800-669-8488

Caller ID says SEARS CREDIT, but I don't have a Sears account. Spammers.

scumbag scammer phishing or a phishing scammer scumbag who wants your personal information- they use more than one phone number

On 12/28/2017 at 11:03 am my cell phone received a call from 800-669-8488 and there was no one on the other line. I hung up after 6 secs and saved the number in my contact list. I redialed it later and got a recording reportedly from "Sears Credit Card Services" asking me to say or enter my account number. I haven't used a Sears card in close to 10 years. Then the recording repeatedly asked me to say or enter the primary card holders nine digit social security number. Instead I said, "SCAMMER", "SPOOFER", "FCC" and the call was quickly transferred to a man speaking perfect English. He answered saying, "Ya, thanks for calling Sears credit services". "My name is Tim". "I'm located in North Carolina and may I have your Sears credit card number please?" I told him that I didn't have a Sears card and wondered why I am getting calls. He said that it sounds like someone is calling pretending to be Sears. I find it odd that Sears or anybody in their right mind would ask you for your nine digit SS # over the phone.

Wanted to thank all the people who take the time to write about their experiences.  Missed this call.  Called back, said it was Sears credit card services.  Haven't had a Sears CC for about 15 yrs.    Blocked the number!!

Don't pick up the phone if I don't recognize the number. If they are legit, they'll leave a message.

They called at 5 am. Auto robo call for credit card. I blocked them

This call has been "incoming" since 11:30 am now it is 4:00 pm. Can't decline it or shut it off though I haven't answered.

Caller ID: TOLL FREE CALL.

This number called the office yesterday after I left for the day. There was no message waiting when I arrived this morning.

On the 3rd call I got from them I answered and got a robodialer. It claimed to be from a credit finance company and promised to lower my APR. So I talked pressed 1 to see what kind of scammer I was dealing with and got a gentlemen with a thick Indian accent who I've probably talked to back when the Microsoft Windows phishing scam was still going. I asked him which of my cards he was calling about. He got flustered and hung up after straight up called him a scammer.

Comes up as Sears credit card.  We don't shop at Sears and haven't for at least 40 yrs.  Can't imagine anyone wanting a credit card from them.  Assuming this is really Sears, would they stoop this low as to harass people with phone calls?

I was told I could lower my rates by 15% and receive a credit limit increase , on my credit card i asked 4 times what is the name on the account they told me my name funny thing is I don't believe in banks or credit cards so I have never had any kind of account like that my credit report days my is 0 I have exactly no credit to speak of I always pay for everything in Cash

They are apparently spoofing a real Sears number but not calling from it. I blocked the number.

caller appears to be a scammer trying to collect credit card numbers and personal information, claiming to offer lower interest rates on existing cards

Get calls from this # all the time...say they are from AT&T credit card....he wanted my card number and social number...told him I do not have an AT&T credit card (there is no such thing) and he hung up on me.  Stop the madness

Scam offer to lower credit card interest rates.

Just called, left no message. Now blocked after reading these.

scam - used abusive language when I asked him not to call anymore

Bless your heart!  Can I blow a whistle in their ear?  If I do, will  I get in trouble?  What the hell.  It would be worth it to put as many of the degenerates out of business.

This is a SCAM ROBOCALL!!!
NOT Sears as others have stated.
Don't fall for these fake callers people, always call the number on your credit card & never give info out to those calling you.

Scam - claiming to lower your credit card interest rate. Asked the agent to remove my number and good luck with his scamming. Agent promptly hung up on me.
