Spam text message received on Verizon cell phone, allegedly from 201-736-8425, despite my number being on the Do Not Call registry. Text reads:
"As Thank You for visiting
our site, a $25 Wal-Mart
Gift card and $25 Visa Gift
Card CAN BE Yours.
Call 1-866-869-2132
Or visit LAPTOP33.com
2end reply stop"
I never give out my cell number for any commercial purpose or on any web site. Will report these numbers at donotcall.gov
They get really mad when you ask them why they are trying to scam people...she asked me why I wasted my money calling them back if I knew they were a scam....then she spoke really fast with a foreign accent. I called another time and asked the guy which websites I had visited to win the gift card and he told me they had thousands and websites and when I asked him to be specific he got very angry.
Thanks for sharing your experience and saving the rest of us from wasting our time on junk/scam text messages! I received the very same message on a business cell phone that I never list as my contact number.
201-736-8425 - unsolicited text message. 'Thank you for visiting our site. Call 877-704-6317 for a $20.00 Walmart card. Of yeah, I really think I'm going to call. Why do these scam artists get away with this?
