I thought I was calling Ozarka cust. service but got this scam co. by misdialing 800 instead of 866-the last part of the # is the same as Ozarka. They claim to have a $100 gist card for being a loyal customer for just $2.95...I know it was dumb to give my card # but I truly thought I was talking to Ozarka. I got my card cancelled and now am being harrassed by these people. Can you believe these people have the nerve to call *me* and try to scam AGAIN?! I am enjoying quizzing them on ethics and cursing/screaming at them.
