Just before I retired 15 years ago, I got heavy into debt with credit cards. Mostly fixing up my house to sell on retirement. I had a call from a debt consolidation company and he knew what credit cards I had and the amounts of approximately of what I owed. We talked a good fifteen minutes and I was ready to consolidate them when he asked for a credit card number. I wasn’t going to give him a number, I expected him to send something in the mail. He got so mad….I mean just angry as all ‘’get out’‘. It was then I realized he was trying to scam me. How he had so much of my information, I don’t know. I was just glad I knew not to give a stranger my credit card number.
