Asian lady, bad English, called my longtime cell number saying I won a free trip, I think, and mentioned my town location which was off by about 20 miles. I said nothing is free and take me off the call list and she kept talking. I repeated the take me off call list 4 times and said my next comment would be rude. She said "you not interested" and I repeated to not call again. She hung up. Scam
Posted a sale on Craigslist... started getting calls from this number, went through the rigamarole trying to understand the broken English... apparently needed my credit card I said I do not have one, again hard to understand but was trying to ask if I even had an expired one, I said no, never had a credit card a day in my life and then got 'oh sorry.. cannot extend this gift' and suddenly pieces of what she'd been saying started to make sense, something along the lines of time share and get you credit card number scam...
Got a call from this number and an asian male voice who I couldn't understand, stated he was from R.I. and I asked him to repeat 3 times where and who he was from, then dead silence. So I looked up this number and found several comments. Seems like their scam uses men and women for their phony presentations. I had just posted ads on Craiglist and now I figured out where they got my phone no.. My advice is to never answer your cell phone unless you know who it is or let them leave you a message. I got another phone call last week from 306-633--9168 and when I tried to call it back, wouldn't let me threw. Coincidence? Think not, maybe same people, different scams. BEWARE!
I just received a call from this number on my cellphone from a heavily accented man claiming to be "Mike" who said that he was offering me a VIP invitation from Direct Buy. Direct Buy endlessly sends me SPAM via email which can usually block, but having a call on my cellphone during dinnertime is a gross intrusion.
Sounds like a real scam - wants all of your personal information - said they were from Direct Buy - foreign woman - kept calling me - finally I asked to be put on no call list - she said "why not take advantage of a great deal moron" - then said "FXXX U" and hung up! I will be sure to report them!
