Credit Card Drama

I applied for a standard charted credit card via a phone call agent. (sir you are eligible for a card call wale). I wanted a platinum LTF card but she said after submitting the details I am eligible for another card with fixed yearly charges of 350. She told me she would pay me 350 after I received the card. She called back-to-back during office hours. So I blocked her. In the last two days, she has called me from 7 different numbers, at least 20-25 times. Finally, I picked up her call, and she told me that she would have to pay 3000 rupees fine If I won't process my card. She will G-pay me 350.

Should I do the v-KYC?

Each time I get a call I try to entertain them by making up silly reasons such as I need a business loan of ₹5L Crore for building Vande Bharat trains in China or I’m doing MTech or I really need a credit card to pay the bills of other credit cards. 😂 I get a call everyday and I really enjoy responding to them when my code is compiling 😂

If you go ahead with this, keep only Rs. 350 in your account. Use a throwaway account too if possible.

Looks very shady.

I denied a credit card previously but none of them called me again. She has called me at least 20 times.

I get a call from Axis everyday. This Friday I made her say it out loud three times, “XYZ doesn’t need a credit card”. I’m eagerly waiting for her call 😂 once again.

Ignore her, base standard chartered credit card are not really worth it, plus this is shady pro max.

If you still need a stan chartered credit card apply yourself from the bank official website they're offering it LTF for new to bank customers.

Avoid the cc lelo sir phone calls, max spam incoming if you start entertaining them, all users numbers shared among them.

Do other banks do the same say icici or hdfc?I get credit card calls from SC every other minute! It's so frustrating. No matter how many numbers you block, they'll call you with a new number!

AU Bank free credit card scam.

AU Bank offered me lifetime free credit card from their stall in our IT Park cafeteria. I initially denied it. But later on fell for the sad face of salesman and took it. It happened in December 2022. I have not used the credit card yet....
