Be careful!
I was not going to renew my membership this year with AAA but I got a call from an agent leaving a voice mail that he can offer me a discount. I called him back at 1 877 222 4543 x4726. Alferodo offered me $5 discount. Only with that condition I accepted my renewal because I am unemployed at this moment and have to watch out for my expenses this year. I gave him my credit card information, he said he is going to charge me $43 and we both repeated the charge on the phone, couple of times. A week later I saw on my statement that he charged me $48, the full amount. I found this unbelievable and a scam….
Keeps calling but does not leave a message, from other posts I suspect it is AAA as I recently let membership expire and they don't take no for an answer
Shows up as AAA Auto Club on caller ID (Phone #714-966-3078) and caller claims to be with AAA indicating I should call back at 877-222-4543 since my membership had expired. Thought it was strange since the message was on my landline and I generally only use my cell phone for contact info. Plus I was pretty sure my membership had not expired. Checked the website and sure enough my land line is not on my contact info and my membership has not expired. Obviously I will not be calling them back.
I recieved a call from 714.850.5111 and the guy told me he was from AAA, and that they tried to renew my membership since it has expired, but my credit card got declined and he asked me for a new credit card. I asked him to give me the number of my card and he read the correct last four numbers of my credit card - it was mine! Thankfully, it was an older card! I told him I would call him back and the call back number he gave me was 877.222.4543, ext. 4726. . The crazy thing is my AAA membership doesn't expire until next year! I knew something was strange about the call, one, AAA NEVER calls me, and two, I don't have auto-renewal set up. I hope no one gives away their credit card numbers without verifying the caller.
AAA has a toll free number that you can call for both service and issues with your account on your membership card. Use that number to contact them and check on the status of your account. If you originally used your credit card (the old one) to pay for membership, they may have kept it on file thinking that perhaps you did want automatic renewal.
