Called saying I qualified to have interest rates on credit cards lowered for life. $700 "one time transaction fee" that could be broken up into 3 monthly payments. Eventually wanted me to call the credit card company with them on the line while I verified my identify and authorized the card company to talk to them. Verification includes giving your SSN and answering security questions while they were on the line. I said I wouldn't give non-public identifying info with them on the phone and I'd pass on their offer. They called back a week later threatening to send the unpaid "transaction" fee to collections of I didn't pay it. I told "Sam" I didn't complete a transaction with them and they provided no services and weren't entitled to a fee. He kept trying to say it was too late and the fee couldn't be reversed. Total scam!
