I got a call from a company called Adea . Only the phone number was different. 773-466-6752 . They said I won a 100 gift card that could be used at all sorts of stores . She named them off and they were all major stores anyone would want to shop at. I was very sceptical and kept asking questions . The lady sounded so nice ect... When she got done explaing I won it as an appreciation from major retailers or something crazy like that ,she then took my basic info . The crazy thing was I would need to pay a shipping charge for the gift card. I told her it was a scam , of course she kept saying it wasn't and telling goofy reasons why they had to have winners pay this fee. I said you can send people a 100 dollar gift card and then they have to pay that . I told she wouldn't get my bank info , then she was saying you can but it on a pre paid visa or something like that. I told her I thought they were going around getting all these people to pay shipping fees and ending up with nothing . It was a small fee but it probably adds up . She said she'd let me think about it and she would call back. It ruined my lunch time . I would of been nice to win something instead of almost being scammed .
So iam on the national do not call list also have an unlisted phone number and I still get calls from this number 3 to 4 times a day . What can a person do to stop the calls ?
What I do is save these numbers each time they come in as junk contact and block them. It took about 2 months and about 45 entries but I get no strange calls until today and I blocked that number too!!
Hope it helps ; )
Just received call from 205-378-2686, they didn't leave a message. I tried to call back and got classical music with "your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line for the next available agent".
