My phone rang. Caller Id said Florida call. Phone number: 305-000-4829.
Commuter generated message saying my credit card account was OK, I need to call immediately if I wanted to take advantage of having my credit card rates lower or press #9 to talk to a representative. Which I did. A fellow came on the line stating he was from Card Services and told me that Experian Credit reporting company gave them my phone number because I qualified for this lower credit rate rededuction. I asked which card they were referring to and he said any or all of them that I had a current balance on. Knowing full-well that I was not about to give them any card numbers or any other information, I questioned the guy further by asking him to tell me which credit card number he had. He then said he didn't have that information because it was illegal for Experian to give out that information. Before, I could question him any further, the connection got static-key and we were disconnected. How convenient -- I think he knew I was wise to him. I tried to report it to the donotcall.gov website, but I could not get past the first page because the above-mentioned phone number was invalid and unless I corrected it, I could not continue with the report.
