Scam Description
I started receiving calls from these telemarketers about 2 weeks ago. At first I just ignored the calls as i didnt know the number, but thn the calls became more frequent. So I answered on and the agent on the line advised that they were with Discover and because of a new government act FBCD they were going to clear the 6650 dollars owed on my credit card as i had not filed bankruptcy and continued making on time payments that were more then minimal amount owed. The agent proceed to provide me, my social security number, DOB, Card Number, last charges on my card etc. but then wanted me to confirm information like the expiration date and number of the back of my card. When I advised them i was not interested in providing any information and to send me the information by mail, the agent became rude so I hung up. They then proceed to call my phone 20+ times in one day. When i finally answered and advised again that i wasnt interested and to please put me on their do not contact list, the agent become verbally abusive and threatening. The agent stated calling me a Fing idiot, told me i was fing stupid, that they hoped i died and that when i died i still owed more and more debt because i was fing stupid. Advised me that they could f-up my credit because they had all my information and they were going to open credit cards in my name. I disconnected the call and they called back 10+ more times. I asked tp speak with a supervisor, the supervisor wouldnt address the issue just continued to try and promote their offer. After that call was also disconnected, they continued to call me back to back and harass me.
When i tried doing a reverse search on the numbers nothing valid comes up. I block the numbers they call from different numbers.
I called Dicover to inform them and advised their security team, they confirmed that it was not anyone within their company and there was nothing they could do to assist me. I did ask them to be aware as i was sure these scammers were not only targeting me.
I have more numbers that they called from just got tired of entering them. Please locate and put a stop to whoever this company is.
