Type of a scam Credit Cards

The company called with an automated voice system notifying me to press number one to learn about lowering the interest rate on my credit card. It did not give a specific company of my credit card and when I notified them of that and began to ask to be taken off their call list, they simply hung up on me. I tried to call back and was an able to patch through to a working line.

Type of a scam Rental

I replied to a craigslist add for an apartment on the east side of Madison. I was contacted via email by the scammers. I noticed that the grammar and context of the words used were odd.

The scammers asked for a seven hundred dollar deposit to hold the house via money gram sent to New Mexico and said the keys and paperwork would be sent to me after the payment was received.

I went by the property and spoke with the current tenants who had legitimate contact with the real owners. The house was for rent at one point but not by the people who contacted me.

I received a phone call from the phone number 619-488-5608 and my caller ID recognized it as Maria Hudson. I am in a government office and had my cell phone forwarded to my work number, so I am not certain if they called my cell or work line directly.

When I returned the call a male answered the phone,

male" "hello?"

Me: "I am returning your call."

Male: "Oh, right, shoot, I am from Some Loan and your loan was approved for $9000 how much are you going to borrow?"

Me: "What loan? What company are you with?"

Male: "I am with a loan company and we see you were in the market to borrow money and your loan was approved, are you going to borrow the loan?"

Me: "I do not recall a loan application, what market are you referring too?"

Male: : "Disconnected the call"

Scammers are some how using this +911 number to make us think it is the police.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

i have been receiving emails claiming that I owe a debt close to $8,000. Before that the debt was about $4,000. The latest email, as of May 4, 2016, claims that the debt was due January 1, 2016, and that legal proceedings will be taken against me if I do not pay up. It is always a different person who signs these emails. There is no name of a business or individual to whom I am supposed to be in debt. No letterhead nor any other identification or explanation of services or goods sent. Yet the threat of legal action is real. I always delete the message, and lately have put a block on the message. Don't know if that will help because it always seems to be a different messenger. Is there anything that I can do to stop this? I don't owe any money to anyone and my household and credit card bills get paid on time.

Type of a scam Phishing

The caller (sounded like a computer) left a message on my answering machine stating that his name was James Kaston and that I should call him at 281-949-6101 about a "Criminal Enforcement Action by the US Treasury." The instruction was to "cooperate so Mr. Kaston could help me."

The caller never asked for me by name. This is obviously a scam meant to scare people into divulging personal information of some kind.

I did not call the number (281-949-6101) and instead am reporting this scam.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

I received a recorded message from telephone number 305-602-9282 saying that Heather from my bank was calling about my credit card; saying nothing was wrong but was offering a lower interest rate on my card. However, the caller did not mention my bank by name. The message said that I could lower my interest rate by pressing "1" and talking to a representative. I did not press "1" and hung up because I suspected a scam because my bank was not mentioned name. Additionally, the call came over my cell phone and not my home phone. I normally conduct business with my bank over my home phone. Because I didn't press "1" I do not know if the call involved an attempt to take money.

Received call from 302-333-4359 (Wilmington, DE) which automated call claiming to be IRS and I had been sued. Recorded voice left same number for me to call back to get details about claim. I called back immediately they were unable to find my name and phone number and said they called me by mistake.

I received a call from the same number 3 hours later and it showed as coming from Greece they left a voice message with the same number for me to call back for claim information. I called back and asked to be removed from the call list. The same man answered the phone as I spoke to before (he had an accent) I asked again to be removed from the list he said "but I've missed you" the call was highly unusual and unprofessional. I informed the individual I did not want to be called again, he said "ok talk to you later."
