this call is wilmington, nc - us cellular owns the line
- answered because I live in wilmington and have us cellular with the 910-473 part of the number for my personal cellphone number and thought it was a friend. Woman identified herself as generic "Cardmember services" - knowing these scams exist, I asked her to identify from which financial institution my credit card was attached to and identify the first four and last four digits of my credit card # - she hung up
I am now wondering if they can now customize the id number to the point where it can change per call made to make it look like it is a friend or someone local in your hometown knowing people caught on to these scams
