Just got a call from this number offering lower interest rates on my credit card. No specifics as to which card (of course), which was the second red flag; the first was the greeting -- a plain "hello"
Call about my credit card and lowering my intrest rate. Must not have responded for them fast enough because the automated lady hung up on me.
Says phone number was from Fresno, CA
As soon as I heard "Credit card services" I know it was a scam.
I pressed "1" just to be annoying.
Lady came on; I've heard her voice before in connection with the same scam at another time. Mid-range, sounds somewhat elderly, definite Russian/Slavic/Eastern-European accent.
I answered in a "Grandpa" voice, pretended to be interested. She mentioned a bank I don't use so I told her, yes, my credit cards are with them. She asked for the expiration date. I got interrupted by an incoming call on the other line, couldn't continue. Too bad; I was just warming up.
I suspect she was going to ask "to confirm" my credit card number so they could start siphoning off of it.
I figure if I'm obtuse enough, they'll give up on calling me (better way to get on their "don't call" list...)
Whatever you do, don't give them any real information.
