Constant Robo Call "Alert about your Credit card account"

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 20:31:48 GMT

IDK if this is the right thread but lately, sometimes daily, I get robo called
from some lady saying like "hello this is an alert about your CC account, there
is nothing wrong but ".

Anyone know about it and how to get rid of this?

Seems like someone has my # which I don't like.

my guess it's not any card in particular but i wouldn't be surprised if CCC sold off your personal information to the highest bidder.

The robo voice will say something about syncb bank and lowe's. The first time they called Lowe's (via chat) said they tried to call...but the 2nd one they didn't.

would sync bank be my Amazon Store?

My call seems bogus.

1st call today Rhode Island 401 583 5665 (When I return call via google voice no one amswers)

2nd call today Minnestota 320 264 8985 (When I return call via google voice its says numb DC which could be a fake msg)

Next time I'll let it play out and type the whole thing here

update: i found this one

oh mine came up as No Caller ID on both! They gave me some 877 number to call back...I guess mine could have NOT been bogus, but I have seen others with this issue at times. Im not sure about yours to be honest. Call up the company and tell them whats been going on and see if they have heard anything.

I used to get those calls all the time, right after "nothing is wrong"... they would say something about lowering my CC interest rate without mentioning any card or bank. Since 1) I don't carry any balances on CCs other than 0% promo or deferred rates, and 2) I figured it was a scam I just pressed the 2 key, which means "not interested, put me on your do not call list". The call would end immediately. But I still got another half dozen calls over a couple weeks, always pressed 2 and they eventually got the message.

Yeah, and just because you get these calls doesn't necessarily mean they have any personal info about you, with VOIP internet phone calls so cheap alot of spam telemarketers just pick an area code & prefix and just robocall all the possible #s - 520-245-1111, 520-245-1112, etc.

Well, while we have you on the line, can we lower your interest rate to only 2.9%? Excellent! We just need to verify some information - can you verify your CC #? Excellent! And the expiration date? Excellent! And one last thing, can you verify the 3 digit security code on the back? Excellent! Let me put you on hold while I transfer you to our interest rate specialist . . .. . Line goes dead, tires squeal in driveway as I dash off to Walmart to buy some Green Dot Cards while my partner goes on a online shopping spree . . . .
