I got a text a few days ago, looked it up (area code) and it said it was a scam to get you to call the number back, then they charge you the phone charge.

Mine was from 284 code, sorry.

I think all '900' numbers are pay-per-minute calls....with a minimum charge.

anyone keep gettin the phone call saying this is your last chance to lower your interest rate on your credit card. If so press 1. Then you press 1 and they come on and i start to cuss them out and they hang up.

They call from a different area code every time.

Why havent these people been shut down yet?

we get at least one of these a week on our answering machine....i can`t remember that last time anyone in this house answered the telephone before waiting to hear the answerer first....


the utility company keeps calling with their "peak rewards" program(you make around a hundred bucks a year by letting the power company cycle your air conditioner on and off during periods of peak usage).....

well,our company was cycling people`s air conditioning off for periods of around 8-10 hours at a clip during the recent heatwave when temps were regularly in the 100`s.....:mj07: :142smilie

i can`t believe that folks fell for that b.s. to save $100 a summer....

f-ck them and f-ck that...:lol:

so much fricking phone spam....,,

Ageecee... I get 2 to 3 calls a day from them, as you said different # each time. I answered it a couple times & punched in 1 to get a live voice. Told them to stop calling me & they just keep hanging up.
