Their phone calls always wake me up when I'm taking a nap. Pains in the [***]! Thanks to "PBL", I called the number and pressed 1 to be removed from their marketing list. No idea where they got my number. I have also been called from the same outfit with 212-660-9874 and 917-391-0668. All three numbers show New York on caller Id which I no longer answer. Should be punishable by law
This is definitely a scam call because they called me a few minutes ago and they even got my name wrong. They have called before and the guy that just called me now hung up when I said your the same guy I talked to before because the guy I talked to before said credit report like credit repot with making the "r" sound. So I knew it was the same guy and a scam.
The "gentleman" from "American Financial Services" with the foreign accent called today with the "free marketing call." He said he had my credit card information in front of him. I asked how he got it and he said "our marketing department." I asked who gave him permission to access any of my information and he said they didn't have that much. I asked who gave him permission to access my credit information and he went back on script with "this is a free marketing call...." When I asked if American Financial Services is licensed in North Carolina, he said "we have locations all over" and I asked for their license number to transact business in NC. He said the corporate supervisor could provide me with all of the information and numbers, so I asked for the corporate address and phone number. He hung up. If you call the 718-450-9212 number back, your only option is to press 1 to be removed from their marketing list. If he calls again, I'm prepared to play along with the call and get more information - cost to the consumer, terms, etc.
I just got this call in California, foreign guy, told me he was from American Financial Services and could see I was having a hard time with my credit score! Really? I have never had a credit card in my life! Cash is the best way to do anything...... When I asked how he got my cell # and what his name was he hung-up! I'm blocking the number and yes in you call it back you can only push 1 for no more calls! I hope everyone turns them in to BBB!
Same thing happened to me starting in October when I had just lost my job. She had an accent saying that my credit report had like 3 negative things on it making it on the low side. And I told her I lost my job and she said well its gonna be about 3000 to begin clearing it up and she's sure I can make some sort of payment to apply. I told her I LOST MY JOB AND I HAVE 2 KIDS NO! And hung up. You know you get a free credit report each year so yesterday she called me again saying my credit was still bad and I told her I'm in a school zone can she call me later. Well I called my credit bureau and they told me I have excellent credit and no negative charges against it. These phone calls are complete bs. Give them no info.
