Type of a scam Credit Cards
I received a call today on my home phone from a man named Mike who shared that he was calling from my insurance company and he could get me a better rate on my automobile insurance and I just needed to give him my credit card to lock in the rate. I immediately hung up on him, but am concerned for those that are on home seclusion that might play into this.

Claimed to be an insurance company that could offer a 35% discount. Kept asking if I am still driving a certain vehicle.
I asked how they knew what I am currently paying. They replied "we actually sent in a request a while ago".
I asked "Sent in a response to who?"
They hung up.

Asked questions and got me to say "yes". I use my cellphone for work so I initially thought it was something work related. Once I said "yes", I realized that it was probably a scam and not work related. However, I realized too late.

They said they were wanting to give me an auto insurance quote. I had recently looked on line for some quotes so was unaware of any problem..
She asked all the usual question, vehicle makes and years etc. which seemed fine. Later she said insurance agents would be calling me to give me quotes did I agree to this and I said yes. She said I did not here that what did you say and I said yes again. She said is that correct did you say yes. Then I released that I had fallen for the scam. No phone number recorded because it was my home home. When I redialed it did not work.

The person started telling me that the call was about my Auto Insurance Premium and about the new laws that enabled people in NC to get lower cost auto insurance. Then asked if I currently had auto insurance. I answered "Yes and I’m not interested in switching insurance". The person immediately hung up. I think this may have been a scam to record me saying Yes.
