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.
I got a phone call 06/22/12 from (253-236-2179 customer SVC), when the phone was answered I heard my answer machine say leave a message, the caller hung up, I am curious what that could be? earlier call similar number 06/06/12 from (253-382-9909 Lower Interest) bet that is the same outfit.
then (06/14/12 starting 12:20 pm, 2:22, 4:24, 6:25 pm beaumont TX from 409-291-5191) a man with very poor english insisting on sending me a medical card, then saying ok? I think he was trying to get me to say yes but I said if you say so, then he says to verify tells me my name, phone number which he already knew, and my address I said that is correct, then he needs my bank account number I said no you are not getting my account number, he says you have to give me the account number to verify or you can't get the card, I told him then I don't want the card you are not getting my account number that is my business and hung up, at (7:21 pm another phone call Las Vagus, NV from 702-520-2374) I think it was about the same thing so did not answer.
Beware of these pieces of crap calling and saying they'll lower the interest rate on your credit cards. I asked what bank they were from and he name all the major banks. Yeah, RIGHT!
Stupid scammers woke me up! My cell phone number was issued in Eastern Time, but I now live in Western Time. But the worst part is that my fico score is so low that I can't get any credit cards.... How are they going to save me money on credit cards that I don't have?
