These people are nothing more than common criminals with with a complete disregard for the law and they have no reason to be civil. They ask for up front fees and charge your credit card without performing any services.

Civil action by the FTC against such criminals is totally ineffective. These criminals need to be charged with Federal Felonies and subjected to significant jail time. All of those involved know that they are violating FTC regulations. The FTC prohibits unsolicited calls for any kind of debt / interest rate reductions which require up front fees. The FTC levies huge fines, then rescinds them based on inability to pay. The FTC settles for the minimal cash on hand, and enjoins them from future "telemarketing". The criminals sign off, then go right back to business. The entire operations are clearly criminal, intent to defraud, etc, and should be dealt with in criminal court and not by civil actions.

Got two calls today from two different numbers.
I have left a similar message on every phone number these **** use.
***** THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.*****
They have been calling me for about 2 years now. I have a record of the times they have called, and it has grown to over 150 calls, from about 30 phone numbers. No matter how many times I have told them my phone is on the do-not-call list, which they are breaking the law on. I have filed complaints with the FCC and the FBI, and I tell them so. That will usually stop them for a few days, until they start using a new number.

***** THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COMMIT FRAUD AND THEFT *****
They want Your personal information, but they will not give me any means to verify that they are a legitimate company. Not only that, they will lie to you on how they got your number. That can mean only one thing. ***** THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS ***.

File a complaint with the FCC and the FBI. These people need to be found and shutdown.
