Automated dialer with recorded message from Jessica at a VERY vague "Card Services", offering to lower credit card interest rates. Connected to live agent, requested name of company, agent mumbled "Accelerated..." and would not clarify when asked.
RED FLAG: A company that refuses to identify itself, this is most assuredly a credit card scam. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION TO PEOPLE WHO CALL YOU. If you receive a call claiming to be your credit card company, ask for an employee name/number and then call the number that is on the back of your card and verify.
Telling this morons to remove you from their database/call list etc... will be pointless. Scammers don't care about the law, so they won't follow it.
Also, NEVER EVER register for a "Do-Not-Call List". They only stick your info out there for people just like these. Your name is on a list. This list is accessible by companies. Bad companies/scammers use these lists as CALL LISTS.
Being a skeptic has saved me from many attempted scams. Proceed with caution.
