Imagine getting a call from an unknown number that claims to be from Consumer Services and asks about your credit card. The tone is casual, even using slang, which often signals a telemarketing scam. Never share account numbers, passwords, or personal details unless you’ve verified the caller through official channels. Hang up if the request feels off, then block the number on your device. Report the incident to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to your bank if any account info was mentioned. Keep a log of the call date, time, and any recorded phrases to help authorities track patterns.
On 12/27/2016 at 3:27 P.M. PST, I received a call from this number, but no message was left
After informing the caller that I didn't have an account with them and requesting to be removed from their list, I was met with unprofessional language, being told to 'chill out, baby'.
Upon returning the call, the line was disconnected, indicative of another scam attempt.
The caller claimed to represent Consumer Services, allegedly regarding my credit card.
