403-648-9228

Called around noon, no one talked. Could hear phones in the background.

Caller nearly impossible to understand, because of very heavy accent, trying to sell me on lower Visa card interest rates. He wouldn't tell me who gave him my personal information and claimed he was associated with all the major banks.  I told him I wasn't interested, that I don't have Visa cards, to which he started to ramble off personal information that only a bank would know.  When I told him I was not interested and wanted my number removed from his call list he started to argue with me.  Only when I asked to speak to him boss did he lighten up.  I was close to hanging up but decided to give him an ear full first. I called back and found out it is a company called CCA - a company who will offer you a Visa card at a lower rate that what you're paying.  They claim to not be associated with the banks but work for Visa and Mastercard, selling better cards at better rates.  I resent having my personal information being passed on by Visa and will complain to them.  I suggest that everyone who gets calls like these do the same.

Got a call, not blocked, very heavy accent saying _ wow-  I won a trip for four..  all in ... because I was such a good visa customer, then went fishing for Visa #, and other information....and passport # ...  yikes , I hope nobody responds .....  that I could sell the package for about $10,000 cash !!!  Too good to be true ?  He said his name was Johnson, clearly working in a call center.  Said he had no supervisor which is likely the only true part.. in fact said he was the boss.
Gave him a few graphic suggestions and hung up. I called back and they identified themselves as " Escape travel ".  Followed up with Visa who had no interest in following up ,  but were very appreciative of the call.


I wonder where they escaped from ..?

offering lower interest rates on all my credit cards.  he gave me the name of credit card consumer advocate.  He asked what banks were the credit cards issued from.  Then asked how much did I owe.  I hung up on him.

1-403-648-9228 called me. They are a mastercard scam wanting to lower your interest rate. I clued in before giving any harmful information, and hung up on the guy. He also had a HEAVY accent - could barely understand him. After I hung up he called me back 2 times ---must be desperate to get my credit card information.

1-403-648-9228 called (Arlene) to say that I had won a 14-day vacation for four.  She was hard to understand and was probably calling from a call centre as there were many phones ringing in the background.  She said something about Visa/Mastercard but I couldn't quite understand.  She invited me to call her back - said she was calling from Escape Travel.  Think I'll pass.

Got a call from 1-403-648-9228(named Jimmy)claiming i have won a vacation,his accent very heavy,very persuasive to get personal info I hang up with some choosen word.

called my number at noon. I called them back and the guy with a heavy accent answered the phone and said that I was picked to get a lower interest rate on my credit card. I dont own a credit card and when I told him this he said ok have a nice day and hung up on me.

Hi, this is an obvious Nigerian Scam. They are renowned for fraud and scamming with fake certified checks, cerdit cards and even they can hack into bank accounts and transfer to overseas accounts. Ive been had once, and they tried manhy times after...If this number shows up on your telephone, answer it and notify them then you have softward to retrace calls to a fized adress, that should at least scare them off to anyther potential victim

Called me from this number, waited until I said hello ..

Called me at 12:34 PM today to a 780 area code number that
is PRIVATE UNLISTED UNPUBLISHED ??????????????
THANKS A LOT TELUS!!!!!!!
They hung up before I answered.
The next time they call - this is what I do to these losers - answer the phone and gently leave it off the hook untill the line beeps.
So you guys - it's not VISA that is selling your phone number.

TELUS IS SELLING YOUR PHONE NUMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got a call at noon - no message so I called back.  He (with heavy thick accent) already knew my name, address and phone number.  Wanted to lower my interest rate on MasterCard. Said he was not associated with any bank and was from credit advocates. Told him we've closed the account and he hung up.

called said he would reduce my visa rate, i asked him to hold, went out back for a smoke came back in he was still on the line. i mentioned i was on my cell with visa, and he hung up !! LOSER.. i don't have a visa !!!!

I've had my number active for 3 days and I registered it under the do not call registry since Nov 26. Only people who have my new number area utilities or credit card companies. So either this is a random dialer trying to take advantage of my number while its in the "do not call" transition period, or one of my "trusted" companies is selling my number.
Call was an automated message saying they would lower my credit card rate and to press 9.

rec'd an automated recording on my VM from someone named "Lisa" advising me of my credit card... just another scan trying to steel identity or switch cards...

do not call requests do not work.

Could barely understand the message. The voicemail cut it off before I could make out anything.

Called around noon, left a weird message, did not appear on call list.  Called to find out who was calling and they were asking questions about my credit card number.  Very strange call, I reported it to the police and my credit card company.

Alert! This is Nigerian fraud - do not give out any information what so ever, report to any credit card that they are trying to use and police for advice, they are very aware of these guys.

I got a call from this number. The guy (who spoke with an Indian or Pakastani accent) congratulated me because I had been chosen to be offered 1.9% interest on my credit cards.  He said that he worked in conjuction with the banks, and major credit card issuers.  I had been selected because I had made at least the minimum payment on my credit cards in the last few months.  You get placed on hold a few times and talk to different people (all with the same accent - call routed from overseas to this number).  They asked for my date of birth. They ask you to recite your whole credit card #.  When stated I felt uncomfortable with this, they said that I could state the card number 99 times incorrectly and one time correct, and they would verify which was either.  They asked for the expiry.  Then I was put on hold.  They later came back and gave me my exact outstanding balance.  They then asked for my limit to which I played dumn.  Then they asked for the #'s on the back of the card, at which point I hung up.  After hangning up they immediately tried to call x2 in a row.  I immediately called up my credit card company.  The security company said with the information I provided them, they could phone the credit card automated customer line to get a balance.  If I had provided the #'s on the back they would be able to make charges.  The security department said it was not necessary to cancel my card, I could if I felt uncomfortable.  So I cancelled my card and now will have to wait 10 business days or more to get a new numbered card.  

This is a SCAM.  You can deal directly with the credit card issuer to lower your rates.  Never reveal the #'s on the back of your card, other-wise they can go on a spending spree!

Canadians - Please report all calls from this # to the RCMP via their program Phone Busters. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/scams-fraudes/phonebusters-eng.htm Maybe they'll put a stop to it before someone's grandma gives away her bank account info.
