I keep getting calls from this number about a home depot account; I have called back asking them to stop because I don't have an account. Finally they gave me a number to call Home Depot to be removed: 1-800-877-0232. When I called they said they couldn't help me because they didn't have any record of my number. This seems very suspicious.
I got a call from the same number about a half hour ago. I didn't answer, but looked up the number on Google, which led me to this site. So out of curiosity, I called the number back. A man with an Hispanic accent answered. I asked who it was. He said "Mario," if memory serves. He then said he was calling about my Home Depot account. I reminded him it was me who called him and he didn't even know who I WAS, much less that I have a HD account.
I further told him Home Depot isn't headquartered in Kingsport, TN. He said he was in Dallas, TX. So I asked him to explain why a 423 area code, followed by the number and "Kingsport, Tennessee" came up on my readout. He had no explanation for that, but he "offered" that if I'd just give him my HD account number, he'd be "glad to look into it for me."
Oh, I'm quite sure he would!
I told him he'd better stop with the scam, and that I was reporting his number to the police. It was clearly obvious he had no affiliation whatsoever with Home Depot, and he was stammering all over his words and had absolutely no clue what he was doing.
Use caution when dealing with these people...I only hope they get caught before they get away with scamming too many innocent people.
I received one call from them today at 11:55 a.m. (Sunday). I called them back, and demanded the persons name, their address, and the name of the company. On my caller ID it said "Citi Commerce". I recently found out that Home Depot, as well as Sears, have sold their credit accounts, whether open or closed, to CitiCard, which is the most ruthless company out there for collections efforts. They do not care if your account is current, and they will harass you several times a day, every day. I have reported them to the Attorney General in the state where I live about unfair collection tactics. No. 1, CitiBank nor Sears, or Home Depot, have EVER notified its customers the accounts have been sold to CitiBank. Citibank is supposed to notify you and give you an option to leave everything alone, just the way it always has been, and if you do then your account (if you have one) will automatically be closed until it is paid off. If, however,you use your card/account AFTER being notified then you fall under the new guidelines set forth by CityBank. BUT, Citibank hasn't notified anyone, nor has Home Depot or Sears, but CITIBANK has changed your payment arrangements anyway, which in my opinion, is totally illegal and they are not supposed to be allowed to do it with out your knowledge and/or consent. They do it anyway. Report this to your A.G.'s office IF you see your info or payment arrangements have been changed, etc. I take it that those of you that have received calls know nothing about any change so that speaks loudly for itself.
they called @ 8am on a saturday morn. I do have a home depot card n it may or may not be overdue, either way they shouldn't of called that early. waitin for them to call back to give them an earful.
This is the second time I've received a call from 423-477-6983 and it's the second time I've called them to ask them to remove my number from their calling list. She answered the phone Home Depot collections. I don't even have a Home Depot credit card. I don't understand how they even got my cell phone number.
