Robo call saying "my account has been reviewed" but does not give a company name. But I've been approved for thousands of dollars of credit line for my business! Oh happy day! Press 1 and the lady does not give her name or company name, but starts asking questions. I provide my general fake answers. As soon as I ask who she is calling from, she immediately hangs up. At least if they call again and ask for the fake name, I'll know it's a fraudulent call. It's just my way of poisoning their databases. I highly recommend it for any telemarketing call like this.
My opinion? This is an obvious scam. I can't think of a legitimate business that would be unwilling to give their name. Now, the question is the scam just trying to phish for info for illegal purposes? Or are they just trying to get you into a really crappy loan agreement? I'm sure they will call back again, and I'll post additional information that I can pull out.
