We received a call - at dinnertime of course - with a vaguely threatening automated message that we had failed to respond to all previous calls" and that this was our last opportunity to correct a serious credit card problem. It was important to press 1 to speak to a representative to avoid damaging our credit.
I knew it was a scam from the message, but pressed 1 to tell them we're on the "Do Not Call" list (evidently, that doesn't mean anything) and ask to be removed from their list. The representative answered saying that he understood I wanted to learn about credit consolidation. He never gave the name of the company, and when I started "No, we're on the do not call list and..." he hung up on me.
