I'm from canada just got this phone call something about equifax(credit rating company) and my credit. Saying that my credit for the last 12 months were great and it just went up and that i'm to recive TWO THOUSAND and some odd dollars or something to that effect in a credit. It said to press the #1 which I thought was to talk to somebody so i did and the call just disconnected. (So not sure what i did by pressing the number 1 maybe added to their list for a call back?) Never talked to an actual live person just a recording.
I'm in the UK and I received a recorded message from this number offering advice on debts. I hung up. This call is illegal under UK law: firstly, I'm listed on the equivalent of your no-call list, and secondly, anyone offering financial advice in this country has to be authorised to do so.
Said that they got my name from a freind and wanted to offer me some kind of vacation package.... COMPLETE SCAM, contacted police, people will hound you for you cc #

Just got a call from this number 1-231-732-2145. It was a automated service which Listed a bunch of department stores, only one that stuck was Wal-Mart. Said that all these stores now have there winter displays up, and somebody that was shopping at one the stores enter to win a trip. Went on to tell me about a all inclusive trip to cancun and also joint trip to some casino. Unlimted beer, wine, food, etc.. After overselling the fact that I won this $2600 trip it told me to push 1 to retrieve it or push 3 to deny it. I did neither and waited on the line to only get a click shortly after and it went dead.
Knew this was a scam from the start, specially when it said the stores now have there winter displays up. By golly I knows its cold here, but friggin winter is over and hopefully it gets warmer soon. No store has winter stock on display now, its the start of summer.
I would be very carefully about pushing any numbers, even though I was very curious. I have been told before that if you push numbers it can some how give the caller ok to bill long distance calls to you account. If you do push any numbers on your phone, I would call the phone company and tell them about it and see if that can watch this for you. My advise do not Push anything on your phone.
Reverse lookup shows its in Morley? can't recall name of town, but its in Michigan, United States
