Just got this call and like some of the others "Caller ID is DEP, PUBLIC WKSi" ts a women on the line saying this is the last attempt for us to reduce our Credit, like what account or what are they talking about? It's a SCAM for sure...I tried calling back and line is busy of course.
They've called numerous people and they all report the same thing:
Caller offers to "REDUCE YOUR CC INTEREST" but have NO CLUE what card(s) you may or may not have or what bank they are "FROM" and in some instances they just start rattling off random bank names - CHASE, CAPITOL ONE, etc.... Hoping you have one from these banks as they are the most popular ccard companies out there.
One caller said they had the first 5 numbers of her card - that's easy - ALL BANKS HAVE A UNIQUE 5 DIGIT CODE ""bank identifier" this number "id's" the issuing bank and EVERY BANK uses their code for EVERY CARD THEY ISSUE!!!
HANG UP and report the number to your STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL!!! Don't give this scum the time of day.
