tens of thousands of official complaints, a few boiler rooms have been busted, but the scammers have not even bothered to change Rachel's name. My phone is listed on do not call, and I hear from Rachel at least 6-10 times a year for years. The calls originate outside the US and the call originator is beyond the jurisdiction of the appropriate agencies, and is apparently a hydra-headed operation that changes its identity when confronted with its illegal activity.

They don't care about the do not call list, they are hustlers trying to get your money. Close one office down and another springs up. Been going on for years.

Like terrorist cells...

I had my home phone disconnected 4 years ago after realizing I hadn't used it in 2 years. I've had the same cell number for 11 years and not a single spam call. Problem solved.

I've been trying to get my wife to do that but she won't because the kids might need to call collect.  you can't call collect on a cell.

I simply use the approach to not answer calls of numbers I don't know. Voice mail works for people that actually want to talk to me. It's an amazing tool, really.

I have a business line and I don't think biz lines can be on the do not call list but I signed it up anyway. I still get some calls and while I do have caller ID...... many will not ID the number or say blocked number.....and since it is a business line, and it might be a caller needing my services, I have to pick it up... but I have no problems putting the handset back down either on a telemarketer or a robocall. 



Our NC state Attny general told me that robocalls are illegal BUT... they don't have time to chase the company behind the calls.   If I'm feeling particularly  evil.... I will ask the called to hold..... or repeat..... Hello?... hello? .... hello? while the other person is yelling CAN YOU HEAR ME?   then I hang up. 



Oh yeah... and I really love the calls that come in and on the caller ID it shows up as "SCAM"...... duhhhhh!
