I started getting phone calls from people asking me if it was ok to charge things on my card and ask if wanted to lower my rates. i told them no and asked how they got my number they said from a list. i mailled a money ordder for my payment that got lost so i money grammed another payment and was told after they received that they would take off the late charges now they will not do it and still want more money before they do it. i also received a letter from thanking me for my request to lower the rates i never requested int first place and of course it was refused and i never even gave anyone else permission to request it.

I work for a reputable large credit card company...not this one.

That said, the issue of being called by people with your account info is not unique to Merrick Bank.
People gain bits and pieces of your info, then put it together and contact you pretending to offer a lower interest rate in order to get you to provide more personal information. DON'T DO IT. But I wouldn't blame this on Merrick Bank. Just because the person calling you said he got your info "from a list" does not mean that Merrick Bank gave that person the list or sold it to them. That is not a logical conclusion. My two cents.
