Robocall from "Lisa" about lowering my credit card interest rates to as low as 6%. Yeah, right. I'll bet you can do that right after you sell me the Brooklyn Bridge. I really hate these crooks.
What can we do about it? Don't press any number to 'speak to a representative' or to 'remove your number' because you're only confirming that your number is real.
Add them to your phone's address book under SCAM or block the number if your phone has that capability. Last, but not least, report each and every scam call you receive like this to www.donotcall.gov.
They cannot do anything about these crooks unless they know about these calls. Report them here -and- then report them to www.donotcall.gov.

I dialed 1 to speak to operator, to remove my name from the list. I used my best Indian accent, talking to a guy from India. As the conversation developed, he informed me that MY VISA card had thousands of dollars charged against it. Unfortunately for him, it didn't. He tried to get my credit card expiration date for verification purposes. I told him the year, he asked what was that? I said the year, then he wanted the month. I told him for my verification purposes, he needed to supply me with it. He tried to balk at it, but finally gave me a month. WRONG. I then hung up.
I can see how older individuals can get scammed, using these tactics.
I will continue to use my Indian accent when dealing with these fools!!!
Same expereince, the caller said he was from Orlanda, Florida and was seeking to gain my credit card information. THe repeatedly said he was calling from Visa and Mastercard. I told him, "You know you can never be sure who you are talking to so if you will give me some information to validate you I will give you my information. Can you give me your physical business address?"

I report these to my credit card company as well as the Attorney General when I receive them.
