Got another call from 360-474-3977 (prior one on 8-03-12 also left info here). Strange that they would use the same forged phone number with the caller ID as "HCFA". This was another recorded message from "Card Services" which said
"This is your last call before we close out your records for the year?" =(It is August Dummies).
"We have sent you other messages and this is your last one" = (LIE=It will never be the last one with them).
"You have to have at least one credit card with $3000 balance." and to press 1 to speak to a person.
Which I did. The male with broken English asked if I wanted to "lower my Interest rate".
I responded with "Lower my rate." Guess I should have said "Yes," instead OR he read the comments from
the guy on Friday 8-03-12 who I gave the "SCAMMER HORN" to 'cause he hung up with out saying a word.
This is what I do. I press 1 and act real enthused when they come on the line. They ask how much I owe and all the same ?'s that is the norm for these scammers. All info I give is totally fake. When they finally get to the BIG question, "Now give me your cc# so I can verify your information" or some such nonsense, I tell them I'll have to get it from my wallet and that I'll be right back.
I put the phone in the bathroom, shut the door and just leave it there for awhile. I do this every time they call, whether it's on my landline or cell. Let them waste their time waiting for me to come back with what they think is going to be a big, fat, juicy, credit card number! LOL
