The card services scammer's recorded message should say "press 1 now to speak with one of our friendly customer services agents who will be happy to rip you off, in order to earn their commission to pay for their drug habit".
This number is currently being used by the drug-addicted "card services" scammers, who call us, pretending to be associated with our credit card companies, in an effort to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers so they can rip us off. People that have given these lowlifes their card number have suffered severe financial losses. Beware of these scum, and warn others before they are cheated!
Got a call a few minutes ago. Had a heavy oriental accent and said that his name was Jim ... must be one of the Jims from Thailand or Bombay.
I just play on, leading him to believe that I was deep in debt with high credit card balances and interest rates. He asked me if my zip code was (our previous zip code, we moved out of that zip code last year). I told him yes, and stated that he should not be asking for such basic information.
He asked me to confirm to him the last four numbers of my SS# .... I reaped his A.. and told him that I was not going to fall for the scam. I also told him that the information that he has for me is wrong.
One thing that has cut down on these types of calls for me (if the calls are actual people calling) is the recording I have on my answering service. At the end of my personal recorded message, I have added, "If you are a telemarketer, be advised that your call WILL NOT be accepted at this number". It's amazing how few calls I get since doing that. Hope my suggestion helps.
Another one of the spoofed numbers used by the "card services" scammers in their attempts to rip us off. Google my name to learn how to stop their annoying calls, while also having some fun!
