I am Canadian, and I've been receiving calls from this number. Obviously I can't add my number to the American "Do not call" registry. Does anyone know of a way to get this to stop? I have been getting calls from a Washington, DC number as well.
In less then a 24 hour period, we have received 7 calls from this number. i never answer numbers that are unfamiliar to us, but my husband picked up the phone the last call and who ever is on the other end disconnected. This is starting to become an annoyance.
These guys are all crooks beware.
Fwrom Toronto Canada. Called claiming to be Publishers Clearance House, saying that I won a Diamond Watch and that I was advancing to the final draw for $25,000.00. That I was also going to receive 3 free Magazines, and I would also receive 3 more Canadian magazines for $4.26 a week, and whenI questioned re cost and titles I was advised that as a preferred customer I would get them for only $11.00 a week, but he could not tell me the titles and repeated the titles of the first 2 of 3 they were going to send me, Readers digest and Canadian living. I would receive a list including American online magazines and I could change the titles any time and remember that free diamond watch (no value or brand known, but he was wearing one). I told them to send me my free watch, magazines and draw ticket, and I would select the magazines I wanted ( you know those unknown titles) and I would then send back by mail my completed invoice (as if, but I can play there game and waste their time too) as I do not give out my card over the phone.
Remember these are all SCAMS if it sounds too good to be true, they ask for payment up front, will not send you info by mail or give you other credible info and contact info etc or allow you to call them back.
Anyone can sell or take orders for magazines on line, If you want a deal on your favorite magazine just go to their web site or a legitimate site and you will usually find your mag at a good deal.
The guy said he was from Publishers clearing center and I was entered into a draw for $25,000 for being a loyal customer to either visa,Mastercard,or American Express. I told him I don't have any of these cards and then he said that I must have a visa/debit card and I said No I don't so he said well then have a good evening... click!! so much for me entered into the "draw" scammer!!!
