ARA Discover Card Called stating it was Discover Card Villa Park Illinois
This morning i recieved a call from Discover . They said i owed on my account. While on the phone i went on -line and checked my account which was currant.
The person i was speeking to spoke so fast he was barly understandable and i could not get a word in edgewise, He was going on and on about my second account, wanted info on my wife and so on, i finally hung up on him.
So, i was so pissed off to be blunt, i called Discover to find out that,
1. Discover never called me
2. They did have a second account but it was closed in 1998
3. In 1998 they asertained that account was not mine, hence it being closed
4. I am in good standing with Discover
5. Discover stated there was a 3rd party trying to collect on non existant accounts and it was not Discover
6. Discover said to ignore them
Well my phone retained the number that i recieved the call from and i looked it up and it was from some company called ARA collections in Illinois.
I called the number and sure enough it was answered and stated it was ARA.
ARA stated that they were Discover card, they are not, and according to the real Discover card company they would never call first but mail a letter or E-mail
a customer first.
Even though ARA had a lot of personal information ,which concern's me, they are scam artists
If i do hear from them again im going after them as they commited fraud just by stating they were Discover Card Services
