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.
It won't. The people who are calling you don't care about call lists, and asking them to stop will just confirm for them that they're dealing with a live number. Just hang up when they call - which they'll do again, frequently.
