(202) 242-5257 - February 10th, 2015 5:19pm
I got a recorded call, "Hello, this is Heather..." and it was only a very generic claim to be from "[my] credit card company" and claiming that nothing was wrong but that it was "imperative" (ha!) that I call back. They could lower my interest rate. Press 1 for more info or press 2 to be taken off. I pressed 2, so we will see if they call a***n.
