Thank you Kat. You are so right. I just went through this but the second I got hit up for money I knew what it was! And thank you DR PHIL!!! It's so very sad. This breaks my heart for me and especially for those who actually paid.
Received call from this number. I didn't answer and they left no message. I called from a different phone to see who answered and received a recording stating that the person called using magic jack and i needed to call them back from the number called to get through to them or have them call me at the current number I was calling from to get through to them.
A man with a foreign accent called my mom saying he was from Publishers Clearing House and she had won hundreds of thousands of dollars and a new car. Wanted her to go to Walmart and buy a thoussand dollars worth of gift cards. He made the mistake of calling back while I was there. I had a little fun getting him spun up before I hung up on him and turned the call in to the local police department. I don't think he was in the USA.
VALUABLE INFORMATION: This number is related to the phone application magic jack, it is a generic number used in the application. It can be used via their website http://www.magicjack.com/plus-v05/ or via download on your phones app store. This could literally be anyone dialing your number, but if you received a call from this number, it is dialing through MAGIC JACK. Hope this helps.
