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.

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

They were a group of people from India trying for my credit card numer..
F***ed up bunch!!!!
DONT TRUST THEM!!

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.

"Jacob" at some call center trying to sell some sort of financial service.  I told them to remove my # from their call list.  So far, so good.
