Called around 8:00 pm, caller id "card services", press 1 to hear music and someone claiming to be in Orlando, FL, asks of I have more than 3K in cc debt, with interest rates over 11%, in good standing, have not missed any pmts or been late with any pmts, then they need to verify that information, that is when I tell them I am at a friends hose and don't have any cards with me... they seem skeptical but advise they will try back at a later time. Can't wait to talk to someone again. I have a speaker phone and assemble parts for machines here, I can keep working while they ask questions, helps to break up the day, Unless there is a really great song on the radio, I love to string them along as far as I can... I'm trying to find id info for someone who would actually qualify, I'd like to set up a fake account... more later.
I think I had the same lady as you did.. she called me the same word.. its ridiculous ! And you are correct, they even called before-during-and now after Hurricane sandy hit us so badly.
I got a call and the woman she's representing the company "account assistance". I genuinely think it's a bogus name. She asked if I have a credit card of $3K or more. I said "yes", then she asked how much I owe. I declined to answer - since I don't know her. She hung up. Just pass this up to some nosy broad who was fishing for any info.
Same thing has happened to me. As soon as I said I don't have a credit card, they hung up on me. They have called my cell phone as well and where they got the number, I have no idea. They and others are on my "do not call" list, but they continue to call. Does anyone know how to get rid of these people. They are very rude for hanging up on people that don't own credit cards.
