I've caught a SCAMMER!! I have a payment due in 2 days. I've been receiving calls all morning. I've read on here that it's a collections call. I called this number and the foreign representative asked for all 16 digits of my card. DEAD RINGER!! You shouldn't EVER have to tell anyone calling from a legit credit card company all 16 digits of your number. As soon as he asked I told him flat out that this was a fake call, that I shouldn't and wouldn't be giving out all that information. I then hung up on him. I called the legit number for Credit One collections listed on their site. Though the lady was foreign she only asked for the last 4 digits of the card number and last 4 digits of my social. BEWARE FOLKS!!! I made sure all was current and it was.
Scammers will spoof the number to a legitimate company to try tricking victims into either making a payment to them or getting personal info from them. Never trust a call you were not expecting and always call the number on the billing statement when in doubt.

I'm on time with my payments and they called me before its due.... It's credit one bank. I got smart with the foreign guy saying I rather have someone call me from a toll free number and not a private number. He got all angry and just hung up on him. I got over 10 calls within 3 days and its highly annoying. I'm ignoring them!!
