!!! FRAUD/PHISHING ALERT !!!
Left a VM message to warn me about eligibility expiring for a special interest rate on my credit card, offering to connect me to a rep by pressing one. Message never identified who was calling.
From their lack of willingness to identify themselves, I strongly suspect that this is a phishing scam. The phone number is not a valid US number, because no exchange starts with a zero or one. It seems like it could be the first part of a United Kingdom phone number; +44 is the country code for the UK. I investigated that avenue, but apparently reverse directory lookups are illegal in the UK.
