Received an automated call about my "credit card interest rate" to be lowered. Said "press 1 to be connected to a rep" so I did. When the person (Dale or Dell I believe he said was his name) came on the line I told him this was a new phone number for me (it's not) and asked who he was trying to contact. He then disconnected the call without saying another word. DO NOT GIVE ANY ACCOUNT NUMBERS TO THIS, OR ANY OTHER, INCOMING CALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION. IF IT IS ONE OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THAT YOU DO BUISNESS WITH THEY WILL HAVE THAT INFORMATION ALREADY AND CALL YOU BY NAME (he didn't). In my opinion it's a phishing scam to steal credit card and/or bank information. I have been in finance for over 20 years so this is not a novice opinion. They have a convincing approach, if it truly is a scam, so be careful. AGAIN, DON'T GIVE YOUR INFO TO THEM. LET THEM VERIFY YOUR FULL ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN RECEIVING AN INCOMING CALL FROM THIS OR ANY "BANK".
Just received a call from this number. Didn't pick up (thankfully!), no message left. Thanks to 800notes and to all of the above who posted on this number!
I didn't answer, since I didn't recognize the number. I called back private, and the operator answered with the message, "the number you are trying to call is not in service." BLOCKED.
Just got a call from this company or whatever they are. I'm not sure what they want, seeing as how I'm a college student. But they're probably calling because my financial aid was just updated and they wanted to steal information. Didn't pick up and no message left. I always avoid numbers I don't know just as common practice. If they leave a message, I call back.
