I received 3 calls today from this number and I was informed that this was a collection agency that I had authorized $1200.00 to lower an interest rate on my credit card. In trying to refer this caller to my lawyer I was told that I would be sent written documents to send myself and I a recording was played attempting to mimic my voice giving my address. I said I am calling the FCC this is extortion and that I was calling the police. The guy who was arrogant and self assured and condescending previously hung up and did not call back. Of note, he called back three times previously.
I got the same call, they were tricky on how they got me to give info. They made it sound like they were from credit card services (old navy visa card comes from there) and that because i have been paying on time they were gonna drop my rate to 6%, they asked to verify number starting with 4479 and to give expiration date to verify that I was WHO I WAS...
then before i knoew it they were asking about my other visa cards, they new my balance (which is scary) these were all visa cards, they made it sound as if they were gonna lower all my visa card rates. theny they brought up other cards and i told them that i was on a cordless phone and the battery was dying, to give me a number to call back. they gave me 866-505-6695 and to ask for another rep.. they would need 40 minutes of my time... after 30 minutes they called me back i told them i was trying to find them on other line and they hung up.. i cancelled cards that i gave numbers and expiration date to be sure.. i reported to fcc as well
