[We want to thank you Call us at 877-830-6723 for your 100 dollar gift card Gift ID 319 Txt Stop to remove] This message was texted to me from 302-339-3786 (DE Area code) I called the 877 number and was informed I would receive a $100 dollar walmart gift card then he corrected himself and said it would be a $100. gift card and $150. gas credit for visiting a web site for the past 6 months and filling out a survey. When I asked which web site he could not give me that information. When I asked to speak to a manager he stated that there was noone available for a half hour. I informed him that the number he called was on the do not call list and would like the number removed. He called back from the following number 213-289-5573(CA Area code) to be sure he had the correct number to remove.
I think that's a phishing scam to get your debit info. They record their calls, too. You can hear the beep in the background. Hang up and don't ever say yes or agree to anything since they doctor the recordings. AND DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFO. If it sounds too good to be true...
I got a text from (941-284-8164) on 8/27/11 at 9:23am telling me that I had won a $100 Target Gift card and to call (877-327-9540) to get the details. I called and ws told that I had filled out a survey online and was picked to get this free gift card. I submit entries at Publishers Clearing House for their sweepstakes and one of the options aside from buying a magazine subscription is to take part in online surveys, but I never do or have. I asked the woman on the phone who she was calling from, what company and she told me discount coupons. I asked if they were affiliated with PCH and she said yes. She then told me that my gift card could be for target, Lowes, Kroger's and a few other merchants, but that I had to send $4.95 for the shipping and handling. I told her I would call back as I was on my way to a doctor's appt. At 10:30 on the same day, 9/23/11 I got a call which I did not pick up from "SDS INBOUND" (213-289-5573). I Googled this # and it came up with a list of reviews, one of which I saw referring to winning a free gift card. So, I decided to post this for anyone who gets a text or call from this "outfit" and to beware I think it is a scam and possibly a way for your identity to be stolen.
This number has called my cell phone repeatedly. I generally do not answer calls that are not identified in my contacts. After a number of such calls where they did NOT leave a message, I answered a call and no one responded to my "hello". There were more calls subsequent to the one I answered.
