Thanks to Lou Morlando of Colorado Springs. He told me about a strange call he got today from (305) 356-9999. The man on the other end told Lou he could help him lower the interest rate on his credit card. Lou responded by saying, "Great! Which credit card?" Then Lou says... the man simply hung up.

I did a little detective work and found the call comes from Miami, Florida and a group which apparently sells everything from toner cartridges for your fax machine to help restoring your credit. I found others who say they're being harrassed... getting 50+ calls from this number... and still others who were told... they owed money on a payday loan... and had to pay up or else!

I tried calling the number several times myself ... but kept getting a recording which said, All circuits are busy." Later the recording was, "Please try your call later."

Bottom line, don't bother with folks like this. If you need help lowering the interest rate on your credit card... call your credit card company yourself. No good can come of working with a sketchy group like this.

If you get a suspicious call, email, or mailer... let me know. I'm more than happy to check it out.

Got a call this morning at 8:30 for my elderly father-in-law who lives with us and luckly was asleep at the time. The guy on the line with a thick but seemingly put on Spanish accent said my father-in-law had won millions in a Madrid, Spain Lottery and that he needed to varify iformation with him. I could either wake him or he could call back. What time did I expect him to be awake? I told him that he would not speak with him ever that he would take our number off of his calling list. He said he would just keep calling back. I said that he would just be getting me then. He said that that was not right and that he would be calling the proper authorities. I told him. OK, he could do that. It was fine with me. He hung up.
