I got a call from these people about 6 pm on Friday, Sept. 23. They said I had won free gas and airline tickets for maintaining my checking account. They already had my checking account number and asked me to verify it. They also knew my address and what city the Bank was in. Then they wanted me to give them the rest of the numbers on my checking account and when I told her I didn't want to do that, she got nasty with me. She said we have that information already so why don't you want to give it to us? I said because if you called me to give me something and you have my account information, why do you need me to give it to you? She got even nastier and said, well we have it because you have used your checking account to pay for something on line but we need to be sure you are the account holder. I said, fine, you called me and if you are giving me something at no cost why do you need anything else from me? She kept telling me, "Why do you have a problem with this?" It's very simple, anybody can see the information I am asking you for.?" I said, well, since you called me, I am not giving it to you, but why don't you give me a number to call you back at? Instead she gave me a web address which doesn't exist: www.distinctadvantage.net
When I refused to give her any more inforamation, she hung up. I called back on caller I.D. And I got a recording telling me differnet things I had to do to opt out of their "program". I hung up. Since it was Friday, I could not notify my bank or the phone company. I don't know if they have taken anything out of my account, but I do wonder where they got it from?
Any suggestions?
