Same thing - lower my credit card rate to 6.5% They knew EXACTLY what credit card I had and they knew my balance. They wanted the expiration date on my card, so I said I couldn't give it to them.
The place on my caller ID stays: "Bozeman, MT" and the 406-219-2525 but it's clearly a call center from overseas. The gentleman had a thick accent as though he is from the Indian, Pakastani, Indonesia areas.
As soon as I said I can't give them the expiration date of the card, he disconnected the call.
This probably is a phishing scam. If they can get your ss number and date of birth, they can probably get a copy of your credit report as well. He surely knew the type of card and the SPECIFICS of the card. He said he was from "Credit Card Services."
