I listened to the caller, because I was going to put them on hold once they connected me to a live person. When I was told I would be number 12 on the waiting list, I hung up and just blocked the call. But I do suggest, start putting these scam artist on hold, and they will pick someone else to call. They don't like to be left on hold,
Interest rate scam.
Did not know #-did not answer-message left lower your interest rates
(216) 553-0347 Robo call recorded 29 December 2017 ("This is an important reminder regarding recent Federal Reserve Bank interest rate increase..." HA!) SCAM Caller ID: "Peoples Assista" A robo call with an annoying British accent (you know, where words ending with letter "a" are pronounced like "er" so that "Visa" is pronounced "Vee-zer") that opens warning that recent Federal Reserve Bank interest rate increases will cause consumers to have to double their monthly minimum debt payments. It's also a bit spooky that they claim to be monitoring my credit and know that I have an "excellent payment history". Their "shotgun" approach to making mass phone calls, and their total disregard of the Do Not Call list certainly tells us a lot about their business ethic, doesn't it? The fact that their recording uses a British accent suggests to me that this scam originates in India, which we all know to be a hot-bed of telephone scam activity. Here is a transcript of this automated, intrusive and unwanted robo call: "This call is now being recorded." [female voice w/British accent:] "Hi this is an important reminder regarding recent Federal Reserve Bank interest rate increase. Vee-zer or Mastercard is raising their interest rate and consumers will have to double their monthly minimum payments. Because we have been monitoring your credit and your excellent payment history, you are now eligible to lock your interest rate at 0% for the next 12 months on all your credit card accounts.
