The bad news: Card Services calls aren't going to stop anytime soon.
The good news: You can retaliate, reduce the misery, and even have some fun.
RETALIATE:
Waste these turkeys' time. Keep them on the line by acting like an interested prospect. Give them bogus data, including a combination of two different credit card numbers, scrambled Social Security digits, and a ZIP Code that's slightly off. Note: providing a credit card company's real 800 number is key to prolonging the call.
After they call the credit card company, you can give them the same credit card info as before with two of the numbers transposed, thus causing them to make a second verification call. Or you can respond, "Guess what ... H-O-O-N-N-K-K [from a $6 air horn] you've been PRANKED! Call back tomorrow for more bullshot." Now they're the butt of your joke rather than you the victim of their harassment.
REDUCE THE MISERY

Please consider it your CIVIC DUTY to waste these basturds' time. Keeping them on the line as long as possible runs interference for your fellow Americans and helps minimize those who get scammed. PLUS you can have FUN in the process!
Rachel of Credit Card Services (CCS) is the FTC's enemy number one: 200,000 fricken complaints each month. Probably costs us taxpayers millions per month to process. CCS has scammed your fellow citizens out of $30 million dollars. UNCLE SAME WANTS YOU to help slow down these harassing crooks.
Here's a protocal to get you started. (NOTE: four months of not ever answering calls from numbers I didn't recognize didn't stop this nuisance. If you're getting these calls, you have been DRAFTED.) So PLEASE DO YOUR PART:
PHASE I:
1. Play along, acting like an interested prospect. Give them fictitious data, including perhaps a combination of two different credit card numbers.
2. Be patient and respectful to reel them in. Speaking fairly slowly and clearly since these scammers will hang up on you for whatever reason (if you're chewing food, if you put them on speaker phone, if there's a slightly bad connection, etc.).
3. Upon request, I give them my credit card company's real telephone number so that they can waste their time calling while I hold.
Once they've put you on hold, YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES: a) Put them on hold to keep the line open and go on with your day or, what I love ... b) Wait to deploy the protocal's second phase.
Typically they come back on the line and want to review the info I've given them.
PHASE II:
4. Sometimes I give them the same credit card info with two of the numbers transposed, thus causing them to call my credit card company yet a second time. They often hang up right after calling the credit card company again. HowEVER, if they're dumb enough to come back on the line (tee hee) ...
5. Then I let 'em have it (and this is the FUN part). When they say that my info didn't work, I respond, "Well maybe that's because H-O-O-O-O-N-N-N-K-K-K [from my air horn; the best $6 I ever spent] maybe you've been PRANKED! So please (now in my Cookie Monster voice) call back tomorrow if you want more bullshot. Eat shot and die, you predatory human garbage!"

My 73 year old mother recieved a call from this scam credit card company, They told her
They could lower her card to zero percent but needed her card info to do thatl
For her, she gave her info to them because she believed them, You can guess the rest.
Yes they stool all of her money off this card, She found this out when she went to fill her car
up with gas and the card did not work because it was maxed out, I had to meet her 3 hours
later after I got off work to fill her tank with gas.
Its amazing that here in the Usa that there are scam companies CARD SERVICES that have the nerve to call a person,lie to them , ask for your credit card to lower your intrest and get away
with it by get your personal info on your card, then use info and steal your money off your card, This scam company card services has an automatic phone calling system that calls you and when you answer a live person comes on the phone thats tries to get your credit
info, you can block thier number but you will end up getting another call and another and another call from still yet phone number, so them use lots of phone number to call from,
Not one of these phone numbers can you call back to, if you try and call them back
it says busy or the number is no longer in service,

I answered and it was automated offer for lower interest credit card. It said something about not worrying because my current account was fine which sort of implies they were posing as my bank. They said press 1 to speak to a live representative or 2 to stop further notification... then I hung up.

I listened to entire message then selected "1" to speak with a "representative". When the rep came on I asked her to kindly remove me from her caller list - her reply was a nasty "NO" and then hung up. When I hit re-dial the "mailbox" was "full".

this person called me (Indian) saying he was calling from Card Services and offered me a lower credit card interest rate for Capital One. He asked me to verify my card number and then he asked me for my debit card and my checking account number! When I declined to give this information he hung up on me. I then called the Fraud Dept at Capitol One and informed them of this call and I was told that this person calling is not in any way calling from Capitol One and was told never to give this information to anyone over the phone!

