They are calling about credit cards: an electronic voice say that we are having an issue with our credit card and ask us to choose 1 or 2 (one is for talking to a lawyer...)
I received a call from this number today. My answering machine picked up; no message left.
Thank to all the others who've taken the time to report details about who it is.
Looks like YET ANOTHER instance of the LOWER YOUR CREDIT CARD INTEREST RATE scam. I received that same call from probably about 1 dozen DIFFERENT telephone numbers over the past year.
Keep in mind that these are just SCAM ARTISTS and that they possess technology which allows them to mask (FAKE OUT) their true phone number (i.e. telephone number SPOOFING). I would suggest that you do a CALL TRACE (*57) immediately after receiving such a call and then making a police report for fraudulent activity. In doing so, your telephone company (Telus in my case) can release details of the call to the police - including where it originated and the caller's REAL phone number.
