I just received a call at work (came through the switchboard) from someone I think he said his name was James; claiming he was from the Chicago Citibank branch. He said he was calling about a mastercard that that has a "refuses to pay" on the acct? He stated a last name that sounds very much like mine -polish and not common. He asked if that was me; he also had my first name. I said no and that I didn't have a mastercard acct and what concerned me was how peculiar all this was. He asked if I knew anyone in Lake Forest b/c they were giving out my "info"? After I read the number 847-741-7841 back to him on the caller id - the call was disconnected. I called the nubmer back and it's busy busy busy. Do not take this statement offensive, this is just to help out, but I know the voice was older / african american male and sound very proper but monotone.
Caller ID said operations Division 1-847-741-7841 Only rang 3 times, No voicemail. I tried calling it back, but it's been busy all night. Who are these plp? At first I thought it might be an IT job calling for my husband, but not I'm not to sure. If it is a collection place I'm not picking up, I just got scamed a year ago out of 1700 for a loan, and guess what the darn thing never came. They said I needed a down payment for Insurance, So I'm not about to get scamed again. Oh yeah and whatever you do don't pick up the phone if you see the name Worthington Capital. That's the loan scam
called three times in a row and when i got around to answering the guy on the other line was asking for a person i was in a relationship with 8 years ago! when i said that they had the wrong number they started cursing me out and telling me that my mother raised me to be an [***] thats why i wouldnt answer the phone...they continued to curse at me for about 10 minutes and then i hung up.
