I recently started getting their calls too. Several times a day, they said they were calling for the same reason, only I couldn't understand them at the time because he was talking so fast (probably from a script) He knew my name and what city I lived in. So I said, "Sorry where are you calling from? and what for?" After that he hung up.. odd, i figure they are just fishing for info
Yesterday I started receiving calls from this number. I had recently made a purchase online of the "Swivel Store spice rack" (big mistake, but that's another story). I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize so I looked up the number and found this and other websites stating that it was a scam. Today they called me THREE times before I woke up, and I was ready for them the next time they called. They knew my name, knew the town I lived in, and were trying to send me a gas card or whatever like everyone else. I told them I had read that it was a scam and I wasn't interested, and "put me down as a no". I'm sure they'll call again though.
Many calls from this number with no message left. Caller ID says "confirm sales". Picked up accidentally tonight, fast talking young woman who said she was calling from Vista claimed I had made a recent purchase with my credit card and thus was entitled to gas discount cards. I asked what I had purchased and was told it was from one of their "affiliates". Again I interrupted her to ask what affiliate and what had I purchased and she claimed to protect my privacy she couldn't tell me. I firmly told her to take my number off their list and to no longer call me. She said not a problem and have a nice day. If they never call again, it will be a nice day. How is this happening when one is on the do not call registry? I have three numbers I'm getting annoying calls from lately with no messages left and some of the calls are quite late in the evening. How do we get this stopped?
