the number is a telemarketer call. you can call it back and it says it will take your name off the list but needs your social security number? sketchy?
So, I called it back just to see what my options were. I got a call from the number, saying that my credit card rate could be lowered blah blah blah...
Anyway, the options they gave when I called back were, 1) remove your name for 5 years, 2) put your name back on, 3) remove your name permanently and 4) to hear details on the program. However, no matter how many times I pressed "3" nothing happened. Imagine that. So the automated woman said, "let's try again." Of course, it didn't work the next time either and she said, "I'm sorrry, but I'm having trouble completing your call at this time. Please try your call again later." How very convenient. She then directs you to their site. You're right, totally sounds like a scam...you don't need my SS# to take my name off of a call list. Just don't call my number. Simple.
