I truly believe this is a scam - I got the call and "Unknown caller" shows on the caller ID - it is a recording offering help to lower the interest rate on your credit card - limited time only - either call the number back or press 9 - pressed 9 and asked which card - Sears, Pennys, Dillards, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or Traveler's - he asked me to hold on - told him I need to know which one to pull since I worked the Attorney General's office - he hung up.
Appears to be a scam! Offer to lower credit card rates to 6.8% on VISA, Mastercard or Discover. When I asked which bank they represented, she hung up.
I just got a call from these guys. I pressed 9 and got this women. Told her I thought it was a scam but she said it was only to reduce rates on Visa, etc. Then she asked if i'm still charging $xxx a month and I said yes but pay it off each month. She hung up!!
Here is a new twist! I had a msg left while I was at work - yet ANOTHER call (yes I've had many) offering to lower interest rate. As it is a msg, I can't respond in any way. WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER
BACK (made sure I dialed correctly - called it back twice) - IT WAS A RECORDING ABOUT "ADULT CHAT". MUST BE 18 YRS OR OLDER AND THAT IT WOULD CONTAIN STRONG ADULT SEXUAL LANGUAGE. Yeah, I hung up!! Will
definitely report to the FCC.
I agree it is a scam. After pressing 9, the woman asked what my balances were. I told her that she should already know since they called me. She immediately hung up
These people call with a plea to lower your credit card interest rate. This is a scam. Do not give them any information. If you call them back late, late at night, they'll answer then too. A woman with a strong S. American accent answered. Called the number back today and the call would not go thru. Maybe the authorities are finally onto them.
call about lowering interest rate on credit card but no bank mentioned. press 6 to speak with someone. scam. didnt do it
This # called and wanted to offer a 6% intrest on our credit cards and asked our balance, They knew nothing of our accounts and wanted us to give card numbers and balances. This is a sham !!
Call came from Pennsylvania to Kansas at 17:39 hours CST on 12-17-09. Call not snswered and no message left. Other posters advise it'd the lower credit card rate scam.
Received automated call from 610-404-3141 on Monday, January 4, 2010 at 11:30 am Mountain Time. Call said to press nine to lower the interest rates on my credit accounts. I pressed nine and the marketer who answered asked if I pressed nine to lower my interest rates. I said, "I'd like you to take this number off of your list" and continued to state that the nuber had belonged to someone else prior to September 2009 and I'm getting calls for someone named Viola or Violet, but this is not her number anymore, but the person hung up right after I said I wanted them to take my number off their list. She didn't apologize or anything, no comment at all, just 'click'.
Automated call to lower credit card rates. 8:10pm Eastern time.
They left a recorded message of the "press 9 to speak to a representative and lower your interest rate" yada yada. Of course, we are on the do not call list, and these folks have no business relationship with us.
I love it when these folks call. I always like to ask them impossible to answer questions about which car (since this is just another twist on the warranty scam), which account, since they are calling me, they should know what business they're calling about.
They have left several messages..."press 9 to lower your interest rate". After reading the postings on this site I picked up and pressed 9. The guy asked if I was inquiring about lowering my interest rate, I said yes, then asked him which card, he said a Visa from Citi (I don't have one!), I asked what my balance was, he said $2500 (I don't keep a balance). I discussed his heritage and imediate family history and told him if I ever got another call from them I would call the State Attorney Generals office and report them.
Recorded message offering to lower interest rates on my Visa card. Very odd since I only have and maintain an American Express. Maybe they were trying to lower the interest rate on my Visa Debit Card or something. What a SCAM. So much for being on the State AND National Do Not Call lists... LOL!!!
HOW CAN I GET THEM FROM CALLING ME? I JUST WANT TO REPORT THEM.....THANKS
Just when I thought the scammers gave up on this credit card nonsense, I get one this morning.
Don't any of you just ignore calls that come in from unknown numbers? I mean, you have your friend and family who's numbers you would readily recognize so why not let any that you don't recognize go directly to voicemail. If they leave a message, just delete it. Can you imagine how aggravating it must be for them to constantly not be able to reach people? How could you possibly be "scammed" if you don't answer calls from number that you do not recognize? More importantly, how could you possibly be "scammed" by not doing business over a telephone!?!?
We took the call and politely asked to be removed from their calling list. She hung up. Her name was Lisa. Tried to call back and continually got a busy signal.
Did not answer
Their automated message asked me to press 9 to lower interest rates. I hung up.
