I have had 3 phone calls from a company that plays a recorded message about my credit card balance and that I am paying too much interest.
The call does not ID the company but the message implies that it is my bank.
They instruct you to press a number on your phone to connect you with another location.

DON'T DO IT.

This is a scam

Your caller ID will display area code 062.
Many people have been taken in by this and lost money as a result.
The problem is that there is no area code 062. I am on the do not call list but there is no way I can ID these crooks to report.

Beware. I don't want anyone taken in by this.

 

I've gotten that call several times. As soon as it starts talking about interest rate I hang up - I haven't carried a balance in over 10 years, so the rate on a card makes no difference to me.

The caller ID number gave me pause, too.

Bat, it's really just your wife's boyfriend checking to see if you're home.

 

This might well be the country code. 062 appears to be south-central asia.

 

Same here, no CC balance so I hang up.

 

I found this in a search.

Strange, I just received the same call this week, I believe it was on Wednesday. I have signed up on-line to not receive "junk calls" but this one got by. I don't answer surveys, sales pitches and I don't respond to taped messages.

 

I think they do not fall under the rules on the do not call since they are out of the country.

 

It's from INDIA!
