Called on aug 20th2015 in Granby, Quebec, Canada. I was suspicious and he said he was calling from Visa and Mastercard ( probably hedid not know which one I had ). He had a bad accent and offer me reduced interest rate. I hang up knowing it was fraud.
Yesterday, my elderly mother received a call from Scammers calling from 562-999-7024 in Long Beach, CA. They asked her for credit card numbers and social security number under the promise of "lowering her interest rate" on her credit cards. I came home just about that time and made her hang up the call ...they were just about to "transfer her to another department to complete the information." They told her they would call her back later when she returned home. Later that day, the caller ID picked up three calls from 786-247-3444 ... no messages were left. Today, the caller ID recorded 10 calls from the same phone number. Again, no messages were left, but we can only assume they were the "other department" calling to complete the information! The name associated with that phone number on the caller ID is Yanez Maikel. Don't know who this is, but I strongly advise AGAINST answering calls from this number (AND the Long Beach number, as well)!!
