I have received two calls from this number in the last hour, including one just a minute ago. I think they are the same overseas scammers and/or so-called Collections office for Chase. I have been getting a lot of calls from 1-800-424-5004 over the last couple of weeks and it seems like they are using this number as well.
As with 1-800-424-5004, this is an auto-dialer and if you do not say anything when you answer the phone, the auto-dialer will hang up within about 3-4 seconds. if you say "Hello", then some Indian-accented person will come on the line within a few seconds.
I have read hundreds of posts on various boards about the 1-800-424-5004 number and have read conflicting information about whether it is actually Chase or not. Some have said yes, others no. There are even conflicting stories from Chase raps themselves. Not to mention that in 2006, 5 data tapes containing over 2.6 million customer names were lost by Chase. That, along with so many people starting to get these calls about a month after that happened, makes me very, very leery.
If you call back and can actually get through, the automated system (which does not identify itself) will ask you to enter in your whole account # and then a person will come on the line and ask for your FULL SS#. This is what makes me lean more towards these people being scammers, as a legit Chase rep would have that information right in front of them after the account # is entered.
Even if it is Chase, harassing people at all hours of the day or night is not going to endear people to pay any sooner.
I am also getting calls from 1-800-424-5004 and 1-210-586-0006. I get about 5-10 A DAY!!!! Thanks to this posting I am ignoring them but I am wondering if there are any other numbers they use?
Two calls this morning before 9:00 am - no message. I didn't answer either call. As a rule I never give out my SSN - I usually say - "You should have it in front of you - is there anything else I can verify" and legit people ALWAYS say "yes, of course".
I'll ignore them I guess. I don't even have a Chase CC! :)
