They said that my rate was 24% was I aware of it? I said no, they asked me for my expiration date, I gave it to them,
then they said grab your card to verify your account. I didn't do it. that was from the number 1-800-847-2911.
Subsequently another number 1-800-903-3637 called and identified themselves as capital one and did I want to lower my rate. I have a call app on my phone which usually alerts me of possible scams, but it actually identified the number as Capital One, so I gave more info to that number. I never gave my cc number though and they keep calling. I called Capital one myself and notified them about what was happening and they did not initiate any calls to me. A scammer is out there trying very effectively and slyly to get folks numbers. I have reported it to the credit card company, you and my local police department. Go get them, before they scam some old folks.
Thanks, Lori Liskovec
She called back and I answered without realizing it was she again. She said she would make sure the $3,000 check was not honored and would send me a new Capital One credit card and some checks.
I told her not to do that, and reiterated that I was not a Capital One customer and never had been.
I hung up again.
How do I know this? Well, I reported the scam to [email protected], the address which their website says to send scam reports to. Of course, the mail was bounced back. Why? Because they really don't want to know about scams. Why not? Because they commissioned it. If they know about it, they're legally required to stop it. If they stop it, they stop making money from it. Need more proof?
I called the customer service phone number. There was no fraud department to reach. The rep I spoke to was very nonchalant after being informed about the scam. He didn't care. He refused to do anything about it, or transfer me or report it to anyone who could. That's when I realised, conclusively, that Capital One was actually behind it.
But, I didn't stop there. I contacted the CEO just to inform him what was going on. THAT Email bounced back, but not because his address was invalid. Because his address was flagged for having a poor reputation. That's right. The internet's inherent security measures prevented me from reaching the CEO of Capital One lest I might be scammed. And, there ya have it. Capital One literally commissions phishing scams that spoof their own company.
Now, fortunately I don't even have a Capital One account to clean out, and even if I did, I'm smart enough to see a phishing scam from a mile away, so I didn't lose any money. But people who hold CO accounts are probably not so smart and will likely lose all their money if targeted by this scam. And, of course, because CO is in on the scam, they won't make any effort to resolve it.
