Received a call from 246-395-8673 saying they could lower my interest rate if I had credit card debt totaling over $3500. Tried to verify balances and kept telling me I didnt qualify based on my credit limit and available balances. Finally found one that was under the credit limit of their terms and then they transferred me to a person to qualify me. She asked for a different card and when I told her that wasnt the one they used to qualify me with, she transferred me to a manager and he says" so you dont want to give us your credit card number? I told him that they already had one number and I wasnt giving anymore personal information because it didnt make sense. The first person I talked to wanted the customer service # off the back of my credit card because supposedly the "qualifier" would be on the phone with me and my credit card company at the same time. I hope I didnt give them too much personal information. Now I have to keep an eye on all my cards. When I told the "manager" it didnt make sense,he hung up on me.

    They weren't trying to "qualify" you for their program.  They were trying to find a card they could charge a large "fee" to.

    That they didn't make this clear to you up front indicates they were deceptively trying to get your card numbers in the first place.

    I just got this call, for the third time, each time the message says 'consider this your last chance' which is bull.  Anyways, I clicked '9' so I could get to a representative to get removed off their call list, and the second I said that to the representative, he hung up.  This is DEFINITELY a scam, and they will continue calling until they get you to be stupid.  I suggest if you have the ability to block numbers on your phone from calling through, to block this number.
