Received a call from this number on my office phone around 6:00 pm yesterday. Fortunately I'd already left for the day. Not the first call from this source.
I received a call today starting with "this is the last call we are making because you have not responded to our emails" etc. When I called the number back it said "invalid digits" whatever that is.
unsolicited call about lower interest rates if you have over 3,000 in cc debt. I waited to speak to someone. I then asked if she was able to view my phone number. She said yes. i asked her to tell it to me so we could verify they had the right customer. She read it to me. I said, great, now that you have it, can you remove it or block it? She said, no I will not since you are a smartass....and she hung up....
now that is funny.....rude...but funny..
Same as the below. Keep receiving unwanted automated voicemails and calls claiming I owe credit card debt and that it´s my last chance to fix this (I don´t, and they keep calling). They never identify themselves and they leave ghost voicemails calling a second time the few times I do answer their calls.
THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money.
