Funny, I've heard this EXACT same scam call at least 10 times in the last five to ten years. The only difference was mention of a gov program which provided an incentive to 'stimulate' the economy by giving people more 'on-hand' capital (??) they don't seem to know what that means!
They continue on to tell you this is your very last chance to take advantage of this valuable opportunity as there will be no further offers from them! Then they gave me the option of pressing one for "speak to an operator or pressing two to be removed from their active calling list! I didn't click on either & just hung-up.
The only thing which I can say really jumped-out at you about this call is the age. You can hear the recording is old and crackly and just sounds like something you'd hear playing in the background in an old sitcom.
Of note is that it came-up with the number above but when I dialed the number back to see who I reached. Every tine I tried I got a busy signal however, about three minutes after that I got another automated call offering the same deal to lower my interest rates.
God Bless all!
Stay safe!

Hello again,
Briefly, we're on a family plan & 3 of the 4 #'s on the plan are close to sequential. The only one who didn't receive a call from them is my husband & he has the one # of the 4 which is totally different! He's also the only one who is not on the DO NOT CALL list & actually gets less junk calls than the rest of us do.
Also people don't seem to be aware the do not call list only works on telemarketers who are in a legal telemarketing business. It is of absolutely no benefit what so ever in stopping scammers or illegal schemes or number harvesters etc., who hide where they are calling from, they hide behind another companies legit number or somehow use a number which is not in service.
We've been receiving calls from this number for the last week and a half. First my phone will receive a call from them then right down the line until all three have received the call. We don't bother clicking one or two to get off their list or anything. I try not to pick it up when the number comes-up. I believe they said to call the FBI on this as they are always getting new numbers and the scam goes on. I guess they're right because I recognized the voice on the recording immediately and it's at least 3 to 5 years old. I think it's one of the first of this kind of call I ever received because I remember thinking boy are they stupid I don't even have a credit card at that time.
Good luck and watch out for this one. They gotta be pretty slick if they kept this going for this long.
God Bless
Maegi
