Centurion Financial Benefits Attempted Fraud ripoff New York New York
I was receiving phone calls every so often on my cell phone, how they got that is beyond me. Yet every time they called, it went for 2 rings, maybe. Then they would hang up.
This time today, I snatched up my phone fast enough to answer and have a lady with a foreign accent that I couldn't understand. She was beating around the bush everytime I asked her for the company's name, phone number, web address... etc. She finally gave the phone # and extension to me: (866) 784-0260, ext. 9000. And the company name, well, i had her repeat it over and over, until I finally just had her spell it out, SLOWLY.
Then this was all after she pitched the sale of the Mastercard, with $2,000 credit limit, low A.P.R. and no-interest balance transfers, and that all sounded great to me, having no credit or not good credit. And then she wanted $249. She told me she didn't care if it was my checking account, my mom's account, my girlfriend's, whatever. Even if my name wasn't on it. And i was badgered into giving her my S.S.# and Driver's License #.
What should I do about giving those out? I never gave her the Bank Account #'s, or names or anything, but she's calling back on monday morning. Anything you can think of to help, would be great.
