Thread: Gotta read this if you have a cell phone!!!!

This may just be a coincidence, but.....yesterday(the day after I registered for the do not call), I got a call from a 1-866 number. The guy wanted to give me a credit card to establish credit, with a couple thousand dollar credit limit. We only have 1 credit card (besides bank card). For emergencys. I believe that your first card, they don't give you a big limit. He just needed to verify that I had an open active checking account. He then asked my routing and account numbers. I told him I'm not supposed to give that out. He kinda got pissy and said well, when you go to the grocery store and write a check, its on there. I asked him can I call him back. He kinda yelled Thank You and hung up on me. I didnt even get his number. I called my bank. SCAM! What I find to be a little stranger, I just made a big deposit Saturday. A year ago almost to the day, we went to Vegas. We only spent cash, but while we were gone, someone got my bank card number and took all the money out of my account. I got a new card. Weird stuff.
It was 1-866-710-8746. He said he was in Florida.

if you google search that number, it comes back with a number of complaints, seems to indeed be a scam type place -- gold line credit or something like that...

First of all I want to Thank you. I received a phone call on my cell phone from this number. I didn't answer it, as I never answer a call on my cell, if it is a 1-800,1-866,1-877 number. I let it ring and then I google the number and research it, so thank you for making this information available on the net, as I know it will help many others as it did me.
