I just got an automated phone call from account services calling about my credit card. The message never identified what credit card company it was from, nor who the cardholder was supposed to be. It just wanted me to press 1 to speak to a live operator so they could lower my interest rate.
I’m sure the point of this is to get you to give up your card number. I knew it was a scam because (in addition to the lack of identification) the phone number on Caller ID came up “unknownâ€. I’ve been getting these calls from several sources, the one being Deland, FL (368-736-8732) ** I called it back, it was a disconnected telephone number *** and the latest from 5-062-220-4187 (obviously spoofed).
BE VERY CAREFUL, especially during the upcoming shopping season.
Just thought you should be aware of these goings ons. My crusade to find these idiots is mainly to report them to the powers that be because ALL my phone numbers are on DNC lists – if I’m being solicited and I’m on a DO NOT CALL list – it’s a BIG fine for the company that makes the call.
Watch out, I’m a comin’!
