Called my workplace and said he was calling from Prodigy Systems, I asked what this was in reference to and he said "Merchant accounts". He left a call back number of (214)442-1701. Which is a different number that what appears on the caller ID.

Just got a call from this number. "Paul" from Merchant Services wanting to verify my business info and let me know a representative would be in my area tomorrow afternoon who wants to speak to me about increased fees for checks (I don't take credit cards currently). I basically told him that if I had any increased fees, my bank would let me know. He them told me that because I was a "small business" my bank would not let me know and that they hire companies like his, blah, blah, blah. I hung up on him. No idea if a rep is going to show up tomorrow but since I work out of my home, I simply will not answer the door. I did call my bank and they assured me that yes, indeed, if anything changed on my business account they would let me know. Some days, I just shouldn't answer the phone!
Person from this number called wanting to know if we accepted credit cards. I told him no. He sounded like he was still in bed, or stoned! Then he went on to tell me how we could save on the fee that we get charged for credit card transactions. HELLO......I TOLD YOU WE DON'T ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!!
Went on to say that a rep would be in the area and would be stopping by my business. I told him that if they show up that I would call the police. I hung up.
