I have gotten this scam call several times. Someone calls and asks if you need to lower your credit card interest rates. I always ask for their phone number, and ask for them to identify themselves for my attorney.
That's when they start to stumble. They say they are with U.S. Financial and give me the number 718-827-9594. But darn when I call it back you get a funny buzz and the operator says the number does not exist.
In other words it's a scam. It upsets me that some people who may be desperate may fall for this. Once I went so far as to pretend to be interested. They asked me for my credit card number that they would work with to get me lower interest rates.
The key here is never to give out a number without you making the call. Beware this scam. I don't know why they call me, but this must be the tenth call I have received. Oh and when you call, you are told to speak to "Nuna."

"Because," I said, " I want to report you. I'm on the do not call list."
He hung up.
Have you received the email yet? This one claims to be from the FBI alerting me that a foreign diplomat tried to get into this country with a bunch of money , they go on to say that their were papers in there which mentions my name... NOW, they say that I am to contact a number with the agents name on it, or I am going to be arrested within 72 hrs for money laundering... Well... its been over 72 hrs... I am still here and not one dime richer... Oh yea, the diplomat was supposed to of been coming from Nigeria to the US....I didnt know the Feds sent emails warning you to turn yourself in...LOL... How stupid do they think we are in the USA.... But then again Obama was put in as a pretend president so maybe, the USA is put on a stupid list in other countries...lol
But back to this scam Carol...yes, we have received them too...
The deal is they send you what looks like a Federal Money order in X amount. They ask you to deposist this into your savings account then go the next day and draw that amount back out. You get two addresses. One will be from Nigeria and the other from Africa.You will be ask to buy two money orders for X amount of money and keep the differance left for your self.
I recieved a pretty healthy amount but when I held the money up to a light there was no water mark. I took it to my bank and they wouldn't cash it, but advised me to take it to the post office where it was declared as counterfiet.. So beware of this kind of scams to.These jokers will tell you anything .
Also they tend to hit on older women who thet think may have a good sized savings account..
