Called and offered a free trip for four and all I had to do was give them my expiration date. Wouldn't give me a call back number where they could be reached. First he was asking about a Visa, which we don't have, my wife told him that, then said he works for Mastercard and Visa. Thats when i took the phone.Very thick east Indian accent, hard to understand. One thing he did understand is that he wasn't giving me his contact info before I gave him my expiration date, to which he said "Its just an expiry date, thats all". I told him if I won a trip, send the info in the mail.Hind sight, I should have given a bogus expiration date to see if I could get a contact number which I assume I definitely would not.

Called, and left no message in the morning. Called again later, and never replied when I picked up the phone.

asked for my parents hung up when told them to talk to my older brother

found a reverse lookup that says its from irving TX and yes i got the east indian accent and they tryed to get info off me to. that will never happen.

Just got a call from these buzzards.. I did not answer .. it is now on block

called at 7 in the morning, no message and when i called back it was an english accent message manager

This number called me and asked specifically for me using my First and Last name. I said yes this is <My name here>. click, they hung up

jesus, who the hell are these people?

We just got a call from this number with the same description as the messages I just read.  I am very annoyed that I am getting calls from Texas when I live in Canada.  I would really like to know who is selling my number to these people.  We refused to give any information until he identified himself and he again asked for visa verification.  Apparently "NO" isn't good enough and he hung up.

called me this afternoon, knew my first and last name and wanted to know the expire date on my visa.  he said he was calling from Visas head office.  He wouldnt tell me what visa I had, he just wanted my expire date.  I told him I wasnt telling him any info until he told me what bank my visa was with and started rhyming off different banks.  I got the phone number told him I was reporting him and he hung up..  he had a strong accent.  reported him to phone busters!!

Just had the call myself, they said they were calling from VISA, had my name and my address, I didn't let him get past that point. I told him I knew he was a fraud and to have a nice day!

I had a call very similar a few weeks ago saying they were from Bell and giving away free cell phones, all you had to do was provide them with your address. I told them if they were from Bell and knew that I was a customer they would have that on file and I don't provide my personal information over the telephone.

Both times I got hung up on, the scary thing is there are people out there that fall for these things.

Have reported both to phone busters

I got a call from them in Nova Scotia Canada this morning. They were trying to tell me that they were my Visa company and that I won a trip for two to florida.I hung up......Then called my Visa company and gave them the phone number.

I have received at least half a dozen calls from people purporting to be calling from Visa or Mastercard.  They mumble, have heavy accents and are deliberately vague about which cards they are calling about.  When I ask which issuing bank they are talking about, they hang up.

Incredibly, I got 2 calls in a row this morning, one purporting to be from a Capital One Mastercard (I don’t have one) and another one 2 minutes later purporting to be from Visa – they used my name and address, which I’m sure they picked up from the telephone book.  

These are clearly phishing scams trying to get info that they can use for fraud or identity theft.  Hang up, block the number if you are able, and report to the authorities.

Calls in morining - no one there, leaves no message. Dallas Texas area code.

They called @ 8:20 am Ontario time and we just let it ring. Very odd time for a call and the caller ID was very strange that we didn't bother answering. They didn't leave a message either. The number was: 1-972-607-4047 and the caller ID said: V03080820330003

There is no need to be NICE to these people, they're criminals.  I actually started to talk with a P*** accent back to him and mock him a bit.  Further info on this number is that it's based in IRVING, TEXAS and he was calling me in Ontario, Canada. At least he wasn't a "redneck p***"  That would have been funny to listen to.  I contacted TD VISA to report the incident and they said "they would never ever ask for your CVV # over the phone."  They already have it anyway on file, they issued you the card.  

DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFO OVER THE PHONE, DO NOT DO SURVEYS, DO NOT LET DEBT COLLECTORS BULLY YOU.

Strange area codes calling you is the first tip off, next listen to their voice and background, try and stump them and see how quick they are.  Really, oh where is your office located, what city? the address? DO NOT VOLUNTEER ANY PERSONAL INFO.

SCAM, SCAMMERS This jack***, rude f****ng P*** called me trying to get me to give up my VISA PIN number or CVV code on the back of my card.  I had a brand new one and hadn't actually even activated it yet, so I knew something was up. I've had identity theft before so my guard was certainly up. He asked me to give him the 1-800 # on the back of the card, which I did, then he tried to ask me for my CVV which I told him I wasn't giving him. He tried quoting me the TD Head Office address stating that he worked there....blah blah... which is posted online, anybody could find that.  He threatened to cancel my card.  I laughed and said go ahead buddy, it's not even valid yet! He was persistent until I told him to f****ff and I look forward to finding his fraudulent a***s office and that I was going to kick the s*** out of him if I find it and send him back to his homeland..then he hung up. Go figure.

First call from this number today.  No voice mail, odd ID, so I blocked it.  Caller ID is V03010920110009.

I live in Alberta Canada and have got 8 calls from this number.  They do not answer after I have said hello 3 or 4 times so I hang up.  I do not know how to make this stop!!!  If I let it go to voice mail there is just silence for about 40 seconds.

Just received a call from this number, told them to remove me from their call list and the caller said they didn't understand, I asked to speak to their supervisor until they hung up on me. It was one of those lower interest rates on your credit cards to prime or some kind of scheme.

exact same at Edith 8-Feb 2010...were very rude when I asked them not to call, they kept telling me to go get my credit card statement.  Creepy!!!!

I have gotten 4 calls from this number in the past week. No one is ever there, usually disconnects with a click. Pressing "0" does nothing.

got a call from this number. They identified themselves as investigation for visa and mastercard and wanted to verify my address, postal code, expiry dates on all my cards. I asked for company name & told them I thought it was fraud & they hung up on me. Tried calling # back & got a recording but no company name.

Under no circumstances DO NOT GIVE OUT INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

got a call from this number, looked it up and its fron texas, i live in canada, i said hello 3 times and got no reply so hung up

Just got a call from this #. I let it ring for a good minute before they finally gave up. If they call again i'm going to do what opiwan did, lol!

got 2 calls from this number with no reply to hello. then got 2 calls right after with out of aria on id . when i asked what the #&%* they wanted they stopped calling

Called twice . when no one replied to hello ,I hung up.

The caller knew that there are 2 Mrs.Hardy's at my # but hung up as soon as we asked who it was

No answer, so I hung up before any automated message could come on.

Left no message
