I've gotten called from this number several times as well. Today, someone actually answered when i picked up. They use an automated dialing service that obviously does not work properly. They are credit card refinancing company. They work with credit card companies to lower your interest rate, monthly payments, or total amount owed. If you wish to be taken from their calling list use this number 888-722-5886. The company is called Financial Strategies. I spoke with both a Ms. Campbell and her supervisor
Richard Ransome. I hope this helps everyone that has been bothered by them.
interesting. I received a call last night and today. Last night it was a woman wanting to lower my interest rates however she was asking who I was before she would tell me why she was calling. I immediately felt uncomfortable knowing it was a scam as she did not want to tell me who she was because she said what if I was a random person and she had access to my files she was trying to sound like she was legit. she ended up hanging up.Today I got a similar phone call from a man and I informed him I felt I was being scammed I said I was going to call the ftc or bbb and he told me a co. name that is a legit. company so they are posing make pretending they are from reputable companies. Beware total scam for sure
When I got off the phone I confirmed it was the same # which if you call it is always busy.
I posted earlier....here are some more details....After being connected through the worst auto-dialer ever, I had spoken to a guy the first time they called, he twice rushed through the name of the company (sign #1 of trouble)...he said I had been referred by the credit bureaus to help lower my interest rates (sign #2)....I totally did not believe what the guy was saying, and he was very insistent, borderline rude that I was skeptical of his services. When I informed him that I was ending the phone call, his response was (rudely)..."Fine, enjoy your high interest rates then! (sign #3)" Today I had time so I called my credit card company, explained to the woman the phone call, and she said it is a scam (sign #4). They are phishing for information so they can steal your ID and credit, because they know right now people are trying to do what they can to save money (and the new credit card regulations). She made a notation on my account that I had been contacted by them, and to let my credit monitoring service know as well. I am hoping they will call back tonight (it will be 6 times in 4 days) so I can let them know I am on to them. Beware, these people are NOT looking to help you refinance (and besides, would you really go with someone who has a crappy autodialer?)
