Warning! Non political!


hello,,nothing is wrong with your current credit card accounts, however due to your excellent credit history, we are able to offer you a chance to reduce your current credit card percentage rate to 0 to 1.9%...this is a limited time offer, so act now! press 1 now to speak to one of our credit ...bla-bla-bla..press 4 to discontinue notices...press 4,,,and a salesperson answers just as if you pressed 1..ask who they are, or any info on them,,they hang up,,just to call again later. now,,,this co. operates out of several states, under many different shill names,,Acct. Management Assitance,,FInancial Ladder,Nova Financial,,many more..They are in violation of the federal do not call regs.,,the no-auto-dial reg., and have 100s of lawsuits pending in various states and in every state they scam have a "F" rating with the BBB...They do everything possible to keep you from finding out who they are,,blocking the caller I.D. , changing names etc..well, i for one had enough and after some digging and research, and using craigslist to find a recently released former employee,,,i got some numbers to call them back...the neighbor kid got 10 bucks to call and wait for a live answer, then hang-up and call again, {about every 20 sec.} for 2 hrs...they finally blocked that number,,,so i gave him one of my cells,,and he was off again,,,another 100 or so calls,,they blocked that number,,,,after 25-30 calls from my other cell phone,,,they called me. {they know who calls} and asked me what i wanted,,,i told him,,"CALL ME AGAIN!" FOR EVERY CALL I GET YOU WILL GET 200 CALLS DURING THE DAY TO ALL YOUR NUMBERS!" he said he would remove my numbers from the list and not call again...2 weeks,,not a call,,,and before i was getting their illegal calls sometimes a couple times a day for going on a year!

Here are their current numbers,,,i will just give the toll-free ones..888-583-1956, 855-462-3833, 855-581-9821, 888,415-8903,,,,,,call them often,,call them regularly,,call them now! worried about them claiming harassment? Attny. generals from several states have been trying to get them into court for a long, long time...the scam co. knows it would be a bad move...it worked for me...give em a call,,or hundreds of calls...turnabout is fair play...

I hate those bastards myself.

we are not alone...the former employee i got from craigslist told me how they work...first they want to know if you have at least 8k in credit card debt...i could never get past that because as soon as i said no, {i dont carry a balance} they just hang up...no wham-bam thank you mam, just disconnect and call you the next day..the former employee told me, if you say yes, they explain they can reduce bla-bla-bla, if still interested,,the "closer" comes on and bla-bla-bla "do you have a curent card with at least $1500.00 available? if you answer yes,,for $1495.00 they will reduce or eliminate your high interest bla-bla-bla,,whats you card number? and the 3 numbers on the back? all this,,,and you still have no idea who the hell they are...and many, many people fall for it...they chg. the card $1495.00 and send you a packet on how you can contact your creditors and ask for a rate reduction..he said they have a money back guarentee,,,but good luck..the contact numbers the chumps are given are to voice mail, and no calls are ever returned....this co. is a parasite feeding off people who can least afford it,,putting them further into debt...and the operation is HUGE!

give em a call, its free,,let them know your thinking of them...

There's a dead-giveaway to the auto-dialing system. It's that you have to say "hello", twice. I usually hang up the minute I've said hello the second time, and someone comes on the line (usually mispronouncing my name). But sometimes - just for fun - I'll engage them in effort to see just how long I can tie them up. It works best, if you come across as really dense. That part's pretty easy for me.

Wait wait! I like the "push-pollers" too! They work for say....Candidate Jones. So, they'll ask a whole series of questions intended to get you liking Jones and hating his opponent, Candidate Smith. I like to play along with their pro-Jones meme, all the way through 'til the end when they ask who I'm going to vote for. Then I tell 'em, Smith.

 

[oicu812]

all the others gave up when asked to stop,,this co. just kept calling, never answering the hello, and disconnecting...there are many blogs about this one co..they read like a whos who of horror movies..they just act with impunity..hundreds of boiler rooms with one scam....too bad,,,they should put all their effort into a legitimate endeavour...the guy from craigslist said they still owe him $450.00..he came to work one day,,and it was empty,,,they had moved on...one step ahead of states attny general...some states have enacted laws where you can sue for harrassment, thus the many lawsuits pending if someone can nail them down...i understand the ones working for most legitamate co. are just doing their job,,even though its annoying,,but acct. mgt. assist. are theives and crooks, stealing from everyone around them and moving on like locust...

I don't get many of these calls anymore, no land line in house, only cell phones. But I used to have a 2-line phone and I would act interested and tell them that I was on the other line and that I would wrap it up and be right back. Then I wouldn't go back. They'd stay on hold about 10 seconds and then hang up.

So, you essentially pulled a "Kramer with the cable guy" ....lol.

Lol....if I had the time I might call them 100 times....but I don't.

Suffice to say, if/when they call me I tell them to remove my number from their call list or they'll be hearing from my attorney, and after that....the FTC.
