I posted earlier....here are some more details....After being connected through the worst auto-dialer ever, I had spoken to a guy the first time they called, he twice rushed through the name of the company (sign #1 of trouble)...he said I had been referred by the credit bureaus to help lower my interest rates (sign #2)....I totally did not believe what the guy was saying, and he was very insistent, borderline rude that I was skeptical of his services. When I informed him that I was ending the phone call, his response was (rudely)..."Fine, enjoy your high interest rates then! (sign #3)" Today I had time so I called my credit card company, explained to the woman the phone call, and she said it is a scam (sign #4). They are phishing for information so they can steal your ID and credit, because they know right now people are trying to do what they can to save money (and the new credit card regulations). She made a notation on my account that I had been contacted by them, and to let my credit monitoring service know as well. I am hoping they will call back tonight (it will be 6 times in 4 days) so I can let them know I am on to them. Beware, these people are NOT looking to help you refinance (and besides, would you really go with someone who has a crappy autodialer?)
