Received a call from this number. I did not recognize the number so I ignored the call. It did not say a company name, but it was the same thing, when I called back it was a busy signal.
Just got one of these calls on my cell phone. Caller ID said 718-476-7661 New York. Same recorded message about my generic "credit card" and offering a low interest rate. When my bank calls about a credit card, they always identify themselves, so this seemed like an obvious phishing scam. I hung up.
Received call from 718-476-7661 Caller ID showed the name N.Y. CITY POLiCE Dept, so I answered the call. A recording from " Card Services' immediately started a speel about how I was eligible for a lower interest rate, then stated press 1 to speak to a representative now. I pressed the 1 so I could tell them to remove my number from their call list. What I got was a man who sounded very Arabic or Muslim and wanted to know if I had a credit card. I told him he was arrogant and a rotten person to be using the NY City Police Dept as a cover for his scam, ESPECIALLY after what they did to N.Y and the Twin Towers. pretty rotten. He said , What , who am I talking to? I am talking to the police or what? I told him he spoke lousy English and hung up. Made a police report locally, and then tried to contact NY CITY POLICE, Internal affairs Div to notify them of this scam and their being used in the Caller ID Tag. Local police here
said they would also call them. Someone has to stop this. Its WRONG. and you should report it and then call 212-741-8401 to inform NY PD of what is happening. Maybe the Attorney General can do something about it , or homeland security.
