I decided to play along today. The guy asked for my name. Since he called me, I asked how he didn't already know my name. He said, the calls are transferred to him and he has no idea of whose doing the transfer. Ultimately, he ended up asking for my credit card number which of course, I didn't give him.
After getting off the phone, I googled "how to contact Rachel's credit card services" and that's when I read what others have posted about this scam. I see that this is a chronic problem throughout the US. I read an article from April of this year, stating that they were being cracked down on. Really? Not as far as I'm concerned. I read comments from many stating that they're on the "Do Not Call List". A lot of good that does.
I have reported them multiple times and so have many others. What a giant rip off. I'm just glad I'm smart enough not to give out my personal information. I feel bad for those who are desperate for help and don't realize the scam. :(
Today's phone number was 507-540-0492 (south Minnesota).
