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!!!!
this is a credit card phishing scam, report them to RCMP Phonebusters line. ALSO I IMPLORE YOU - NEVER, NEVER PRESS ANY OF THE DIALING OPTIONS - OFTEN THIS INITIATES A COMPUTER PROGRAM OR A BILLING CHARGE! JUST HANG UP, OR BETTER YET - BLAST AN AIR HORN IN THE PHONE....THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE THAT! :)
Mine as an automated voice asking if our company wanted to update our info on some Google assit thing. Couldn't understand what exactly was said since the recording was screwed up. I pressed 2 to not be listed.
Got an automated phone call at my place of business. Identified themselves as "Google 411 Directory" and wanted us to give business info. to be displayed by them.
360-722-5908 (washington)

Called from this number saying that they will lower my interest rates.
Chase down to 6 %
citi bank 9.9%
Said that banks offer them different rates due to their different programs.
Also said that i didn't have to give any information out, just tell them that I wanted to be enrolled.
They were going to send out documents for me to sign and return. Also mentioned to close my credit card accounts to not to get more debt accumulated.
Their phone was an internet computer phone with a bad connection. then I was suspicious.
I asked for the name, and the man said that their company name is "Debt free lifestyle today"
started to laugh because I wasn't up for his scam.
left a call back number 310-568-6007
wasted 10 minutes of my time.
