They called my house a couple of days ago, luckily I wasn't home to answer.

Called today from them, they were "calling about my visa or mastercard". I said which one? They said whichever one you have. I said who are you, where did you get my number and take me off your list - I do not want telemarketing calls". Unbelievable.

The people on the other end of this line had Indian/Pakistani accents, and were calling from a very crowded room.  They claimed I had earned a lower interest rate on my card, and seemed to be trying to get information from me.  People who receive a call (in Canada) from this number should contact +1 888-495-8501, Phonebusters, the Canadian national agency created to deal with phone scams.

Sounded like a crowded calling centre in Pakistan. . .claimed to be "Expert Consulting Company" calling people who pay on their credit cards on time and therefore deserve a reduced interest rate of prime.  They then requested the credit card info for the card I wished to  have a reduced interest rate on claiming that they will negotiate a lower interest rate with my credit card company.  I hope no one falls for this scam!

I had the same thing happen. I mean if the credit card company wanted to reduce my rate because I pay off my credit card in full they'd just do it. They would also know the information they are asking for. And they always ask for confirmation question to make sure it's them. Plus they are asking for more then one of your credit cards, this means they are NOT with the card issuing company and they can't possibly be from your credit card company. Also, did a reverse look up and it's a land line in British Columbia, Canada it appears to be through Telus. Obviously NOT a REAL call center! THIS IS A SCAM BEWARE!!!

Got a call from (250) 980-3438 telling me they were going to reduce the interest rate on my credit cards - my visa and mastercard. They obviously had no idea if I have a credit card, and if so, which one it is. (They're hoping you'll tell them). When I asked them who they were (several times) he rambled off the name of several banking institutions, hoping that I'd recognize one and trust him. WHAT A SCAM! He also told me that he was calling from CCA. I asked him what that was, and he kept repeating CCA. CCA. I finally asked him what those letters stood for and he said Credit Card Advoctes. I told him I was NOT interested and hung up on him.
He had a very thick accent and it was really hard to understand him. There was also lots of talking voices in the background, like if he was in a crowded telemarketing center.
I will be reporting this number and adding my phone number to the do not call list.
