    Beware of this Scam

    According to a newly released survey by the Federal Trade Commission, more then 25 million adults were victims of fraud in 2011. Most bought fraudulent items through the Internet using email, social media and auctions sites. But telephone scams came in a close second. Of course, there are ringtone scams that hit your credit card with recurring fees, the bogus-lottery scams, the fake-check scams and the Nigerian 419 scam. But, there's also Rachel.

    Rachel usually says something along these lines: "Hello. This is Rachel at cardholder services calling in reference to your current credit card account. There are no problems currently with your account. It is urgent that you contact us concerning your eligibility for lowering your interest rate. Your eligibility expires shortly so please consider this your final notice. Please press No. 1 on your phone now to speak with a live operator and lower your interest rate. Or press No. 2 to discontinue further notices. Thank you."

    So who's Rachel? And what does she want?

    "These are robocalls. In other words, you pick up the phone and you don't hear a human, you hear a prerecorded message. Usually they're claiming that they can reduce your credit card interest rate substantially and because of that you'll be saving thousands of dollars. Advances in technology have also made it easy for them to do what's called 'spoof' the caller I.D. information that the consumer sees on their telephone. So it might say the name of your bank or it might say cardholder services and trick consumers into thinking that they are talking about their own accounts when really that is not the case," says Kati Daffan, a staff attorney in the Federal Trade Commission's Division of Marketing Practices.

    If you manage to click No. 1 and speak with a live human, he or she will try and see if you are eligible for the scam. If you meet certain criteria, you will forwarded to the next person in the chain, which is someone who will make charges to your credit card and claim that they will reduce your interest rates. But that doesn't happen and consumers may lose their money, get locked into a new credit card, or face recurring charges.

    This is one scam, caller ID says it is CONSUMER SVCS and they have multiple phone numbers. 205-409-0895 robotic message says she is 'Hi, this is Beverly', but the rest of the message is word for word what Rachel says.

    All these calls are from CONSUMER SVCS as identified by caller ID. But they have different telephone numbers.

    Pressed # 2 to be removed from call list. Does seem to work, not always right away. But as you can see only 1 number is still calling. And if you have a brain you will Press 2 or ignore the call. It is a SCAM!!!! DON'T FALL FOR IT.
