I got the same call today, to my cell phone which I never use on any applications. They identified themselves as Visa and when I said "what bank are you with?" She said just Visa regarding my card ending in XXXX and expires on this time. They offered a free gas card saying they were upgrading me and then said they will enroll me in the 25K theft protection to which I stopped her saying NO, NO, NO...I don't want any plans on my card. She just said OK and ended the call. Scary thing is that I never use my cell for applications, and that they called on a closed account and couldn't identify the bank the card was associated to. Makes me wonder what DB they got a hold of to get the last 4 of the card and the expiration date and my name and cell. My thought was they were going to ask me to repeat my full card number to get that, but I never took the call that far.
