The same crap happen to me today and those 2 Indian speaking men are scam artist. I was a fool too in giving them my credit card number but out smarted them by calling my cardholder and canceling out my card. They kept calling my home phone back from 815-687-8018. Harassing me. Then turned very anger using the F word towards me several times. I thought I was calling WalMart benefits but some how my call was interceded to them. It was not WalMart. I also reported this to WalMart Corporate Office. I called my credit card holder and ask them what number or business it was. Didnt have a name but the other number was 866-884-5530 in connecton to this scam. Be-ware ppl! Please!
Well, I called a toll free #, not exactly this #, but a phone # at the end of Hollister.com website, after placing an order w/Hollister, that showed error where I should have recieved confirmation, therefore, I call the C/S # which appeared on that page, the guys answers acts as though he is checking my info, ask for my credit card #, which I ask again, just to confirm, "you are Holliser Right?", they guys states "yes" so therefore i proceed to give my credit card#, however, only for him then to tell me i will recieve all these coupons and bull, and a bonus, which is free for 30 days, im like, "wait, i dont want anything but what I ordered from your website" he goes on to forward me to another guy who wants me to repeat my info, cc# and all, in which at this point i hang up!....Then, they call me back 2 more times, they will not tell me who they are, only that they will be charging my CC this $3.95. Please be aware, i do understand, $3.95 is nothing, well it is, but not alot to argue about, however, I do not want your coupons, or anything, I just want my order from Hollister!
Anyway, please be advised, do not give these ppl your CC, and do not ever give it immediately upon "THINKING" you have called a customer service for any company!
These people are scammist, I would say, due to they will not tell who they are when you speak to them!
I was trying to call Prudential Customer Service when I got the same treatment as Renee describes. What was really frightening was the fact that after I gave him my cc#, he knew my address and would not stop calling until I disconnected my phone. I will report this to the New York Attorney General's office! Beware!! I got the number I called from a piece of correspondence that looked legitimate.
Received numerous telephone calls from 815-687-8101 - number is similar to the 815-687-8108. East Indian men are calling to ask for credit card numbers and they will give you a walmart card. Don't answer your telephone to this place and don't call them.
