Feb 20: Recording "Kelly" at "credit card services" scam

"Hi. This is Kelly at credit card services. I'm calling with an important announcement about your credit card account. This is our third attempt at reaching you. Our records indicate that you have been overpaying interest. Right now, we have you qualified to reduce your interest payment. To as low as two point nine percent. And cut your monthly payments in half. If you want to cut your monthly payment, lower your interest rate, and consolidate to one monthly payment, press one now. Again, this is your final chance to participate. So press one now. Or press three to be removed."

So many lies. This recording called more than three times. All those other "final chance to participate" statements were lies.

I pressed one and some music played. Then a man answered the phone and asked if I wanted to be transferred to a specialist. So, I played along and said sure. But, in order to do so, I had to give them a name. He said they were a "third party" and didn't have my name in their "records", so I gave an obviously fake name. So he wouldn't transfer me. I asked what scam they were running, and he said that this was a "promotional call" and they were a company that helped millions of people get out of debt. I asked what "promotional call" means and what company he was calling from. He ignored the question about promotional calls and gave an obviously fake name for the company. I asked for the phone number of the obviously fake company name, and he spewed my phone number back at me. With all the lies in the recording and the lies from the phone lackey, it's obviously a scam.
