Robocall - "This is Rachel from Cardholder Services..."
 
I've had this robocall 3 or 4 times in the last month....starts with the recording - "This is Rachel from Cardholder Services...nothing is wrong with your card". That's when I hang up.

Googled this and found it is a gimmick to get you to switch credit cards. "Rachel" has made 2.6 BILLION phone calls...doesn't matter if you are on do not call list.

Here's an article about her:

Federal Trade Commission Cracks Down on 'Rachel from Cardholder Services,' But She Keeps Calling | Moneyland | TIME.com

Just a heads up if you get the call....hang up immediately.

Wait until we get clloser to Election Day. That's when we will really be bombarded with robocalls. All because politicians have exempted themselves from adherence to the do not call registry.

Rachel told me to push 3 if I did not want to receive any more calls.

I got that call and hung up on her - aggravates me to no end when they solicit me on my cell phone. I paid for that time - don't bother me!!!!

I picked-up the phone and when Rachel started talking, (computer generated voice), I hung up.

Usually, I don't pick-up the phone unless I recognize the phone number.

These people are a nuisance.

Did pressing #3 work? We get the call too but have never listened long enough to hear that part. If it works I'd try it. Tks.

pressed #3 and someone came on line. Said to please remove me from your call list. Guess what? Still as many calls as before so like others I hang up or don't answer.

I also got the call from Rachel. Hung up real fast.

Pturner 07-06-2012 07:14 PM

Although I usually don't answer unknown calls, I've mistakenly answered a time or two and gotten this call. I hang up so fast as soon at hearing computer-generated voice that I know more about the call from this thread than I ever knew from answering the call. :D

She keeps calling us too even after I pushed 3 and told them to take me off the list . They just use a new number to make the call from.

Of course the politicians have exempted themselves from adherence from the do not call registry. It is for political purpose. Is there a politician who would opt not to keep the health care plan he currently has? Political purpose!

Oh no. Rachael is in The Villages too! Guess we can't move far enough to get away from her.

Haven't heard of Rachael , but over in North Palm Beach we keep getting the recording from Olin of Great Vacations.

If you have Verizon for your cell phone provider, you can block up to 5 numbers at no charge. I believe you can do the same with your land line.

sandybill2 07-06-2012 09:02 PM

Rachel called us tonight. Usually get a call about once a month from "her"-- we always hang up immediately.
