Yes, I think it is Premier Bank. I received a credit card statement stating I had an outstanding balance . . . and I don't even have an account with that bank! I wouldn't get a credit card with a $200 annual fee! It is a scam.
I have found the most simple method is to not answer the phone. I don't have voice mail or an answering machine, so they eventually get tired of nothing but ringing and quit calling. I have my home phone simply for internet and the occasional emergency when my cell phone is unavailable.
i dont have a account with them ,,,when i have taken the call they ask for DR Akins i am not DR Akins this person has gave out my number to there kids schools there banks anyone they dont want calls from ,,and no matter how much you tell them they got the wrong number they just keep calling i just got a call as i was doing this ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,JUST STOP THE F__ING CALLS
Here's a few things to keep in mind. When you call back and get a disconnected number message it could be one of several things which is, they could have a message set to say that "the phone is no longer in service", and then you may have a spoof trap which is when a company calls they send a false number or a number that really not in service to your caller ID. That cost a lot of money to do that though.
I use to have a premier bank card. Paid everything off and closed the account. This was over a year ago. I looked online for there number (800-987-5521). So I called. Apparently they do not have my new number on file. They have my old cell and my previous work number and I have a zero balance and a closed account meaning I don't owe anything.
So I asked them about this 314-333-3493 number that keeps calling me. They say that they do not call from any numbers from are code 314 or use any traps or fake messaging systems. They say about 89% of the time if they call it's from a 900 and they call because somebody isn't paying there bill. I have a hard time believing that they don't use a trap or fake messaging system, after all it's a credit card company. I still have to wonder who is calling me because First Premier doesn't have my new number.
I do know that 314-333-3493 is in service though. The reason being is because usually if you dial a number that is no longer in service a message would tell you and then it'll automatically hang up. If you notice the message repeats itself if you call this 314 number.
