The number called then hung up before I could answer. I called back and it was a recording from something garbled, it sounded like "Very Import Tubs" then said to leave a message if I wanted to hear back from them or push 9 to remove myself from their calling list.
These are the same people who call the 801-823-2027 number that people have been complaining about. They said they were from VISA and was calling to offer you a gas card for special customers. They have the last four digits of your credit card. They also had my last address and wanted my new address so they could send me a $60 gas card. I said I don't have a car and don't know anyone who has a card so I don't need it. Had the feeling it was a scam but wasn't sure until I read all those other posts.
This may be entirely unrelated but since I was feeling uneasy they had all this info about me, I checked my credit card statement. I had a $89 charge from AutoVantage from a card I hadn't used in 6 months. They said they mailed me a promotion and I mailed it back and was automatically enrolled - how did they get my credit card info?!??! Sooo frustrating!!!
Ironically, I received this same call today about 3 times. The phone number is a recording asking you to remove your name from their calling list if you aren't interested. I also received a check in the mail for $10.00 for the AutoVantage program. The catch is if you cash the check they will charge your credit card for 149.99 and after the first year 159.99. So if anyone out there reads this, do not cash anything you receive from AutoVantage.
They said they were calling to offer me because I had recently made a VISA purchase from their client, but wouldn't identify themselves or their client. They had the last four digits of my credit card and my current address and said they were sending me a $60 gas card.
They have been calling me for about 5 days straight I finally picked up the phone and they said they had a $100 gas card for me and I told them the card was no longer valid and they hung up. How can businesses get away with doing things like this?
a man called from 201-334-9162 and said i had made a purchase with one of their selected customers. they said i would be receiving a $60.00 gas card in the mail. they had the last four digits of my credit card number and they told me i would also be getting a brochure in the mail that i could "throw away or burn" if i didnt want it. the man was very rude. he told me that a $2.00 shipping charge would be assessed to my card. i told him i was not interested and he told me i would be "stupid" not to accept the offer. my father in law got on the phone to tell him not to call again and the guy just laughed at him. this is totally a scam!
