I get very aggravated about it. I don't have a credit card and don't want one. They called from different numbers and everytime they call, I would file a complaint on the FTC website. Today was weird when they called. On my caller ID, it came up as my husband's name and my phone number. I told them numerous times to stop calling, and even pressed 2 to be removed from the call list. I am on the "Do not call" list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12423159.post-759298967441434622012-04-30T03:45:05.535-07:002012-04-30T03:45:05.535-07:00DEAR FRIENDS HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS FO...DEAR FRIENDS HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS FOR ALL OF YOU...<br />1) CALL YOUR BANK AND ASK FOR A "CHARGE BACK" NOT REFUND OR ANY KIND OF MONEY BACK JUST TELL THEM I NEED A "CHARGE BACK" YOU MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED BACK IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND FRAUD COMPANY ACCOUNT WILL BE HOLD FOR 15 DAYS, THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR YOU GUYS...JUST REMEMBER ME IN YOUR PRAYERS...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12423159.post-86582065491235554672012-01-05T10:07:30.479-08:002012-01-05T10:07:30.479-08:00When I pressed 1, the guy asked for the bank name ...When I pressed 1, the guy asked for the bank name on my card, then he GAVE me the 1st 4 digits of my cc# to "prove" he's legit. He also gave me the next 2 numbers. After more reassurances - like he'll never ask for the 3-digit security code - he asked for the last 8 numbers of my cc. That's when I stopped. I'm guessing that anyone can figure out the first 6 numbers if they know the bank. I won't give any caller the last 8 numbers, and I won't be talking to these people again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12423159.post-82095433089997999702011-02-07T14:00:38.718-08:002011-02-07T14:00:38.718-08:00Thank you for posting this important information. ...Thank you for posting this important information.
