I played dumb, I knew as soon as I got the beginning pre-recorded message that it was the same credit card scam I had gotten in the past. Told them I had two cards, both were in good standing, but interest rates were high. He talked with an accent, told him i would be ever so grateful if he could be a nice boy and get that interest rate lowered. Asked me to verify my phone number....I gave him my ex's phone number, he is an [***] anyway...hahha...then told them i had two cards, a MC and Visa....said one had a 15,000 limit, and I only owed 2400 on it, the other was 10,000 and only owed like 500. I swear you could hear "cha-ching" goin off in the mans head. He asked me to verify the customer service number on back on card...told him 18009tdVisa, which is a legit customer service number for visa...then he asked for the expiry date...and I asked him if he could hold for a minute, my cel was ringing. He said sure, and i heard him breathe into the receiver impatiently...asked him who I was speaking to, Jeff, but its probably a made up name.
When I came back on the line, I said "Sir, I would recommend that you relinquish any dealings you have with this company for credit card fraud", this entire conversation has been recorded, and will be handed over to the authorities within the matter of minutes...As soon as he heard this, phone was slammed down in my ear...probably accomplished nothing, but it was fun deceiving the deceiver .. :P
