File a fraud alert with the credit reporting agencies and also get your credit card number changed. I think these people are credit card thieves. Since they can spoof your phone number, they can call your credit card provider and make it look like the call is coming from your phone. I think all they need is the last four digits of your credit card to access your account. That is one racket, asking for your card number is another. If you reported your card stolen, they should not be able to do anything with it and hopefully they will get caught when they try to buy something with it.
My new approach is to pretend interest and, when they ask for my credit card information, tell them I have to go find the credit card. Then I let them sit and wait while I work on the computer or do something else. In a couple of cases (after they've waited several minutes) I tell them I am on the Do Not Call list and never had any interest in their so-called service.
Received call on my cell phone - Recorded message said it was about my credit card account, but there was not a problem with the account. Said it was URGENT that I call them. I've gotten similar phone calls many times on my work phone as well.
How do they get away with this when I am on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY???
I got the call too, am curious so I answered. It was a recording claiming to improve my credit card interest rates. I don't have a credit card...... I can't remember the name, but it was some generic company name, not a real backing institution. It asked to press one to speak to someone, so I did. Some lady answered and I asked what the company name was and the phone number. She immediately hung up.
I've gotten several calls from them, but I have Mr. Number hang up on them. I just noticed they called at 9:09 pm which pisses me off. They're not allowed to call after 9 pm, right? Losers!
