Received a call from a man saying he would lower my intest rate on my total amount on a Citibank Visa and Mastercard account that I had because of my great credit history, no late payments, no missed payments... and then said I would have to verify my expiration date on my card in order to provide me this information, didn't specify the card he was referring to either. I then said, I don't give this sort of information over the phone and I need to call you back to confirm your location and business identity. He said, you can call me back on the caller ID. I said, what is this number, his voice became louder, seemed nervous and then he said, "you will not get this reduced interest rate if you try to call back", I said, "you can't be offering a legitimate reduction if you that is the case. He was obviously angered by my comment and then said....
"'are you calling me a lier?, you are a lier! "(in an indian accent) I said, "by that comment you are obviously NOT a professional working for a major credit card company and I am calling the authorities and reporting you and this number now! " I then hung up and googled the number which was 2532362179.
We receive a lot of scam calls from the Washington area and this caller has called before. We see the caller ID and then just ignore these people since they never leave a voice mail.

Got this call around 10 AM MST while I was at work on my cell phone. I did not answer it as the number was not in my list. Not sure how they get cell #s, but evidently they do. Too bad, I don't answer unknown #s!!!!
I just called the # back from my work phone. "Thanking you for calling our Marketing Promotion Department. If you would like your number added to our do not call list, press 1." I just waited on the line to see if the call would transfer to person, but it didn't.
