Phone Scam

Hardly anyone has my cell number. When it rings, if I don't recognize the caller, I don't answer it. I had a couple calls from (917) 793-5694 and they left a message once.

The message was that they could consolidate my loan balances at 1.5% interest and that I should have all my account information together and call them back right away, since it is a limited time offer from a non-profit agency.

Needless to say, I didn't call them back. I happen to only have balances on 0% interest accounts right now. So, they obviously don't know anything about me and they are just making random calls.

Found this on Google: Phone Spam: 917-793-5694
"Hi, this is Cathy with financial freedom. You may recall receiving a letter saying you've been approved to consolidate your credit cards down to as low as 01.5% interest rate. This is not a new loan you've already been approved by a certified non profit agency. So if you can please have your statements ready when you call. My number is 1(800) 706-6208. Again, my name is Cathy and you can reach me at (800) 706-6208 until 10 tonight. Thanks and Have a great day."

Looks like the same speech, different day.

I got the call yesterday and the message was either a recording or said by a deaf person.
