This number called me to enter me in a drawing for cash and prizes for being a "preferred" customer of Visa, Mastercard, etc. I was then given options of getting magazines for free. I am not sure if this was a scam or not. I declined the magazine offer and did not give out any information.
This number has continued to call me at work without leaving a voicemail. So I called them back from a cell phone number they have never called before. I proceeded to say they have been trying to reach me and am very interested in what they have to offer. He asked if i was Mr. (blank) from which my mom's name shows up on my caller ID. I said yes of course how did you get my name? He said I was a finalist to win something (a car cash or trip) because I am a preferred card holder of Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express (for anyone who does not know this these are the only 4 credit card companies in the country so everyone has one of these 4.) I have a student bank account with a visa card. I pretended to believe his BS and said I am really interested if you can answer one question..What's my first name? he said I just have your last name. (But he said i am a finalist and my name was submitted because of my preferred card?) I also asked him why this number shows up as a scam when you google it he said that he had to go and hung up. They are either trying to steal Identities or trying to generate info to sell as leads in advertising either way they have nothing to offer you. If they call you answer the phone and mess with them they will immediately stop calling you
This number has called several times ; leaving a threatening message about a debt and they are collecting. The voice was unprofessional and it sounded as though they were "chewing." There was only one voice mail. Repeated calls.
