Tried to get credit card information including expiry dates.

Claimed to be a program from MasterCard to lower the interest rate

I could not agree more than this government has been negligent in enforcing the DNC list!  Shame!  Shame on us if we continue with the same government in power!

I received a call offering me lower interest rates on my visa. The person knew way too many details about me...    Funny thing is I don't have any credit cards. He gave me a name,probably phony. Name of company was Credit Card Consumer Advocate. The phone number to call back was 1-+1 888-516-2459....although my call display showed 1-(647) 288-1289.
Good news though ....apparently my payment history is in good standing otherwise they wouldn't be calling. LOL!!!

Got the same canned recorded message.  Waited for a 'representative'.  When the individual finally came on the line, speaking very poor English, I asked who it was (I didn't get who it was) . . . they hung up!!!  I am blocking all aforementioned numbers from our phone.

My mom got called this morning. Credit Card Companies don't call you to lower your interest rate, thank you Opera and any other talk show that talked about finances. My mom had her credit card to look for the customer service number and it was incorrect so my mom said she doesn't want to do this over the phone and her credit unions will do it for her when she's in person.
What buggers using that number in Ontario. Hence why I never pick up numbers out of province.

I also got a phone call from this number and wish for it to stop! Does anyone know how to get off the callers list?
