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

Call received originally from (250) 980-3438. Heavy background noise, sounded like a very busy room with many voices talking. Caller's voice partly muffled, like he placed the phone piece against his mouth. A male caller first spoke of my master card account, how it was paid on time and at an interest rate of 18%. He tried to ask me if I wanted a lower interest rate and said a few other things, but it was quite muffled. I asked him to call back for a better connection. He did, that phone number he called from was: (647) 288-1289. Again the same bad sound and background noise. He asked me if I was interested in a lower interest rate, but said other things that were muffled (again). I asked him for a telephone number and I could call him back. He gave phone # (403) 648-9328. I called that number and it was not in service.His information about my credit card was partially true, that I paid my dues on time, but he was wrong about my interest rate I currently have, which I never told him. That triggered a warning that this was not the credit card company I was with. They would have the exact information of my account and most of all, better telephone connection. Plus, this guy sounded quite unprofessional and all agents for the credit card company are trained, this guy was untrained.Be careful, these scams make generalized statements in the hope it fits your credit card account. Never give information out when someone calls you, always ask for a return telephone number and a name to call them back. When a return number is given, check it out on line and find out from your real credit card company if they have people calling and making such calls. Legitimate Credit card companies keep one set of phone numbers. When you get different area codes that span across the country from the same caller, then it is a scam.

They almost had my husband.  However, I did a Google search on the phone number (250) 980-3438 Ex 299 while my husband was on the phone to them and found that is was a scam.  

The names given were Tony Adams and Kevin Austin. They also gave a toll free number 1-+1 888-628-9228.  The number that showed up on my caller ID was 1-(403) 648-9228. They are very persistent, even after hanging up on them and telling them to stop calling they called back within 10 minutes.

Should they call you do not give them any information about anything.  Tell them to f*ck off and hang up on them.

Got a call from these clowns today.  I now just say sorry that person is not at this number and hang up, fastest solution.

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.

The call sounded noisy and the guy was with the Asian accent. Said he is from RBC Visa Bank but by unprofessional approach you could say immediately that they are a bunch of criminals. Avoid be questioned just seek answers.
