Someone from this number called me claiming to be "Financial Services" representing Visa and Mastercard. Someone from the same number/company name called a couple of weeks ago and told a male member of my household how much debt I had and that they were calling to help me reduce my debt--because of some government approved plan. When "Arnold" called me this time, I said I did not appreciate them calling and giving anyone in my household my financial information. He said the person must have claimed to be me, which I know for a fact is not the case. I angrily said I did not think they should call and give anyone in my house my private information. He said, "You're crazy!" I said, "That's great customer service, calling your customers crazy!" He said, "I'm not customer service, I'm representing Visa and Mastercard." I told him to never call me again and he said, "I would never call again because I wouldn't want to have to deal with you!" His tone turned very nasty. I'm sure he was not representing Visa/Mastercard, although he did somehow know the total amount of debt I have. He also patronizingly said, "Oh, did your husband not know how much debt you had? Did you get in trouble?" I just repeated that he was not to call again and hung up on him.
