i got the call today. soundes like a busy spot but it was a landline. they said they were from my visa mastercard RBC. sounded asisan to me. tried to get numbers i said i dont have any credicards.. i asked them why they were calling from a 250 area code since that was on the other side of teh country and they said how do you know that and i said becuase your number came up on my phone.. he said can you tell me which number and i basically told them to go screw theirselves and reported it

Caller...heavy accent, very hard to understand, tried 5 times to understand the name he gave me, (still didn't get his name), lotsa background noise, (call centre?), wanted VISA credit card information and interest rates on the card. He also wanted to know how many other cards I had and what the interest rates on them were. Said he was calling from Calgary but caller ID showed (250) 980-3438 which is a BC area code. I kept telling the caller that I was not interested but he got quite annoyed that I didn't want to lower my interest rates and kept insisting that I provide him with info. He claimed to be a "Consulting Company" calling people who pay off their credit cards on time and therefore deserve a reduced interest rate, "if interest rates on the cards were 15% or more". He knew my wife's last name and 1st initial and my address so I asked how he got the information. He said from the phone book. I told him to remove our number from their list and not call again. I then hung up.

same thing as above.. it sounded like a really crowded call centre.. they were offering me a lower interest rate. i just hung up on them. they keep calling.

Credit card consumer advocate called with caller id of (250) 980-3438 with same offer of reducing interest rates on credit cards.  Could hardly understand him and he said he would call back.  2 minutes later called back showing a (647) 288-1289 area code id and went through the spiel. I told him I would not give any information over phone and that I would check out their info and call back if I wanted to pursue anything.  He gave me a Alberta area code number (403) 648-9228.  I could not find these numbers on reverse directories so with what they are asking for it would be wise to rebuff them. This guy gave the name Oscar Smith.  Nice non-descript name for a guy that speaks english with a heavy east Indian accent.

I got a call from this number today. He kept asking me if I had a visa or a mastercard, then asked for my expiration date. When I wouldn't answer he got mad and started rambling about how I'm missing  big opportunity and started mentioning every company possible that issues credit cards. When I demanded he tell me the name of my bank or my full name he wished me a good day and hung up. Definitely a scam. I've been called by my bank before and they have always had some form of security verification / have never demanded information/ always had correct and up to date information.

Took a while to hear anything - sounded far away - heavily accented voice - couldn't understand - when I said pardon me they cut the connection.
