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.
They call me on my work # 2 to 3 times a month. It is always a pushy guy with a heavy accent. I have taken to ignoring the call (thanks to caller id) or telling them I am not available - I never answer the phone with my name so they have no idea how they are talking to. The company name normally shows up as AVA, but I think a few months ago, the name was different. They likely change names often.
This caller calls several times a day. They never leave a message. It is very annoying and I would like for them to stop calling. When I see the number I do not answer the phone either.
I too have rec'd these calls from 201-257-4421. I did answer once and he said he had only the last 4 digits on my charge card after I asked him how he got my phone number (he said from a credit card purchase online; I then I asked what credit card then asked for the number). I immediately said he was involved in a scam and should find another job right away. I said he was obviously a foreigner and perhaps he did not know the laws of this country and he could get into great trouble. He immediately hung up though I am still receiving the calls (that I don't answer). My number is totally unlisted as I don't have phone under my name but he used my name. He said he got it all from a delivery due to a charge card purchase online (he got my name, phone number, delivery address and last 4 digits of my charge card from that purchase). I have cancelled that charge card. I do order online frequently but will stop. Where do we report this type of activity, the Attorney General of New Jersey? If he can get all this information, anyone can, right?
I've received several calls from this number but haven't answered until yesterday (by accident). I have call waiting and, while on the line with someone else, I answered an incoming call and it was this company. The gal had an Indian accent and said she was calling to thank me for using my credit card for so long and "for being such a loyal long-time customer." I, too, was offered a $25 gas card and some other "free" things and was told there was just a $1 shipping fee. I asked several times what company she worked for but I couldn't understand her reply. I told her to please not send me anything and that I had to go because I was on the other line. Today I see on my called ID history that they've called three times.
