18002927508 – Care Credit

I paid for my wisdom teeth extraction with this card over 5 years ago, and I was able to pay off the balance within a few months. However, they continue to call me daily from the number 18002927508, leaving me helpless. I therefore called the Care Credit customer service line at (866) 893-7864. They claimed that they may have called to inquire about your intentions to use it in the future. They cautioned against phishing emails and spoof calls as well.

When you receive a call from a debit collection agency, always listen to them as they may have important information about your account, but if you feel suspicious, never share your information and always report it to Care Credit via their website or email. Debt collectors can call from any number, including VOIP phone numbers, which reduces their expenses. There are some distinctions between scammer calls and legitimate calls.

1. Scammers always make a large promotional offer, such as “pay $30 only from your debt balance of $200 USD.”
2. Scammers always require personal information, such as credit card numbers.

3. Scammers use robo-calls and software applications to make random calls to thousands of potential customers, and they occasionally reach the intended recipient.

Is this a legitimate call from a debt collector?

1. Debt collection agencies never call like spammers and send reminders via robo-calls to only the targeted customers because they do not want to waste their time calling non-existing customers.

2. They will never request personal information because they do not need it and already have it.

Even though I don’t have a card with this company and owe nothing, phone number 18002927508 keeps calling me and acting like a con artist. They made an effort to persuade me to divulge personal data.
