The name of the company is Platinum One. They are a marketing company. They randomly called me one day telling me I was getting rewards for using my card. I almost got them confused with my Wachovia Possibility Rewards because they did verify the last 4 of my debit card number. The guy was talking so fast to the point I wasn't fully understanding what he was saying, so I asked him to slow down and explain to me what the call was in reference to.He said they obtain the last four digits of your card number through one of their sister companies (and FORTUNATELY, they don't give the name of the company you used your card at to protect your privacy. LAME EXCUSE). They offer you free gifts but then sign you up for a subscription to their program in which they take money out of your account monthly. When you try to call back you get a busy signal. TO SUM IT ALL UP: To any one who receives a call from these people, just ask them to place you on their "Do Not Call List", this is a marketing scam. After I told the guy I was not interested, he rudely says, "thank you for wasting thirty minutes of my time'.
Here is the story about this they called me today at 5:08 and well they claim that there are Platinum One or something so hell they got my last 4 digits of my debit card thats fine. So i just went along with it and yeah i got interested They offered me a $120.00 gas card which i think its pretty good anyways they said they were going to charge me $1 for this BS trial membership and i can keep the gas card. so i said okay, send it. Now am heavily checking my bank statement if this is true i will get the "gas card" and call the bank and tell them to cancel my card and send me a new one. so i mean if its true that i do get a "gas card" good if not hell i just cancel my debit card and am good to go. pretty much sure they got my info from some where so eh!! anyways i do buy a lot of things so i don't know. i will come back to the this site and keep you guys updated on this BS!! i do think its a scam but am gonna try because if it works then hell i get free gas. if not then too bad they can charge the bank i will just act like i never signed up for it and dispute it. Simple!!
this number has been calling me for three days straight. i finally picked up and the guy told me i was going to receive a gift card in the mail. he verified my name, home address, and the last four numbers of my debit card. i said no thank you and hung up. TODAY i check my bank statement and i have a charge from a different number for $3.00 from some fake company in texas. SCAM!! bank has issued me a new card and they are disputing the charge. very annoying!!!
