I just received a call stating that they could lower my interest rate - red flags went off when she asked for the pin on the back of my card. I immediatly called my credit card company and they explained that there are scams going on right now stating that they can lower interest rates - he also explained that this is legal due to the fact that people are giving them all the info that they need - with doing this there could also be a fee from $800 and up - by giving them your info is concidered authorization for charges. Please beware!!!!
Got a call from this number. Erica wanted to let me know that I should not be alarmed, but it was about my credit card services, visa ,master card, american express. I hung up. My mistake was answering the callat all, because it was a number I did not recognise. Please, people, if you do not recognise the number, do not answer it. Too many scams and crooks, it seems, are out there.
I finally called back, it's an automated service (not surprised). However, they do offer you to be placed on the DO NOT CALL list by pressing 1, which I did.
They advise it can take up to 72 hrs to remove your # from their system. We'll see what happens.
