I received a telephone give the name from someone (user unknown on the Caller ID). A recorded voice say "Hello. This is Credit Card Services. You have presently qualified to receive an interest rate of … on all of your credit cards. If you are not interested, press 6, and if you are interested press 9." When a girl get on the phone with me, I asked her if she worked for one of my credit card companies of a different company. She replied that they work near all the credit card companies MasterCard, Visa. And I told her I would not distribute her any of my credit card numbers, so she hung up on me.

Nobody works for ALL credit card companies. If they if truth be told worked for any or YOUR credit card issuers, they would already have your sketch numbers.

Good for you for not falling for the scam. Telemarketers are not allowed by imperative to have an unknown company ID. Never give your credit card number to someone who call you that you don’t know.
