Merchant Services calling regarding our credit card processing. When asked pertinent questions that only our processor would know and them being unable to answer, they get angry and hang up.
Got a call on my cell from them at 5:58pm today. An automated voice stated that my Visa debit account had been frozen and that I needed to press 1 to speak to someone in order to correct the situation. I don't have a Visa debit card so I was immediately suspicious and figured there was some sort of scam going on. Damned crooks!
I received a call tonight on my cell saying that my Visa debit card was frozen. I was worried because my daughter has the card with her. I hung up and checked the bank online and no unusual activity. No more than 10 minutes later, my wife's cell phone rang with the same message. I called the number back and got a message stating the business was Merchant Cooperative. Googled the number and this site comes up first:

This is definitely a scam. sounds like they have a bunch of Michigan numbers.
