Call was to an area code 605 landline. Caller ID name read "CENTURYLINK" . Because the caller ID name reflected a legitimate company, I answered the call just to tell them they had the wrong number, if nothing else, because I don't have any business relationship with CenturyLink.
Well, the call was nothing more than maybe a slight variation of the old Card Services scam. There was a recorded robo-woman (can't remember the name she used) telling me something like there was no problem with my accounts, but there was only limited time remaining to take advantage of being able to lower my interest rate to 6.7% (or some similar rate), that I should consider the call my final offer, and to press 1 to talk to a representative.
I missed a call from 406-628-4733. ID said it was from Laurel, Montana. No message was left. Now I see where several people have received calls from this number.
just got it on cell phone but no id. been getting a lot of long-distance calls on cell lately and most are listed on 800-notes--
what a pain and why/how did it start?
