I was called about lowering my interest rate, which is in itself fishy because credit card companies are never going to do that. And they're never going to call from a non-toll free number like that either. I pressed one to see if I could find out who it was and they hung up.
I just received a call from this phone number on my cell phone (actually called me twice in a month). I didn't answer since it was a # from Minnesota and I am from NY, I also do not know anyone from Minnesota. They left no voicemail so I decided to come on here and figure out if this was fraud, spam, or just an annoying telemarketer.
I also worked for Chase for 7 years. They will NEVER EVER call you and ask for your information. They are the bank, you needed to provide your information to them when you opened your account/credit card so there is no reason for them to ask for it again as it is already provided. Lastly, all banks will always ask you security questions (which you must answer correctly) over the phone to prove your identity before delving into any account information.
Showed up as a "missed call" and I didn't recognize the number. Reverse directory searched via Google and found this site with warnings (and I'm glad - didn't waste minutes trying to call these clowns back). SCAM!
Got a call from this number, 218-833-8060 from Brainard MN. They asked if I wanted to reduce the intrest rate on my credit card. I asked which which banking institution they were with...said Chase and CitiBank ask what credit card information do you have? Caller fumbled about and could not tell me then asked me for last 8 digits of my credit card number so he could check it and determine which card he was calling on and what interest rate he could get me. I told him to tell me my number. He got aggravated and hung up. Big time scam