I get at least 2 of these calls a day. It's a high interest credit card saying this is your final warning to take advantage of the government stimulus package. I wait till a actual human gets in the phone & I tell him to take me of their calling list but never do. These calls hog my answering machine & I'm so sick of them

automated message about lowering credit card rates, and I pressed 1 to tell them to take me off their list, and as soon as I started speaking to tell the "live" operator, she hung up on me. I called the number back, and it said the number has been disconnected...

I answered the call from #216-795-8741. It was an automated call from what they said 'card services' saying I could qualify for as low as 6.5% interest rate on my credit card. It said press 1 to accept this and talk to a rep today! So I did. A lady answered and asked right away, 'Is this a response to accept a lower interest rate?' Immediately I said, 'No, please take me off your calling list.' The lady hung up immediately. I tried to call back and the number is no longer in service or has been changed.

SCAM ALERT! This person named Paul called two days in a row on a company credit card he claims is past due. Contacted the bank directly and they assured the card is not past due and has a total of $0 owing. Paul implied that he was a representative of the bank that issued our card and he did know the last four digits of the card. This stinks to the high heaven of a scam, so I would warn anyone receiving a call from this number to divulge absolutely NO personal information to this person. I called the number back and it went to an automated system from "Card Services" (very generic name that also makes me quite suspicious) and when I entered Paul's extension it went to his voice mail. As I said before, I sincerely believe this is a SCAM so please avoid giving any info to them!

Repeat calling me daily. Automated message saying can lower my credit card bill. I pressed 1 for agent and was on hold. A guy came on. The line and I asked him what was the name of his company. He said "Card Services". I asked with who. He stated Visa M/C and Discover. I asked him again what is the name of your company that they are supposedly sponsoring. He said "Card Services, we are calling to get you a lower rate or consolidate your credit cards that are over $4000. I told him I am on a National and State Do Not Call List and why are you calling me repeatedly hanging up on me each time. He hung up on me. This needs to stop. This is a huge scam and needs to be uncovered and charged with phone harassment.

Go to the major credit card weiebtss and look at the applications for student credit cards.I believe all CCs check credit reports, but it varies on the minimum requirements needed to get approved. Few will lend you money without checking if you are trustworthy.Your first CC will likely be a low-limit, high-interest one, so your credit-building task might be a slow one. Ask at your bank about getting one through them. Remember, if you get a CC, try not to carry a balance on it and DON'T BUY IT IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT. CCs are magic-money-cards, they are meant to make money for the CC companaies.

Robocall: "This is your 2nd and final call about your credit card. To lower your interest rate..." First time they called I asked them to put me on their do-not-call list but before I could finish the sentence they hung up. They called again today. I asked who, specifically, they were trying to reach. They gave the name of my father, who does not live with me. I told the that and again, in mid-sentence to ask them to not call again, they hung up. I have received approximately 5-6 messages on my answering machine from them as well. They will not stop calling. I have reported them to the FCC and FTC and I have placed my number on their automated do-not-call list and the National do-not-call list. According to several telemarketing complaint websites, the number is associated with a company in Michigan, LUCRE INC. 4011 Plainfield Av. N.E. Grand Rapids Mi 49525 Ph: 616 361 0128. I called this company and they are aware of the problem and said these people are "hiding" behind their company and are not affiliated with them in any way. The wonderful lady I spoke to said she has even received a called from them herself and when she confronted the person on the line, this person told the lady to go to ****. This company has received so many complaints on several websites and I assume that hiding or "spoofing" their number behind the legitimate company is illegal. Please, please investigate these people!

These jerks claim to be affiliated with my credit card company. They've called numerous times and give me no option to opt out of calls. I pressed 1 and was connected with an incredibly rude operator who was mistakenly under the impression that they were immune from an FCC complaint. DO NOT ANSWER CALLS FROM THESE PEOPLE!

This # displayed with "Card Services" on my caller ID. It was the pre-recorded message from "rachel from card services ...no problem with accounts... but it is my final notice to lower my interest rates". If only it was actually the 'final notice' .... I've received at least a dozen calls from as many different numbers, with the same recording, same voice, same everything. I've started reporting every one of them to the FTC/FCC. It's a scam, phishing, spoofing and illegal. Yes, my number is on the Do Not Call list and has bee for years.
Oh by the way, the last call I got was from 905-000-0000 (which is an area code for Ontario, CANADA, and it displayed "name not found".
