Thanks for the heads up.... I'm alway Leary of calling any 800 number. Since they pay for the call they can just capture your number and sell it to 1000's of scam schemes

This is interesting. A woman's voice explains in a recorded message how this is a 'service'; it was garbled but I thought she said it was called CallHouse, She claims to represent callers and can help stop unwanted calls. I left message saying the 'card services' scam was being undertaken and referencing her number and asked her to call to confirm she is legitimate.

Looked up 205-642-8808 and saw an entry tell me to call 866-246-7196 and leave my number and the caller's number, but it sounds too fishy. As Jamie says below a woman's voice giving instructions. But it doesn't ask for money or say what the name of the legit operation is. Totally unbelievable. Sounds like they are collecting info for others to me.

Read THE TRUTH! http://goo.gl/5erVX http://phonewiki.angelfire.com/reversereport.html#POAmerica about 866-246-7196 *Unlisted or Unregistered number* RoboCall Scammers. Caller ID reported ''Customer Servic'' Location: Philadelphia Suburban Zone 25, PA or Bryn Mawr, PA Landline Provider: NETCARRIER TELECOM or CONNECTICUT COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION - PA Switch Office: PHLAPADKDS0 or PHLBPAMYDS4 Home Loan Refinance Gypsy SCAM artists s****ed CallID to FRAUD DataMine Phishing for ANY personal information! They know all about you and that you're on the National Do-Not-Call List because it was the SOURCE of their call list! Protect yourself! SAY NOTHING! 2 second silence is recorded to gather intel on you, then all data is saved in their database and used to pry more from you the next time they call. And they WILL call a***n. Answer no questions. Don't even verify your name! Tell them NOTHING, record the call and only ask questions like the street address and name of their company. Say only ''Do not call. We are registered on the national do not call list. Each violation will be prosecuted at $500 penalty. DO NOT CALL!'' then disconnect and dial *57 to send a call trace to law enforcement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malicious_Caller_Identification Remember to follow-up and file a formal police report. BEWARE! ''Carol'' and ''Russel'' posted on many RoboCall complaint sites like http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-866-246-7196 to call or email [email protected] would remove you from their list or other lies. If you contact them in any way, such as ''Take us off your list'' opt-out online, by sending an email or by dialing 1, 2 or 9 then you are instead validating that a human ear is responding to the Turing Test and placed permanently ON their ****ERS LIST! It's just another trick to appear legitimate. Nowhere on the site is there a telephone number or address or even a way to engage their services = RED FLAG! Call type: Scammers/Fraudsters
