SCAM ALERT! Robo-call from company claiming to be Card Services

As we all know, robo-calls are considered illegal - but that obviously does not count for scam artists, especially international scam artists.

If you get a robo-call from a company claiming to be Card Services, be cautious. It is a known scam. The robo-call starts off telling you your credit score is at risk, and only they can help you lower your interest rates and pay off your overdue debt. If you want to get in touch with a real person you need to press 1. Pressing 1 confirms your phone number.

They claim to lower the interest rates on your credit cards, but first you have to give them your credit card number along with the three or four digit code on the back. Further, they ask for your social security number along with other personal identity information. Of course this is a blatant attempt to commit identity theft as well as make fraudulent charges.

This scam company has a confirmed affiliation with:
Premiere Debt Solutions
(407) 219-5960
4207 Vineland Rd, #M14, Orlando, FL 32811

Below are known numbers the company Card Services use so far. These numbers are an ever growing list. Sometimes the call will show as Private Number, or with a bogus caller ID name like British Virgins. If you receive a call from this company, report it to the FTC www.ftc.gov or complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx or call the FTC at 1-877-382-4357. Also, respond to this post and report the number and caller ID name from which they call.

Craigslist Winner!!! Survey Scam

If you try to go to craigslist.org you might get redirected to a website claiming you are the craigslist winner for your area. It's a scam to get your information. The website hosting this survey is called surveryinternet.com. They have been around since April of 2011. This is a similar scam to the guessology cram scam from a few weeks ago where facebook users were redirected to participate in a fake facebook survey. The page will look something like this:


Note the fine print at the bottom : This is an advertisement. This website is not sponsored by or affiliated with Craigslist. Participation required.

Yet they use the craiglist name and claim your have won a prize for going to the craigslist site. Making it look like craigslist has sanctioned their scam. Just another survey phishing scam, folks. Also, if you try to redirect from the survey to another website you'll see this:

Don't click on "OK" just exit out of your browser window and open a new one.
