They called multiple times today. I answered, the standard message about free gas cards, for $2.99 shipping & a $29.99/month few for a buying club. They gave me the last four numbers of a "Visa" card. I don't have those numbers.... they said well maybe it's a MasterCard or Amex and would I confirm my credit card numbers with them. I refused, saying I don't give out that information over the phone & I would report them for unethical practices. They said I couldn't report them since they are a business. I told them I can report anyone I please & they are being reported. A few more choice words & I hung up....
They called. I very quickly saw they were a scam. Told them I was not interested, and they called back an hour later. Annoyed about the callback as well as the fact I'm on the DNC registry.
231-337-2147 (caller id read "ConfirmSales") woke me up out of a sound sleep this morning so I was actually falling for the free gas coupons.
she said I had recently made a purchase with my credit card, she spouted off the last 4 digits of my card, she knew my name and address. I was then transferred to another lady to confirm everything and she said I could try the coupon book for a trial month and then my card would be charged (missed the amount) after the 30 day trial period. That's when I freaked out! And said, "never mind. I don't want to do this. I don't like my card being charged and I have to remember to cancel a program" She became EXTREMELY rude trying to explain the program to me. I asked for the 1-800 number again (that she had rattled off earlier in the convo.) because I wanted to insure that I had a contact number. She did NOT want to give it to me saying that if I wasn't in the program then the number wouldn't help me. She ended by sarcastically telling me "you have been a pleasure to talk to". I immediately got on the computer to see what this is about. I'm still shaking.
This is the 1-800 number she gave me
Leisure Discount Service Center 1-800-660-0016
I called this number and spoke to a very nice lady. (I gave NO information) She explained the program to me. My card was given by a marketing partner that I had either ordered from off the Internet, magazine, infomercial or something like that. It does actually sound like a legit company, however it still makes me nervous.
Keeps calling, when answered, they hang up or the computer hangs up. When not answered, they leave a message and states that this call is just an order shipment confirmation to call back. When one calls back they want your phone number.
