SCAM ALERT Claimed to represent Visa, Master Card, and Discover (claim made more than once) and said he could tell me which credit card I have an outstanding balance on, then required personal information including my Social Security Number which I wouldn't give him. He then accused me of giving him the run around and told me my correct zip code, and said he has ALL my information right in front of him, so I told him he was the one giving me the run around because I don’t have an outstanding balance! Definite illegal practice by not telling me the real name of the company he was really working for.

No typos here, these are the actual calls I got today, if anyone is skeptical that these are all coming from the same organization, this is pretty compelling evidence that they are. More detail and numbers that have been bombarding me with calls are listed in my posts here:
Second call in the last month from these morons. I already know they are a scam. I have changed my tactics to making suggested remarks (from other posts here) to them after pressing 1. What they do isn't nice so I don't have to be nice anymore. Blowing a whistle, using a boat horn, and also making cutting remarks. Today I told the guy who answered he had a small you know what and hung up.
