I received a call on my cell phone from number: 214-496-2580. They asked if I was "responding to the lower your credit card interest call" -- I instead asked how they got my number. They hung up immediately.
you said:
I doubt this is a telemarketer. More likely to be a phisher collecting financial info from unsuspecting recipients of the call. Possibly someone picking up the new numbers from people who change #s to a VoIP like Earthlink.
my response
i got the same call to my machine as everyone here. i've had this number
for years.
I received two calls from them ("Card Services") in the past 2 or 3 weeks. I also had the same experience with the "press 8" option "was not recognized".
The first girl I talked with got annoyed at my questions and hung up. The guy I talked to the other night...I asked him how me got my information, and he said we were on a big list of people who had a lot of credit card debt. I told him we do not carry balances, and he was like "huh". I said we were on the Do Not Call List and he acted like he didn't know what that was.
