FTC Hangs Up On “Rachel From Cardholder Services”
We’ll see how effective this bust is. Post here if you get any more calls of this type.
Yes, as recently as yesterday.
Rachel has been replaced by The FBI reports that… calls. Gotten 4 in just the past week alone.
I usually hang up by the 3rd word.
Haven’t gotten that one yet. What’s the pitch?
I answered yes, but it’s actually Heather who has been calling me lately.
Yeah, Heather is Rachel’s sluttier friend.
I’d do her.
How many of you got suckered by the first cardholder call? I thought my Debit card had been compromised. I stayed on hold a couple minutes before hanging up. Then called my Bank.
After that I hung up on Rachel and her friends.
I hear she takes plastic.
I don’t think I have ever receive this type of call.
I hear she takes on all comers.
as late as this AM - I have about 20 of thier numbers on my blocked list - they always find another
Haven’t received one from Rachel lately. Now I’m getting bombarded by calls that say “Wait for a message from CBE Group” which appears to be some form of debt collection agency. The biggest problem is that it’s on my cell phone which is a number hardly give out. I don’t know how they got a hold of it.
I can’t say I ever got any calls from her or her company, but I did get a few from some guy who had a very important message for me, from a company that sounded a lot like “IRS.”
I definitely have gotten one of these within the last week or so. It’s always been Rachel, and I’ve gotten at least 20 calls from them in the last year.
They probably are robodialing. They don’t “have” your number. They are just dialing every number is a block and make all sorts of threats.
OTOH, you wouldn’t believe how “helpful” people are when some stranger calls and asks them to give out someone else’s phone number for vague reasons.
Got a call from Rachel a few days ago. Got a call just yesterday telling me the FBI reports that every three seconds a home is robbed. Waiting for Rachel to offer me a home security system along with lower interest rates.
I seem to recall a bunch of calls with the ID “Cardholder Svcs” or something, but 99% of the time I don’t answer unless I know the person calling, so I never got to hear Rachel’s dulcet tones. Nice to see the feds cracking down.
I haven’t in a while. I think it may have been “Lisa”, though. Perhaps she’s Rachel’s Canadian cousin?
I got a call just yesterday from who I assume is Rachel. She told me that she had an important message regarding my credit card account. She told me that I needed to call another number immediately to discuss how I could pay lower interest on my credit card debt.
I have no credit card debt. But I assume that this is the calls you’re referring to.
