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.

I got a call, they left a msg sounded like a crowded telemarketing room

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.

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.

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!
