Received call from this number on my cell phone. Spoke to a representative who refused to tell me the name of their company or what credit card company they represent. The representative became belligerent when I asked how they got my number. I reported the call to www.donotcall.gov. My cell and home phone are on the do not call registry.
IMPORTANT - ANYONE RECEIVING THIS PHONE CALL NEEDS TO REPORT THEM TO WWW.DONOTCALL.GOV.
The more complaints, the earlier law enforcement can shut them down.
I got a call from 253-246-8586 yesterday (10/20/11) which showed up on my caller ID as unknow from Kent WA, and got a recording, "to stay on the line regarding my credit card, I hung up". A few hours later I get another call from 253-405-5748 (unknown Tacoma WA), from a guy name Jake calling about my ad in Craigslist about my Japanese Maples that I'm selling for $15. He said he was interested in buying the virdis, I told him I have one left. He asked what time do I close, I advised him I don't have a store this is something I do on the side. He said, well I'm going hunting tomorrow morning and I'll stop by tomorrow. I advised him I work full time, so I gave him my sister's addr, instead of mine, which is 2 blocks from the Police dept. He said he just moved to the area, and he said, I know exactly where that addr is at." I found it to be odd, since I just got a call from "the scammers" earlier and then he calls for a tree. He is suppose to meet me at my sisters at 5pm today, I'm bringing my 6'5" big brother "Damian"....just to be on the safe side.
If they say they are MasterCard and Visa right there they are lying they are two completely different companies. Also they have no authority over your interest rate, only your bank can change that.
