Yesterday, several unknown number showed up on my phone. I wasn't home then, but I was this morning and answered. Gal with nasal, southern accent said she was calling from Publisher's Sweepstakes Centre and my name had been entered into a draw for $25,000.00. Immediately asked for my year of birth. I asked her what comapny is this? She replied that she had told me what company she was calling from! I asked her where this company was from and she exhaled and told me they had offices in the US and Canada and what was the year of my birth. I told her no thanks but to have a nice day. As I was putting the phone down, I could hear her quite loudly saying "mam, I just asked for your year of birth!" She needs to take a course in customer service.
Against my better judgement I decided to go along with the offer from this company, The Publishers Sweepstakes Center, and to my surprise they did everything they said they would do. The deal is you are entered in to a 1 million dollar sweepstakes, you pay for shipping on one weekly magazine ($2.88) for a 2 year service, and you get 2 monthly magazines along with it for free. I also received a mini-vacation for participating and it was great. They do take all the money out as one lump sum of $276.00 which I was not real thrilled about but it is donated to the United Charity Association for battered and abused women and children and is tax deductible. I am very satisfied with this company and what they are doing for the women and children.
just got a call from this phone number and instantly called to change my card number hsbc fraud is doing an investigation hopefully this doesnt happen to anyone else, and this bob guy is saying its for real when he is prob one of the guys doing the calling to make it sound legit
I had a call from this number and went with the deal to see if it was a scam and they did follow through with everything. There are a lot of scams out there but this is not one of them. I for one was glad to help out the charity as I do so many others.
I received the same call and went with the program to see what is was all about. I got the packet in a timely fashion with my vacation in it. Everything seems to be fine as far as I can tell. They may have been working from home, I checked into it and the company does do that. They do hire people to call from home on their behalf. I got my first magazine today (after the full 10 weeks they say it might take) and I'm satisfied that the company is not a scam. To those of you that are claiming they are a scam.... did you even give them a chance?
I received a phone call from Rebecca saying she was calling to tell me that she represented the
Publishers Sweepstakes Center. She was informing me that as a preferrred customer I had been entered in a pool for a drawing. The amount: $25,000. The date of the drawing: 12/27/2011
She verified my address and said I would be receiving a diamond watch [ diamond at the 12 o'clock point.
She then said I was qualified to receive 3 magazines for a year. I declined that offer and told her I didn't want to subscribe to any magazine. She said she was going to connect me to the magazine office and I could tell them that.
When that "office" came on line they immediately disconnected me.
