866-482-4451

A recording of a lady with a clipped British accent telling me to call World National Bank at this number. She adds, "This is not a sales call." I called it today just out of curiosity and got another recording that said "Thanks for your interest in our credit card program, however this program is no longer active at this time. Please call back at a later time and thanks again for your interest."
Interest in their credit card program indeed! Pfft.

This call came to my cell phone while I was at work.

A voice recording of a woman with English/British accent speaking very fast states that she is calling from ?? World National Bank??? regarding my account and it is not a sales call and tells me to call 1-866-482-4451. So of course I called the number and it states that they appreciate my interest in their credit card however they are not yet set up to accept my call. Who are these people and what exactly are they up to?

I actually looked up www.Worldnationalbank.com and found a website but no contact phone numbers. The website is under construction as well. I am anxious to see if I have a message on my home ohone as well.

I have this same voicemail left at my work desk over and over again.  When I call I get the same "program not active" message.

I am 78 years old and have demenia and on a fixed income.  My daughter and son-in-law help
me with my stuff, bills etc I do not want this number to call me any more.

Thanks

Amy, you probably scrolled past the original post but this is a scam that's been around for about 7 years.  You get a call from World Bank or some other lending institution to tell you you've been selected to receive a grant or a loan.  All you have to do is send them some money up front and they'll send you a check.  It's commonly called the advanced fee loan scam.

As for stopping the calls, well, these people are criminals so the only person who can stop the calls is you.  Just keep blocking them and don't answer numbers you don't recognize.  At least you were smart enough not to fall for it.  They steal millions from less savvy victims.

I called the number back from my work line, and it is Commenity Bank. I checked online, and YUP I forgot to pay my Peebles bill. I paid my balance off and didn't get another call.

I would have an easier time believing that you called this number to order a chicken pot pie.

So, you claim you identified the number, and the caller to your satisfaction ...
THEN you searched the internet to find a call complaints site / call identification site, because you were satisfied?

Awww ... tell us another one!

Hi Shill. No one is falling for your [***] scam on here. BTW Get a real job and stop scamming others of their hard earned money.

Yes we all have heard of this criminal organization calling and harassing people.  they think they are above the law.  As a matter of fact, I found this printed on another one of their many spoofed number (why would they have to do that if they were "legit"?)

They must be paying big bucks to the BBB for that.

Isn't peebles a kids cereal?   Maybe he meant he had breakfast ..

That has to be it.

Correction, Peebles was the name of the pet shop on Magilla Gorilla.

I just got a call too. It is from the clothing stores Peebles/Goody's about credit card accounts. I forgot to pay my bill and seeing someone else post about Peebles made me remember. I paid it off and got no more phone calls.

YES! You're correct! Paid it off and they quit calling!
