The recorded message gives the option of speaking with a live person, but no option of removal from their calling-list. I choose to take the option of speaking with a person, so that I could better-identify the caller.
This company calls claiming an affiliation with your credit card company and having an offer to reduce your credit card interest rates. When I asked with which credit card company they were affiliated, they could not (or would not) say.
At the end of the call, I told the person that they are not to call this number again. They appeared to comply and said "I've added you to our do not call list." I commented, "You shouldn't have called it in the first place. I'm already on the Wisconsin and Federal 'do not call' lists.". The call ended, then.
I am 100% sure that this company is using a random- or sequential-dialing list and has no direct affiliation with my credit card company. I have never given this particular telephone number to any credit card company.
