Country: United States
keep getting calls from credit card svs with dif tel numbers, most recent 253-236-2179. Initially its a recording, pushed 1 to talk to rep. He claims works for chase and cap 1 to reduce interest rate on existing accounts if pd on time for 6mos and over 5000 total debt. DONT believe these people, they are scammers, they dont know your balance therefore dont work FOR chase or cap 1. 3x i asked what the name of their company was and if they were a 3rd party that would negotiate rate down. still claimed no, that they actually work for cap 1 and chase. BULL!!!!
also on the do not call, filed yet another complaint.

The fact is that the CC companies are in bed with the scammers, as they will gleefully debit your account, collect a commission, and move on to the next victim. Part of the commission go to the PAC.
Sure they will reimburse the few that complain, the the portion that just give up, gives free money to the banks. THINK ABOUT IT. It's really the credit card companies fault. THEY are the one that take the money, commission, and turn it over to THEIR contractual client. THEY the CC and bank do need financial information (Know you client).
If there was indeed willingness, the scammers could be traced in one day.
