Unknown Name/Unknown Number calls repeatedly (often once per day and even at night) and either says that they want to lower my interest rates on my credit cards, lower my auto loan rates, or extend my automobile warranty ("Just press 1 to speak to someone about..."). I always press 1 and ask for company information or to be removed from their call list, and they always just hang up on me. Today I pressed 1 to talk to somebody about lowering my credit card interest rate, and pretended I was interested. I spoke to an operator who said her name was Whitney. She told me their number (800-847-2911) and said their address was Suite 300 W Peachtree, Ft Meyeres FL 23906. She said they just needed my credit card account information and they would lower my rates. She said that they are affiliated with Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express and with all banks. I asked to talk to her manager. He said his name was Mike. When I asked how they found out about me, he said they got my number from Visa and Mastercard because we have a very high credit score and good payment history. When I asked him why his system often called us at night, he became agitated, asking what that had to do with me getting a better interest rate. I asked him if they used the Do Not Call list, and he became very upset, speaking to me in a rude tone, and insulted me for having "nothing better to do with my time." Then he hung up on me.
I received a call from this number 1-800-847-2911 at work and a man named Jeff Williams was rude and asked for our cashier. He wanted the dollar amount of our last transaction because he said they detected a discrepency. We did not give him any information because the whole thing sounds like a scam.
I googled the company name and found this website. The number didn't show up on my caller ID. A prerecorded message from "Visa and MasterCard Customer Assistance Center" told me to press 6 to consolidate credit card debt and lower my APR. When I pressed 6, I was connected to a live agent. She introduced herself and asked if I had more than $4,000 in credit card debt. When i said no, she hung up!After Googling the name, I found the number above and called it. When I pressed any option, I was asked for a credit card number. After entering a made up number, I was connected to a guy that sounded like he was from India or Pakistan. After asking how they got my number, he asked what country I was in. He then gave me an address to write to: PO Box 9014, Farmingdale NY 11735. This of course is the Direct Marketing Association's address.WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE GET A LIFE? I think telemarketers are the lowest form of life on the planet. One could even argue that they are non-living objects.
i got a call just moments ago frm this number and noone was on the line. it says "VISA"as the caller ID.i called back,and it was really VISA... saying the only reason they'd call me is if i requested emergency money...i told him that i don't have a visa,but only through Capitalone and i said "if that was to happen the would call me"and eh said "thats correct"and told me to call CO and tell them what happenned.
This message was quite interesting and a new twist in the scammer's market. The use a recorded message that does not start right away. But a couple of seconds into the message, it begins by saying that "if you do not want the scheduled service at this time and wish to change it, please call 1-800-*********" Then it the recording was screwing up again. If your life is busy, you will think hard about who might be coming to your house to service a heater or appliance or a phone line, a gas line. So it is a fairly compelling scam to get you on the phone. I couldn't recall the number anyway, but would never call it to see what they were scamming as they would then have your phone number and try a different angle. My experience has been, unless there have been an annoying amount of reports (thousands), no one entity cares to stop it or even investigate it. They usually just note it with the other statistics. We had scammers calling in my area about "your bank account with Clear Mountain". Well of course, most people they called don't even have accounts there. But it did not even make the newspaper until thousands of reports came into the local police. Even then it was published asking people to quit calling the police......
Just got a call and I live in Western Pennsylvania , didn't answer it and no one left a message .I googled it and saw it was a scam .I immediately notified my elderly mother not to answer the phone at her home as well,was reported to the Attorney General being I work for the state.
I have received perhaps a dozen recorded voice messages from this company. The last few times I called back to get info on the company making the calls and to ask them to take my name off the list.Twice, they hung up when I asked.The last time, I managed to get through to a manager. Her name was Rhianna (last name I think was Lewis). She identified the company as United Financial Services and gave me the business number 1-800-847-2911.Then I told her I had received many calls from her company, that I had asked to be removed from the list, and that I was on the Do Not Call Registry.She hung up on me.
Just got one of these recorded calls. Tried to call back, and somehow I got back to MY bank (PNC). They told me that they did not call and to be sure and keep a check on my Visa account for any unauthorized purchases. Do NOT give your account # and/or expiration date to anyone. Your bank will know your expiration date - they do not have to ask for it.
Received a call from "Visa" to lower my interest rate to 6.9% - limited time offer. I stayed on the line to inquire "Which Visa Card?" I have more than one. Customer rep. hung up on me. Called the number back, and found (from Visa) that someone has spoofed that phone number to acquire card information for fraudulent purposes. They are in the process of finding out the source of the calls.
The scam uses a recorded pre-call. If you would like to lower your interest rates. They claim they are Visa and MasterCard Client Services, not. There is no such organization that will call you to lower your rates. The institutions can just raise or lower your rates as they see fit. I got a name, Michael Samuels and a phone number 407 379-1524. I gave two credit card numbers with no supporting information and within two hours they had tried to use one to buy a car and the other to purchase something. So beware!!!!!!!
