holy shi-

I just got a called form them. and i'm lucky that they got a lady which heavy indonesian accent to call me. which sent alarm bells ringing.

what's even more alarming is that she even asked for my credit card expiry date for so called verification. to verify what, i'm not sure.

after exhausting her time explaining the benefits (which doesn't benefit me at all, since i don't shop at those places), i politely declined.


==added==
btw, the call is from a 016-210 XXXX
I thought that call centers would have fix line or "unknown number" shown.

-typo-

I have no qualms about telemarketing. it's their dirty tactic of asking for expiry date for so called verification purpose. that's just one step away form getting full credit card info (the 3 digit number at teh back of the card). can't blame them, the so called discount card sux anyway. whatever offered doesn't interest me at all.

i was lucky that there's no other follow up calls XD

from all the replies here and from my own experience, it's definitely related to credit card holders. especially when those who just got their cards. someone is definitely selling credit card information to Vector Armarda.
