I told the woman to stop calling me and I was going to put her in jail. I don't think English is her primary language but I think I put a scare into her. I am going to report these scumbags to the FTC again.
Yeah, I have gotten over 6 calls from this number over the course of 3 days at random times and I refused to answer any of them until today and found out it was another scheme for gas cards. The caller has a heavy Indian accent and spoke so fast you could barely understand him. It is a New Jersey area code and but couldn't find out the company because he refused to tell me. I guess being on the National Do Not Call registry means nothing just as I had thought.
Well actually, I received this call but didnt answer because I was at work. I keep my phone out of my pocket and it was on vibrate in my desk drawer so I didnt even hear it. When I call it back, it says "The the inbox is full so it cannot accept anymore messages." Since I usually dont get calls from numbers I dont already have in my phonebook, I googled this number already assuming it was another scam of some sort of. I registered my phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry but I guess that doesnt work. If anyone has some more information as to what this number is,please update us...Thanks
I received two back to back phone calls from this number. Since I did not recognize the number (or the area code), I googled it and believe it or not NOTHING came up. I don't answer calls from numbers that I do not know. I just want the calls to stop. I, too, am on the Do Not Call Registry and this is the only number that have gotten any calls from that I don't recognize.
This person with a heavy indian accent called and thanked me for using my credit card for so long and 'for being such a loyal long-time member", he then offered me a $25 gas card, $125 gas voucher, and some sort of discount card for a shipping fee of only one dollar. The miniscule shipping fee alone put up a huge red flag. Why charge $1 for shipping when you're giving away $150 in gas, plus the discount card? I then began to ask a few questions about how this came to be and the process as a whole. With each question, he seemed to get more and more agitated and nervous. I asked him what address my package would be shipped to, and he replied "the address that your credit card is registered under." I asked him what address that was, and it was indeed that address that I currently live at, but I have never once registered a card under this particular address. I refused the package, and he quickly hung up. I then called the number back, and I got a recording that said "you've reached the marketing department, all our representatives are currently busy, leave a message with your name and telephone number and we'll return your call as soon as possible." THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM AND THEY NEED TO BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED!!!
Same story here as those I've read... I get 5 or 6 calls from this number every day, but didn't answer (at first because I was at work, and later because I thought it might be an angry ex). Anyway, I googled it and found this site, and now I'm glad I didn't pick up. If he calls back, I'm going to tell him to get a real job.
