Claimed they knew my roadside assistance was up for renewal and wanted to "verify"
information. I don't verify anyone's information to an unsolicited call.
Yes. I recently used AARP Roadside Assistance--a different number though. I receive a renewal notice via the US mail *once* a year--not via phone. Not nearly time for me to renew. BIG TIP: if anyone calls you and starts asking for ***any*** personal information, hang up. Not legitimate.
I was 99.9999999% sure this was another scam call, trying to get my credit-card information. I was correct. The woman had my name; she had my address; she knew when my service contract with AARP Roadside Assistance is up. She wanted to give me a big discount if I renewed today. Nope. Then she tried a slightly lower discount. I told her that I would wait as AARP only does business via US mail and not via phone. I began laughing. she broke the connection immediately.
