Lower Credit Card Interest Rate Phone Scam! Be Aware!?
Ok guys, if you ever get a phone call saying that they can lower your credit card interest rate, hang up the phone immediately! It is a SCAM! More info. can be found at the Better Business Bureau:

I got this phone call few weeks ago. They said they could lower my credit card interest rate. I asked them if they were from Royal Bank (my credit card issuer), they said they were not but a related company or something. Then they tried to lower my suspicion by asking me if I were (my full name) and living on (my full address). Apparently they knew my name and address. I hanged up the phone as soon as they started to ask for my credit limit, etc. (No, I did not give out my credit card number or other personal info). God! It is those kind of bad people that make our soceity insecure. So be aware, it is a scam! For more info. as to how to protect yourself, go to the above web site.
Sorry, had to delete and reposted the message, I typed the wrong web site. Anyway, spread the words so no one would be a victim!
Thanks for the heads up….I got one of those calls too..they would not tell me what company they represented and when I kept asking them questions, they hung up on me….scam artists (not even good ones) and rude too!
