Do not answer this number, or any other number you do not recognize. Just picking up the phone can put you at risk for scams. Scammers will note that your number is "live" and either sell the list to another scammer, or try to use social engineering to get you to give up your personal information. The NPR article that sfritz referenced in the comments is a good reference to learn how these people operate. If someone legit wants to talk to you, you will either a) already have their number saved and know who it is, or b) they will leave a message. Please share this information with seniors and other vulnerable parties who might fall victim to these scams.
I got the same call on my cell this morning. I knew right away that it was a scam. They never mentioned any company name, just that I could lower my interest rates. Does any law enforcement agency follow up on these scammers?

received a call from 551-233-0121. Did not know the number so did not answer. No message left. Looking at the posts I assumed correctly that it would be a scam.
