I got the same call as everyone else from this number. A recording said I could qualify to lower my interest rate to 6.7%. It said I should press 9 to talk to a person who would help me. A real person DID come on the line and asked if a lowered interest rate would be beneficial.
Up to this point nothing had told me what credit card company they were, so I asked the girl who she was representing. She hung up fast.
It was a scam to get my credit card number.
Caller ID said the number was 407-000-4712 which looked phony to begin with. The caller was "Florida". I called the number back and it was a bogus number.

I got a call from them or someone similar on my cell phone. The number was bogus -- 506-225-18783 (note the extra digit). At home I have gotten them from an area code starting with 1. My message was to hit 1 to lower my interest rate. I decided to play along but hung up after being on hold for a minute.
Oh....I feel like a fool! This company called me and had so much info about me already, I thought they were legit! I gave them my CC number. Now I don't know what to do. Call the cc company I guess. This is just making me sick. Has anybody had any actual followup and help from this company? I called their numbers back and got legit answers to my questions.
