Hung up as soon as I picked up. We have a loan from Countrywide also, but not shopping for a refi. I received a notice from Countrywide several months ago that a former employee had stolen personal info for many Countrywide customers. Countrywide provided a free subscription for credit check due to that incident. Maybe this is some how related?
I am looking to purchase my first home and I contacted countrywide a couple of weeks ago. Since I see several people stating they had contact w/Countrywide, I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that's why they're calling me. Same thing, call and when I answer hang up. I don't even know if they heard me say hello. I didn't hear anything on the other end, just when I said hello no response.
