They're trying to steal credit card information. The recording says it's Card Services calling and offers to lower the interest rate on your Visa or Master Card. If you press 9 to speak to a representative, she stumbles through her script. They can only "help" lower the interest rate if the payments are up-to-date and the card is not maxed out. She will ask for the current balance, credit limit, expiration date, security number, and finally the card number itself. I wonder how many people actually fall for this scam?
Someone needs to do something about this number and the scum behind the calls. Fortunately, I didn't speak to a person but am tired of having to live my life knowing scum like them are getting away with hurting honest people. For the love of God, we have the technology to find them, let's find them and prosecute them before they take another person's identity.
