Beware of these people!!!
I got a phone call from a "representative" who could not pronounce my first name. I thought it was a telemarketer so I said I was not home. The rep. Asked when he could call back, and that the call was reguarding a credit card application I had submitted that was approved. I thought that was odd but hung up and didn't think more about it. Another phone call came a week later that I did take and the conversation was the same.
The representative said I had been approved for a mastercard I had supposedly applied for. I told her I didn't remember submitting an application and was it something that was solicited to my home? (thinking maybe my husband sent something in) Her response was it could have been an application through the mail, on the internet, or from in a store or magazine, any time in the past 12 months. It didn't seem right. She continued on to tell me the card was for an amount I knew was disproportionate to my credit. Also there would be a $99.00 activation and annual fee and a package fee of $29.99 that could only be done "bank to bank". She wanted my checking account information!!!
She could not tell me my address or when the application was submitted. She said I would need to speak with the verification department, and give them my social security number! Lastly in order to speak with them I had to finish speaking with her and giving her my bank info. I told her I would not. Then I checked on-line to see the previous complaint about these people. They try to sound legitimate with agent numbers and verification departments. If it walks like a scam, and talks like a scam - IT IS A SCAM!!!
