Recorded message; stay on line & person comes on. Lot of call-center noise in the background. Mostly unintelligible, about reducing interest on Visa or MC. "Can you tell me what credit card you have?" I said, "You called me; don't you know?" Said he wasn't from the bank, but from (unintelligible) to offer a lower interest rate on Visa or MC (he said this line about 5x during the conversation). Strung him along for a while, asked about Amex or Discover card; he recited the same Visa/MC line; didn't I have one of those....? ... put him on hold for a few minutes; he actually waited... Picked up again & said I didn't think we were interested. He started in again; didn't I want a lower interest rate?, etc. I hung up.
We have a telezapper, so these people are not using the predictive-dialer equipment that the telezapper works on :(
If this is a blatant steal-your-info scam, how come there are so many of them & not being caught, & how the heck could a 3rd party offer you a change in interest rate if they're not the company you got the card from anyway?? Not logical?
Bollocks.
