I was contacted and asked to verify a SSN to resolve past open account MC/Visa debts from 1986 through First Interstate Banking, CA. I was asked if letters had been received (no letters were received).
It was explained that my account could be settled at nearly half its amount if I would give them my checking account routing #'s for EFT. I told him I did not have a checking account which he refuted stating, "I have all your present checking acct# info in front of me." -I do not have a checking acct-
I asked for a tel# which I received. The conversation turned into something resembling a street hustle from a con-man. It really became raunchy. It got weird.
I'm very street wise as well as computer savvy and started researching which brought me to this sight, (very, very helpful). I e-mailed the AG in my state for fear this might be an identity theft, scam or fraud more people should be aware of.
