These people are thieves. They just have some information of you from some websites that you previously made purchases, but they want to get the rest of it to get access to your bank account.
DO NOT give out any info of yourself or any family member.
Got a call from number 231-337-2142 to my cell phone. Lot of loud nose and laughter in the back ground. Guy asks for me, then says he's calling to confirm an order that I'd placed using a visa credit card with the last four digits of xxxx. These were my digits. But I've placed no orders. Still loud noises in background, hollering and laughing, when I asked him what? He hung up on me. I called the number back it gave no business name. Just, Hello you have reached order confirmation department. We are trying to reach you to confirm your recent order. If we are unable to reach you, it will not affect shipment of your order.

***DON'T STOP REPORTING THIS 231-337-2142 #*** I reported this number yesterday to the Federal Trade Commission and the Texas Attorney General's Office. If you want to report it go to http://www.ftc.gov/phonefraud and to your states Attorney Generals Office. I told this company to stop calling and when they kept calling I told them I have already reported them and that it is only a matter of time before they are caught. Hope it stops them! Good luck to all.
Just received that same call. Didn't answer it, but called the number back and got the same message as tarheel!!! I hope they don't have my cc information. I haven't ordered anything either.
This number called my cell phone four times within 4 hours today. I didn't answer the first three calls. They never left a message. I also called the number after the 3rd call and got the same message as Tarheel. I left a message (pressed "0"), telling them to stop harassing me with their calls. When the phone rang again, I answered it. Similar story that Tarheel received, citing the last 4 numbers of my credit card. He asked me if I'd watch my mail for free gas coupons. I told him "NO", and to stop calling me because I'm listed on the National Do Not Call List and they have NO RIGHT to call me on this phone. He hung up on me.
By the way, this is the second instance within a week that I received a call from the "credit card company" about the same account. My credit card company does not have my cell phone number. Therefore, I find this very disturbing because someone stole the information.
This number called me too. The person referred to my name and asked if f I had the credit card ending in the last 4 digits of my bank card which they named. There was alot of background voices. They then said they couldn't hear me and disconnected. I have seen this number before on my cell phone in the last month. Seems like it is a scam. I will be watching transactions on my card very closely. I won't call them back which might confirm they reached the correct person.
