Discover Financial services-  So, if you were looking for a job, CALL THEM BACK!!!!!!

I recently got a call from 801-902-7000. My caller ID said Unknown Caller, just the phone number displayed. Sweet talking lady said she was from Discover Bank and wanted to know my new address because a refund check of a small balance (turned out to be 1 cent) left in my closed money market account was returned to them from my old address. I said just write it off. She said "okay, we'll donate "it" (that's when I asked & found out it was 1 penny) to the Make a Wish Foundation." Then, she proceeded to the real purpose of the phone call: "To support our taking this action, would you mind providing me with more personal information?"  I said No and hung up. There's a lot of new scammers out there because of the negative job market and I guess some clever people are putting grandmothers in the telephone boiler rooms now...my personal rule: NEVER GIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE TO A "UNKNOWN CALLER" CALLER ID...

Why do they want more personal information?  For what?  Also, they never stop calling, they call literally 20 times a day and don't identify themselves.  If it is a legitimate call they would tell you who they are and what they want.  I am so sick of them ringing my phone and no matter how many times I say take me off your list and stop calling, they just keep on calling and calling and calling.  Can this be reported somewhere?

This is an arm of Discover Card, but in my case it was for the student loan we applied for.

MaryAnn...pay your bill!  They'll stop calling.
