888-498-8835

So I got a call from this number and googled it and got sent here. As the others have said, it started with a pre-recorded message about card-services and something and asked me to verify something. I was then transferred to a lady named Kim and she wanted to update some information of mine. She never asked for my SSN or my acct #.

She then went on to note some history of mine, knowing exactly what type of card/acct I had with BofA, when I first joined, my last payment amount, and somehow knew about a delinquency I had with my HSBC card early this year. She mentioned something about not having any programs available for me (??) and left me with a # to call in case my situation changes in the future.

Not sure what I just discussed with the person, I called the # on the back of my CC - 1 800 732 9194. I spoke to the representative and I told him what just happened (received a call & not too sure if it was fraud or not) and he told me that it was BofA's debt solution branch. They were calling to see sort of gauge my financial status or whatever to see if I would qualify for their debt repayment plan or something over 60 months (lower monthly payment, apr%, etc...

So...seems ok?

I began speaking to the caller then decided it was smart to call the customer service on my BOA cc... when I got through they confirmed that it WAS them calling to talk about lowering my APR or minimum payments or increasing my credit line. Better safe then sorry.

I just got missed call from this.  I called back the number to see who it was and the lady who sounded Indian claimed she was from Bank of America.  But when they answered they new my name and the last 4 of my credit card number without me saying anything!  Does this mean they know my whole number?   They wanted more information to verify but I just hung up cause I know BofA will NEVER ask for any of that stuff.

Just received a phone call from "Card Services" it wanted my zip code so I put a random one and then connected to some lady.  She wanted to verify and update my account, by asking me what my DOB was, I said why if your updating you should have it I am not giving it out.  I said I do not know who you are or claiming to be.  She went on to say she was with BOA so I said great what is the number I can call you back, she gave me this number 8883289458 when asked for her ID# to verify she worked at where she indicated she did not have one.  It was fishy from the start everyone beaware!!!!!

Just called and BOA confirmed it was not them!

lol, Eddie.. you're a moron. These guys called me too and left no voicemail. I called this morning to see who it was and a man with a real deep vioce answered "card services". Im going to call them tommorow and mess with them a little. Give them some fake info and see what happens?

I got a call from 888-498-8835 at 7:45PM PST.  I didn't recognize the number and was at my computer so I Googled it and found this web page.  At first I thought is was BofA and I have no issues with BofA so I assumed it was a sales call.

Turns out this is a scam call... (is there a difference?)

I get this number calling me two sometimes three times a day. I want to thank one and all for schooling about this scam!!!!!!

Repeated calls. No details offered or provided.

Got that annoying call, hard to understand that I am not backed up on any bills. Everyone knows they are not going to call you to lower your interest rate, gosh, they are making money from it, why stop. This number is just a load of crap.

Yep, THIS IS A LIGIT CALL. After I received a call from 8884988835, I looked it up online & found this post.  I then called the BOA contact # on my credit card to ask about the number & they reported that it IS their DEBT SOLUTION DEPT. They were calling to let me know I was approaching my max limit because until then I had never gotten the account that high before. I then told her I had been laid off from my job & she set up a payment plan for me with BOA. If you are unsure of who is calling you, then just don't answer then call the BOA number on the back of you credit card & they will confirm. Again, this number IS NOT a SCAM!

I just got the very same message and did not return the call.  All our accounts are up to date and I was suspicious because they didn't leave the company name.  Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

They are still at it in december 2009, voice mail claiming "change in status to account".  No ID given in voice mail than "card services"  SMS text back and say something naaasty!

I also received a call this morning from 888-498-8835 and was asked to enter my zip or the last 4 of my SSN.  I called them back at that number and they said they were from Bank of America.  I called Bank of America and they said it was a legit call.  The BoA rep then tried to sell me on a debt repayment plan/consolidation but wasn't able to do anything like reduce my interest rate, etc.

Anyone above claiming this is a legit call is LYING.  This is a scam and anyone claiming otherwise is probably in on it.

I received a call and a voice mail from this number today.  I called it tonight and it said to call back at their regular business hours but didn't give what their regular business hours were, or what company.  I knew then it was bogus.  I decided to google the number and found all of these postings. I'm SO tired of all the scams going on.

Called 12/21/09 and a few earlier dates regarding a disruption in service with no additional information.

I got two of these calls today, second time left a message. There were some musical tones, then something about "card services" and there's been "a change in my card status". No other information given and no reference to any company was provided. I googled the number and found this site, then called Bank of America. They are being inundated with complaints about these guys and their fraud team is working on it. You should report all calls to Bank of America. THIS IS A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION TRYING TO VICTIMIZE YOU. Do not call them back, call Bank of America using the phone number on the back of your card and report these scumbags.

They have called me 3 times today. The last time they left a voice mail saying that it was card services regarding , you guessed it, a change in status. I had googled this number today and read all the comments, so I knew what to expect. I called Bank of America, and unfortunately, the customer service rep was not very helpful, he said he could not guarantee it wasn't from them, but he never even asked the number. So I got the email for the fraud department. I'm blocking this number, if BoA wants to contact me they can send me a letter!
