Caller was abusing me from 619-801-8152
Complaint
Carol Baker
Country: United States
Caller ID just read "SERVICE CALL" When they called, I told them I was on the national "no Call" list and I have an unlisted phone number. The caller called me by name and informed me that unless I was willing to give him all the information he was demanding, he would put a "freeze" on my account. I have no credit cards, so I couldnt imagine what he was talking about but he laughed and hung up on me. When I called the number back I only get a recording saying that if I want to be removed from their calling list with their "special offers", I needed to press 1, which I did. I was told it may take up to 72 hours to remove me from the list. The recording had already started when I picked up the phone, so I got no company name. This felt like a scam but I was disturbed that this caller knew my name and my relatively new unlisted phone number. I still refused to confirm my identity or give the caller any information.

They were phishing for your credit card information.
Banks don't have to ask their customers for their credit card number. A bank would already know it.
The reports below indicate various fraudulent scams and extortion attempts.
These reports indicate they are running a shady "lower your credit card rate" scam.

They are also running a "debt collection" extortion racket, using phony allegations of some unpaid loan and threats of arrest.
