This number called my cell phone twice (5/15, 5/16)
... Automated call says "my MSN account (credit card security something??) has been deactivated, stay on the line to verify information." I do not have an MSN account. This sounds like a scam to me. I would never give my information to someone that calls me.
I got a cell phone call from the same number at 3:36am. It woke my daughter up-I didn't stay on long enough to figure out who it was. I realized it wasn't anything important and than hung up. Who has the ignorant nerve to set up a scam to call at that hour?
Our house phone and my daughters cell phone were both called by this number at around 10:00 PM with the same message that my account with Chessie Federal Credit Union had been accessed by a third party and that I needed to take immediate action. I could tell right away it was a scam, mainly because we don't have any accounts with Chessie. The woman's voice had a prfessional serious "collections agent" tone to. The caller never referenced the account holder's name either. But I played along and selected option 1 to supposedly connect to Chessie's security department. I got another stern warning that if I didn't provide the correct information my account could be closed permanently! Then the recorded voice asked for my credit card number! Unbelievable how brazenly bold these creeps are who are behind these scams. I'm sure they hope to catch one or two naive people who will hand over their info. Why can't these people be shut down? Surely someone is paying for this phone number and could be arrested for what they're doing?
I got a call about 4am this morning from this number. I've tried calling it back but it's a fax number. I've sent a fax to the number asking that they not send faxes to my cell anymore. I doubt there's much more any of us could do than that.
