Hi.. just wantedto share how I was almost scammed out of 300.00 dollars. I kept getting Phone calls From an unknown number.he said thats because he was calling out from a call center.. He said I was pre approved for Metro bank platinum credit card for 7,500.00! He lead me to a website www.metrobank.com.Ph and all looked good. Foreign bank but he represents them in the USA. (how patriotic of him). He gave me a phone number. 1-800-272-9222 as a contact for customer service and I could be helped after I was processed b y entering my ss# instead of a card#.. the REFUNDABLE processing fee . 300.00 wired is the quickest way of course.
When he called me again I told him I wasnt interested of course but I just wanted to find out whos 800 number he was using.. I paid five bucks to phone reverse service..the phone belongs to Summit credit union in Greensboro, NC. So I checked out their website. Its listed under contact info for lost or stolen cards...I sent them an E-mail about this..I told them they may want to consider changing their
recording to identify their company so creeps like him cant use use it to scam people who are more trusting than me. . Stay safe all !!
