Please don't try calling the number 216-501-2998. I just did, and It belongs to a nice person who is being victimized twice.
First, the "Account Services" crooks are "spoofing" Caller ID to make it look like the call is coming from his cellphone.
Second, over the past few days, he has been getting dozens of calls from people who are upset with "Account Services". He was very polite and assured me that he is not a telemarketer. His voice sounded nothing like the "Mark" person who answers when you press 1.

I received a call this morning & spoke to "Becca." She said she could lower my APR on my credit cards, saying that she worked for Credit Services America for Mastercard & Visa. I acted interested, as I do have a few cards with a higher interest rate. She stated that they work with the banks to lower our interest rate, that they needed me to verify my account information in order to process the card information, then transfer me to the rate specialist to finalize the deal. So she asked me to verify the 16 digit CC number and my expiration date. *FLAG!* I am 30 years old lady, not 80. do you really think I'm going to "verify" my credit card number with you?! So she said, "well, your credit card is FDIC regulated & if there are any unauthorized purchases, you can always contact the bank. but in order for anyone to charge your credit card, they would need the 3 digit code on the back of the card, I do not need that." I simply told her that if she already had the information, she could verify it with me. She said they didn't allow her to do that. So i asked her for their website so that I might verify that they were legitimate. She gave me THREE websites, none of them were really valid. I asked her if they normally switched websites, and she said that they had a few. OK, sure, that sounds good....So I asked her if she would transfer me to her "rate specialist" so that I might verify a few things with him about the company. THAT's when I was hung up on. I can't believe these people think that everyone is dumb enough to GIVE them the information that they ask for?! BEWARE people! They think it's easier to scam other people's money than to make their own. And if you GIVE them your credit card number, well you'll be duped.

This is a scam that has been going on for quite some time. It is the same pre recorded message about reducing your credit card rate. I have been getting these types of pre recorded calls from various numbers all over the United States. Strange thing is that they are using cell phones to call with. When you are connected to a live person they hang up when you ask them to identify themselves or when you tell them you are on the do not call list. They do not care because they keep calling. Every time they call they use a different cell phone number. A legit credit card company will not use a cell phone to call you with. Here are the numbers they have called me with: 216-501-2998, 315-436-6239, 502-718-8814, 203-584-5201, and 406-224-9051. They are all cell numbers pitching the same credit card scam.

Called, I answered. Automated response saying they have repeatedly tried to contact me, through the mail and the phone (not true) about my account. That they want to help me lower my interest rates on my current credit card, which I do not have. Looking to steal my credit card info. Thieves and liars.
